Dodge has released pricing for the 2024 Charger Daytona and it’s far more affordable than expected as it starts at US$ 59,595. The company also noted the model will qualify for the full US$ 7,500 federal tax credit when leased. The lineup starts off with the entry-level Charger Daytona R/T, which features a sport suspension and 18-inch aluminum wheels. Other highlights include a heated steering wheel and heated front seats with eight-way power adjustment on the driver’s side.

The model also comes equipped with automatic high beams, drowsy driver detection, rear cross path detection, and front/rear/side park warning.
Power is provided by a dual motor
all-wheel drive system that produces 456 hp and 547 Nm of torque. However, a PowerShot feature can increase the output to 496
hp for 15 seconds at a time. This setup enables the car to
accelerate from 0-96 km/h in 4.7 seconds, before hitting a top speed
of 220 km/h. The 100.5 kWh battery pack also promises to deliver a
range of 510 km. 190 Charger Daytona Scat Pack, which has 630 hp and 849 Nm of torque. Like in the R/T, there’s a
PowerShot function and it cranks the output to 670 hp. This
enables the Dodge to rocket from 0-96 km/h in 3.3 seconds and run
the quarter-mile in an estimated 11.5 seconds. However, the top speed falls to 216 km/h while the range plummets to 418 km/h.
Besides the upgraded powertrain, the Scat
Pack has additional drive modes, a Line Lock function, and Launch Control.
