DODGE DAYTONA EV: SOLVING DODGE'S THEFT ISSUE ONE CAR AT A TIME

EV Channels Review

The Dodge Daytona EV is presented as a groundbreaking electric muscle car, but the review suggests it falls short of expectations. While praised for its improved handling, spacious interior, and practical hatchback design compared to previous Dodge models, the vehicle is criticized for its outdated technology, poor one-pedal driving calibration, and lack of essential EV features like route planning and battery preconditioning. Reviewers found it heavy and lacking the raw, engaging experience expected from a muscle car, likening it more to a luxury EV or even a Hyundai Ioniq. The artificial engine sound is also a point of contention, with a desire for a more authentic or switchable sound. Despite its potential for the future with software updates, the current iteration is deemed a "non-starter" and a "great 2018 car" that is overpriced for its performance and features, especially when compared to more advanced and affordable EVs like the Tesla Model S Plaid. The reviewer concludes that Dodge has arrived late to the EV party with a product that doesn't resonate with either traditional muscle car enthusiasts or experienced EV buyers.
