A four-door Dodge Charger Daytona sedan is joining the two-door Charger Daytona coupe in the 2026 model-year Charger Daytona lineup. The world’s only four-door muscle car made its official first-drive debut on May 21, 2025 at the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA) Spring Rally in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.

The MAMA Spring Rally is held each year at Road America where members have the opportunity to drive a wide variety of vehicles on the famed race track, through a challenging off-road course, in an autocross competition, and of course, the way most cars and trucks spend their life, on the public roads around Wisconsin’s Kettle Moraine. Around 80 MAMA media members got to experience about the same number of new vehicles from across most every new-vehicle segment

The Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack, still the world's quickest and most powerful muscle car, will be available in both four-door sedan and two-door coupe options for the 2026 model year.

All Charger Daytona models — both four-door and two-door — will be delivered from the factory with 670-horspower and 627 lb.-ft. of torque. The powertrain system incorporates a high-voltage battery pack, a dual integrated charge module and both a front and rear electric drive module (EDM).

Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack continues to deliver Hellcat Redeye levels of performance, reaching 0-60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. All-wheel drive is standard on the all-new Dodge Charger models. Reminding you of its performance, at every start-up of the Charger Daytona its Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust with signature rumble alerts your neighbors and turns heads.

Every 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona, both four- and two-door models, will also include a day of performance driving instruction at Radford Racing School, the official high-performance driving school of Dodge//SRT.

Four-door and two-door 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack models are open for orders and will begin arriving at dealerships in the second half of 2025. Future Charger lineup will also offer two internal-combustion engine options with 550-horsepower Dodge Charger SIXPACK H.O. and 420-horsepower Charger SIXPACK S.O., powered by 3.0L Twin Turbo I-6 Hurricane engine.
