Dodge has confirmed that the highly anticipated gas-powered 2025 Charger SIXPACK will reach dealerships in the second half of 2025, following the all-electric Charger Daytona's launch earlier in the year. The new model marks Dodge's return to internal combustion with the all-new Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six engine, offering up to 550 horsepower.
Both the Daytona and SIXPACK will come standard with all-wheel drive—an evolution from the previous L-platform Charger, which only offered AWD with the Pentastar V6. The new model rides on Stellantis' STLA Large platform and introduces a host of performance-oriented features, including a mechanical limited-slip rear differential, multiple drive modes, and a drift/donut mode that temporarily disables stability control for rear-drive excitement.
The Charger SIXPACK will be available in two power levels: the Standard Output version producing 420 horsepower and the High Output variant delivering 550 horsepower. Power is sent through an eight-speed automatic transmission, specifically the 880RE Gen4, which is built to handle up to 600 lb-ft of torque. While Dodge has not released official pricing, it is expected that the SIXPACK will undercut the starting price of the all-electric Charger Daytona R/T, which currently begins at $59,595 before destination fees.
With the shift away from V8 power, Dodge enthusiasts may have mixed feelings about the new engine's performance. While the Hurricane inline-six offers strong output, it lacks the distinctive sound of the outgoing HEMI V8s. Additionally, weight remains a concern, as early reports suggest the Daytona models are heavier than their predecessors.
Despite these challenges, Dodge is betting on the SIXPACK to reignite demand for the Charger as it transitions into a new era of muscle car performance.
