The eighth-generation Dodge Charger is already a few years old. Since the model launched for 2024, Dodge has slowly expanded the lineup to include electric and combustion powertrains, but as the Charger enters 2027, the Daytona EV is getting a hefty price increase with no significant changes other than the NACS charging port.

The 2027 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack now starts at $72,495 for the two-door model, which is $12,500 more than before. The Daytona Scat Pack Plus is priced at $77,490 for 2027, while four-door versions of both add $500 to the price.

The powertrain remains unchanged, with the electric charger capable of producing up to 670 horsepower. The Daytona is the most powerful version of the Charger at the moment, surpassing the sixpack-powered Charger R/T and Scat Pack, which produce 420 hp and 550 hp respectively from the same twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six engine with different tunes.

What’s new in the 2027 Dodge Charger?

Dodge didn’t make any major changes to the Charger for 2027. Instead, the automaker increased its lineup of factory-supported personalization options.

On the outside, customers have access to a wide range of factory Mopar graphics. The automaker will also offer dual stripes in Gloss Red, Satin White and Satin Black. Dodge will also offer an orange and black Brembo brake caliper package.

Inside, the Scat Pack model may feature Petrol Blue performance leather seats with red stitching and unique vents. Demonic Red seat belts are also now available across the entire lineup.



Dodge has opened the order books for the 2027 Charger, which will begin arriving at dealerships in the third quarter of the year. All-wheel drive is standard across the entire lineup.


Motor1’s Opinion: While the price of the Electric Charger Daytona has increased significantly, the rest of the lineup is unchanged, which should make enthusiasts happy. We suspect that the higher price of the EV will not impact sales as consumers are waiting for the Hellcat variant.
