The Dodge Magnum nameplate is perhaps best known for its time as a Charger-based station wagon on the beloved rear-wheel-drive (RWD) LX platform. Fast forward nearly 20 years since its introduction, and Dodge is rolling out its new LB platform for the next-generation Dodge Charger. With the introduction of electrification to the Dodge muscle car lineup for the first time, it’s only fitting that the all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona could inspire a new wagon variant.
Automotive website Carscoops has envisioned an all-electric Dodge Magnum inspired by the latest Charger Daytona, blending retro style with cutting-edge technology. This new Magnum concept draws heavily on the latest Charger Daytona “e-muscle” models. It features a sleek and muscular exterior that merges functionality with high-powered aesthetics. One standout feature is the Dodge front R-Wing, a design element that pays homage to the original Charger Daytona, adding a nostalgic touch while enhancing aerodynamic downforce and efficiency.
The lighting setup is another highlight, with slim front lights and distinctive red “race track” LED rear tail lamps centered around a backlit Fratzog logo. The widebody stance, sizeable rear quarter windows, and a redesigned rear bumper with a roof spoiler contribute to the Magnum concept’s aggressive profile. An optional full-length glass roof pushes the boundaries of traditional station wagon design, adding a modern touch to this classic nameplate.
Being based on the Charger Daytona means the Magnum concept would be built on the Stellantis STLA Large platform and could accommodate internal combustion engines (ICEs) and electric variants. Thanks to its wagon profile, the Magnum would indirectly compete with some of the most prestigious names in the high-performance large wagon segment, positioning itself as a more affordable alternative. Rivals would include the upcoming BMW M5 Wagon, Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, and Audi A6 Avant e-tron.
With SUVs being more popular than ever due to their functionality, maybe it’s the perfect time to bring back a wagon variant of the Charger. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
