IT'S OFFICIAL: 2024 DODGE CHARGER DAYTONA PRICING

EV Channels Review

Dodge has officially announced pricing for the 2024 Charger Daytona First Editions, available exclusively as a two-door model. The R/T trim starts at $59,595, while the higher-performance Scat Pack begins at $73,190, both before a $1,995 destination fee. A significant point of contention is that the $7,500 federal tax credit is only mentioned for leases, not purchases, raising questions about affordability for buyers. The reviewer highlights that the First Edition models come standard with eStage upgrades, boosting the R/T to 496 horsepower and the Scat Pack to 670 horsepower. Performance figures for the Scat Pack are competitive, with a 0-60 mph time of 3.3 seconds, but the reviewer notes that similarly priced EVs like the Tesla Model 3 Performance offer comparable or superior performance. The video details various optional packages, including the Plus Group, Blacktop Package, and Sun and Sound Package, which can significantly increase the final price. The reviewer expresses disappointment that Dodge, historically known for affordability, is pricing these electric muscle cars at a premium, potentially alienating its core customer base. Production has already begun, with cars on lots, while four-door models and the inline-six variants are slated for January 2025 production.
