ULTIMATE MUSCLE EV: 2025 DODGE CHARGER DAYTONA CEO WALKAROUND

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona marks a significant shift for the iconic muscle car brand, embracing an all-electric future while aiming to retain its performance DNA. Brand CEO Matt McAlear emphasizes that this is not just an EV, but a "better muscle car," boasting performance figures that surpass current V8 models, with standard AWD and impressive acceleration. The design draws heavily from the 1968 Charger, featuring a distinctive "r-wing" for aerodynamic efficiency and a unique Fratzonic chambered exhaust system that mimics V8 sounds, with the option to mute it. The interior offers spaciousness comparable to the four-door variant, best-in-class rear legroom, and a versatile cargo area thanks to the liftback design and fold-flat seats. While the Scat Pack starts around $75,000 and the RT around $59,995, both are eligible for tax credits when leased. The vehicle also retains performance-oriented features like drift and donut modes. The CEO's personal favorite aspect is the combination of high horsepower, AWD, and year-round usability, positioning it as a true daily driver.
