Digital Artist Turns New Charger Into Modern Dodge Magnum Wagon

It’s been two decades since the Dodge Magnum first hit American roads and helped kick off the modern HEMI® era. While it didn’t last long, the Magnum left a big impression. It was bold, brash, and practical — a true American muscle wagon that still has diehard Mopar fans begging for a comeback. And now, thanks to a talented digital artist, we get a glimpse of what a modern Magnum could look like.

The artist behind this wild new vision is Nikita Chuicko, better known online as @kelsonik. He’s reimagined the all-new 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona four-door sedan as a proper widebody station wagon — and the result is seriously impressive.

Chuicko extended the Charger’s roofline to give it a striking long-roof profile, effectively transforming it into a modern muscle wagon. The added cargo space and utility make it more functional, while the aggressive stance keeps it true to the Charger’s performance DNA. To give it more visual appeal, he added two different custom wheel designs, allowing Mopar fans to imagine their dream setup.

One of the boldest changes is under the hood — or rather, on the hood. Instead of sticking with the smooth electric design of the current Charger Daytona, which features the aerodynamic R-Wing front opening, Chuicko added the classic Air Grabber scoop from the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon and 2023 Demon 170. It’s a move that not only turns heads but subtly throws a nod to HEMI lovers, hoping Dodge will eventually bring internal combustion back into the mix.

This isn’t the first time someone has called for the return of the Magnum, but it might be the best visual case for one yet. Dodge has already teased fans with a return to hatchback practicality in the new Charger Daytona. This render takes it a step further, offering the kind of daily-driver utility crossover buyers love while keeping the aggressive styling muscle car fans crave.

A Charger wagon could give them something fresh and truly different, expanding a lineup that’s gotten a little too thin. It would give customers another unique option in a market dominated by cookie-cutter crossovers, and could even attract buyers who want a muscle car attitude with real-world versatility.

Sure, it’s just a render for now. But it’s a reminder of what could be — and maybe what should be. Dodge, if you’re listening, you might want to give this one a serious look.
