Dodge Charger Sixpack vs Charger Daytona: Gas or Electric?

Same body, same cabin, same choice of two or four doors. What separates the gas Charger Sixpack from the electric Charger Daytona is how they make power, how you refuel them and how they sound. Here is the detail behind the choice.

Quick answer: The Charger Daytona Scat Pack is the quicker car: up to 670 hp with PowerShot and a Dodge-estimated 3.3-second 0-60 mph run, versus 550 hp and 3.9 seconds for the quickest gas Sixpack. The Sixpack refuels in minutes at any gas station and is rated up to 20 mpg combined (2026 EPA). The Daytona is rated up to 267 miles of range and 86 MPGe combined, and makes the most sense if you can charge at home. Both have standard AWD.

The Daytona's peak figure includes PowerShot, a button that adds 40 hp for 10 seconds. The Sixpack builds its power with boost instead: the R/T runs up to 22 psi and reaches full torque at 2,500 rpm, and the Scat Pack runs up to 30 psi. *Dodge estimates. For the full breakdown, see our Charger 0-60 and quarter-mile guide.

Fuel economy vs range and MPGe

The Sixpack's numbers below are 2026 EPA ratings, because EPA had not posted 2027 Sixpack figures as of late October 2026. The Daytona's are 2027 EPA ratings, and they change with the rear tire size.

If range matters more to you than grip, the car on 305-section tires all around is the one to look for. Ask us which tires are on a specific Daytona before you buy.

Charging at home vs filling up

The Sixpack works like any gas car: a few minutes at the pump and you're done, which is hard to beat on a long run up I-5. Keep in mind the Scat Pack is rated on premium fuel, while the R/T runs on regular.

The Daytona fits best into a routine where it charges overnight. For most Elk Grove and Sacramento-area owners, that means a 240-volt Level 2 charger in the garage, so the car starts each day with a full battery and public charging is only for road trips. If you rent or park on the street, map out where you would charge before you commit. Your electric utility may also offer EV rate plans worth asking about.

  • Native NACS port: standard on the 2027 Daytona. Dodge says it is the first Stellantis model to launch with one.
  • Tesla Superchargers: the Daytona can use them, and Dodge says owners get access to more than 29,000 additional chargers.
  • Adapter included: a J1772-to-NACS AC adapter comes with the car, so it can still use the many Level 2 chargers with the older J1772 plug.

Drivetrain and chassis

  • Sixpack: an 8-speed automatic with standard AWD and an on-demand RWD mode for drivers who want rear-drive behavior. The Scat Pack adds performance suspension, Brembo front brakes and 20x10-in wheels.
  • Daytona: one motor at each axle, rated by EPA at 250 kW each, for full-time AWD. A 100.5-kWh battery supplies them. Drift/Donut Mode, Launch Control, Race Prep and Sport, Track, Drag and Custom drive modes are standard.
  • Daytona Track Package: 16-in Brembo rotors with red fixed calipers, staggered 20-in wheels and adaptive damping.

Sound

The Sixpack sounds like what it is: a twin-turbo inline-6 with real exhaust. The Daytona has no engine, so Dodge fits every one with the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust to give the electric car a muscle-car sound of its own. Some drivers love it, some prefer the real thing. The only way to know which camp you are in is to drive both back to back.
