Yahoo Autos 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona and Sixpack trim breakdown: Here's what you get
The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona is here, and so is the 2025 Dodge Charger Sixpack, sort of. Dodge uncovered all the details on the Daytona, the electric one, today in its two launch trims: R/T and Scat Pack. It also revealed that there will be two gasoline-powered variants – Sixpack S.O. and Sixpack H.O. – joining the Charger lineup, but since they’re launching after the electric Daytona, Dodge hasn’t provided as many details.
All the above said, let’s get into the trim breakdown starting with the Daytona.
2024 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T
The R/T (pictured in four-door form in orange above) is the base trim of the Charger Daytona at its launch. That means it offers the least amount of power, but it’s no slouch. In standard guise, the R/T produces 456 horsepower and 404 pound-feet of torque from its two electric motors, giving it all-wheel drive. One key asterisk to note is that Dodge’s peak horsepower figures are provided with the car in “PowerShot” mode that boosts output by 40 horsepower in 15-second intervals. Without “PowerShot” mode (how you’d drive around most of the time), the R/T produces 416 horsepower. To complicate matters a little further, the R/T (and the Scat Pack) come with Direct Connection kits as standard equipment at launch – they’ll be optional on cars after the first year. The Stage 1 kit applied to the R/T gives it a 40-horsepower boost, which means maximum output (when using PowerShot) will be 496 horsepower. In this guise, Dodge says it’s good for a 0-60 mph run of 4.7 seconds and will complete the 1/4 mile in 13.1 seconds.
Suspension-wise, the R/T is equipped with monotube passive dampers. No matter if it’s an R/T or Scat Pack, every 2024 model year Daytona comes with the Track Pack’s (explained in further detail in the Scat Pack section) big Brembo brake kit. Every version of the Charger Daytona also comes with the same 100.5 kilowatt-hour battery pack, but in the R/T it’s EPA-rated for 317 miles on a full charge. Charging speeds peak at 183 kW no matter the trim. The R/T gets Line Lock, Launch Control and Race Prep modes, but does not benefit from the Donut Mode and Drift Mode you’ll find on the Scat Pack.
You’ll be able to tell it’s the R/T on the exterior by the fender badging and wheels. The R/T gets 18-inch wheels in Tech Silver wrapped in 275-section-width tires at all four corners, while Scat Packs go bigger. An optional full-length glass roof can replace the steel, painted roof on either trim, too. The R/T gets a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system inside.
