Daytona EV Gets a Major Upgrade

Posted on
  • The Charger Daytona Scat Pack is now $12,500 more expensive for 2027.
  • It now starts at $72,495 for the two-door and $77,490 for the four-door.
  • The price of the entry-level Charger R/T with the gas engine remains unchanged at $49,995.

The eighth generation Dodge Charger is already several years old. Since the model launched in 2024, Dodge has slowly expanded its lineup to include electric and combustion powertrains, but as the Charger enters 2027, the Daytona EV gets a big price increase with significant changes beyond the addition of a NACS charging port.

The 2027 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack now starts at $72,495 for the two-door model, up $12,500 from before. The Daytona Scat Pack Plus costs $77,490 for 2027, while the four-door versions both add $500 to the price tag.

The powertrain remains unchanged, with an electric charger capable of producing up to 670 horsepower. The Daytona is the most powerful version of the Charger, to date, topping the Charger R/T and Sixpack-powered Scat Pack, which produce 420 hp and 550 hp, respectively, from a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with a different tune.

The Dayton EV is the fastest Charger on sale today, hitting 60 miles per hour in 3.3 seconds and completing the quarter mile in 11.5 seconds. It takes an R/T of 4.6 seconds to reach 60 and 12.9 seconds to get down the drag strip. The Scat Pack is right in the middle, needing 3.9 seconds to 60 and 12.2 to run the quarter mile.

What’s New in the 2027 Dodge Charger?

Dodge isn’t making any major changes to the Charger for 2027. Instead, the automaker is increasing its suite of factory-backed personalization options.

Outside, customers have a wider range of factory Mopar graphics. The automaker will also offer the dual stripe in gloss red, satin white, and satin black. Dodge will also offer an orange and black Brembo brake caliper package.

Inside, the Scat Pack model can feature Petrol Blue leather performance seats with red stitching and unique perforations. Demonic Red seat belts are now also available across the range.



Dodge has opened the order books for the 2027 Charger, which will start arriving at dealers in the third quarter of this year. All-wheel drive is standard across the lineup.


Motorcycle Pickup1: Although the Daytona electric Charger received a big price increase, the rest of the product lineup remains unchanged, which should please fans. We doubt higher EV prices won’t impact sales as consumers wait for the Hellcat variant.
