Dodge has announced Canadian pricing for its all-new and all-electric 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona, which will start at $54,995 when it goes on sale later this year. It will initially be available in British Columbia and Quebec, and then roll out to other provinces.
First out of the gate will be the Charger Daytona two-door, which starts production this summer at the company’s plant in Windsor, Ontario. It will be followed by the four-door Daytona in 2025. The automaker said it should be eligible for applicable federal and provincial “green” rebates. Buy the car, and Dodge throws in either a Level 2 home charging station, or credits for public chargers on the Free2move network that’s owned by parent company Stellantis.
Dodge seldom starts out with the lower-level models, and it’s holding to that, introducing the two-door in two high-performance versions. The Daytona R/T will come with a standard and factory-installed Direct Connection Stage 1 Upgrade for that $54,995 price, and will have total output of 496 horsepower and 404 lb-ft of torque.
The Charger Daytona Scat Pack, at $86,995, will include a Track Package and factory-installed Direct Connection Stage 2 Upgrade, for a total of 670 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. That should take it from zero to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 3.3 seconds, and let it run the quarter-mile in some 11.5 seconds.
The Charger will use a 400-volt dual-motor system providing standard all-wheel-drive, along with a mechanical limited-slip differential and what it’s calling a Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust. Yes, it’s electric, but it’ll sound like there’s a V8 under the hood — and to our ears, an online demonstration sounds pretty good.
Other features will include a “PowerShot” incremental boost of 40 horsepower for 15 seconds; a front “R-Wing” pass-through for improved aerodynamics; one-pedal driving and adjustable regenerative braking; 12.3-inch centre touchscreen; pistol-grip shifter; Alpine audio; and on the R/T, valet drive mode, so your car doesn’t get parked at 496 horsepower.
The Scat Pack version will include launch control, line-lock for spinning the rear tires, “donut” mode for spins, and three levels of drift mode. It also includes race prep settings, which can warm the battery for optimum energy in drag racing, or a cold starting temperature for track racing that allows more track time.
The Scat Pack also includes 20-inch wheels, red Brembo six-piston front and four-piston rear brakes, gloss black spoiler, and adaptive dampers. Inside, it gets high-back leather-and-suede seats, heated rear seats, and Drive eXperience Recorder with settings to capture drag or circuit race video.
And what if you’re a Charger fan, but you’re still not sure about plugging in your car? You’ll be glad to know that while the electric Chargers are grabbing the headlines, Dodge has also announced that in the second half of 2025, it’ll be putting internal-combustion in as well. Its twin-turbo Hurricane 3.0L six-cylinder will be making an appearance in the Dodge Charger SIXPACK H.O., and that high-output version will be sending 550 horsepower to the wheels of this two-door model. For those who need two more points of entry, a four-door Charger SIXPACK S.O., for “standard output,” will be coming as well.
