FIRST LOOK: 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack Four-Door

Muscle Meets Practicality in Dodge’s Bold New Electric Sedan

Yesterday at the Stellantis Design Cars + Coffee event held at the Chrysler Technical Center (CTC) in Auburn Hills, Michigan, we finally got an up-close look at the all-new 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack four-door — and let me tell you, it was worth the wait.

Several versions of the all-electric Charger Daytona were on display, but the real stars were the two Scat Pack four-doors, one finished in the popular color Redeye, the other looking absolutely stunning in the new “After Dark” color — a deep, rich shade also known as Fathom Blue on other Stellantis vehicles.

Visually, the new four-door doesn’t veer far from the two-door version. Both share the same wide stance, 121-inch wheelbase, and 79.8-inch width (not including mirrors). Under the skin, they’re identical too — both powered by the G2500 400-volt front and rear electric drive modules (EDMs), delivering a combined 670 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. That’s serious performance in a package that now offers more everyday usability.

The big news here is the added practicality. With two extra doors, it’s easier to get in and out of the back seat — and easier to grab the front seat belt, thanks to the repositioned B-pillar. That’s something you don’t realize until you get in yourself. And for someone like me at 6-foot-1, the rear legroom was surprisingly generous, even with the front seat fully pushed back. Headroom also improves thanks to the slightly higher roofline in the rear, made possible by the new hatchback design. The only downside? When I sat up straight in the back seat, my line of sight was right at the very top of the rear window, making it hard to see out. Not ideal for taller folks, but honestly, it won’t matter much for kids or teens who’ll be back there more often than not.

The four-door version also offers a full-length glass roof as an option, adding even more openness to the cabin. If that’s not your style, a gloss-black painted roof comes standard. Some people might’ve preferred a traditional panoramic sunroof, but overall the design choice feels more in line with the car’s futuristic performance character.

From the front, the four-door is practically indistinguishable from the coupe — aggressive and sleek. But personally, I think the proportions of the four-door body actually make it look more balanced than the two-door. It’s muscular, but elegant, and totally unmistakable as a Charger.

This is a big move for Dodge. The new Charger Daytona Scat Pack four-door isn’t just a family-friendly EV — it’s a true muscle sedan that delivers on both performance and utility. And with SIXPACK variants coming soon, this four-door marks a key expansion of the Charger lineup heading into 2026.

We’ll have more updates on the new Charger soon — stay tuned.

2026 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack Brings Big Changes​

Four-Door Model, Lower Price, and No More Stage 2 Kits​

View attachment 11390

The Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack is getting some major updates for 2026—and if you’re a fan of Dodge’s next-gen muscle cars, there’s a lot to pay attention to.

For starters, the R/T version is gone. That’s right—Dodge is dropping the Daytona R/T for 2026. While our sources told us that the Charger Daytona would be an order-only model for the new year, Dodge has changed its mind. Dodge appears to have eliminated the R/T due to poor sales. According to various car inventory search websites, more than 3,500 units of the 496-horsepower R/T two-door are sitting on dealer lots, so it looks like Dodge is cutting its losses and shifting focus. Meanwhile, the more powerful Daytona Scat Pack—making 670 horsepower—still has around 1,600 units left from 2024 and 2025, but it’s sticking around for another year with some significant changes.

Not a fan it will be a bust till they put a HEMI in it and make it more RETRO..

It's going to be REALLY interesting to see how many Sixpack versions they can sell. Assuming they price it right on top of Ford Mustang GT, I am very eager to see if sales are good or if my suspicions are true and people still gravitate toward a V8 if money is equal.

If they are doing just one trim, they might as well drop the Scat Pack name too and return it and the R/T name to the V8 versions. They do not really need the Sixpack name as a differentiator either.

Charger Daytona (EV)
Charger Daytona Plus (EV)
Charger GT (I6)
Charger Outlaw (I6)
Charger R/T (V8)
Charger Scat Pack (V8)

Still missing an affordable model, like a Charger SE (I4) and/or Charger SXT (V6).
