2026 Dodge Charger Daytona EV Sedan First Look: Now With 4 Doors
As expected, Dodge has officially confirmed the four-door version of the electric Charger is arriving later this year. Additionally, the company has revealed previously standard features like the Track Package will now be options, which should bring down base prices across the board for the 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona EV lineup. The sedan will reach dealers later this year and should help bolster sales numbers simply by virtue of attracting customers who want four doors, which is most of them.
More Doors
The four-door Charger EV is anything but a surprise. Dodge has been clear from the jump the Charger would come in both two- and four-door bodies to replace both the outgoing Charger sedan and Challenger coupe. The actual difference really is as simple as the number of doors, with Dodge explaining the roofline, hatchback, and front and rear styling are the same.
Like the two-doors, the four-door will come standard with both front and rear electric motors and therefore all-wheel drive. Because the R/T trim level has been cancelled for the 2026 model year, all Charger sedans will be Scat Packs and will therefore come with 670 hp and 627 lb-ft out of the box. Similarly, because the sedan uses the same 100.5-kWh battery as the coupe, range is likewise a maximum of 241 miles. Dodge says it'll charge from 10 percent to 80 percent in 24 minutes on a DC Fast charger, but in our testing, getting from 5 percent to 80 precent took 44 minutes, so color us doubtful.
With the same power and similar weight and aerodynamics, Dodge says the Charger EV sedan will hit 60 mph in 3.3 seconds. We measured a Charger Daytona Scat Pack EV coupe at 3.2 seconds.
Being the same means the sedan will also come with the controversial 'Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust,' which is actually a speaker that plays V-8 noises. It also means the sedan will have a Drift Mode but will still not be able to do standing burnouts.
Less Money?
Because the two body styles are the same underneath, all the same options apply. Dodge hasn't announced any changes for 2026 yet, and 2025 options include the convenience-oriented Plus Group, the appearance-oriented Carbon and Suede Package, and the performance-oriented Track Package.
Critically, though, the Track Package is now optional on both body styles. For 2025, it was standard (you literally could not uncheck the box) on Scat Packs and added $4,995 to the price of the car. Dodge hasn't announced 2026 pricing yet, but we're hopeful making the Track Package optional will knock thousands of dollars off the base price. For reference, the 2025 Charger Daytona Scat Pack coupe starts at $75,980. The entry level R/T model, which has been discontinued for 2026, started at $61,590.
Dodge says 2026 Charger EVs are available to order now, but the new models have not yet appeared on the website. Deliveries are scheduled for some time in the second half of this year. Both two- and four-door EVs will come with a day of free driver training at Radford Racing School in Arizona.
Gas-Powered Chargers Coming
Gas-powered Charger Sixpack models, which feature a twin-turbo inline six-cylinder 'Hurricane' engine under the hood and no electric motors in sight are also still on schedule to arrive later this year. We're led to believe the four-doors and gas-powered cars will show up around the same time. Pricing for these models, which will also be available in two- and four-door bodies, hasn't been released yet, either.
New Dress Up Options
Dodge also used this announcement to introduce two new exterior design options for 2026. The more elaborate is a Fratzog stripe package which features two matte black stripes with red accents and repeating Fratzog triangles inside the stripes. The other is a hand-painted gloss black hood option.
