Dodge Pushes Back Charger SIX PACK Launch to Late 2025

In a recent announcement, Dodge revealed that it has pushed back the launch of the internal combustion engine (ICE) version of its new Charger to the second half of 2025. Originally, the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter HURRICANE I6-powered SIX PACK variants were expected to hit the market in the first quarter of 2025. However, due to adjustments in the production schedule, Dodge has decided to delay the launch of the SIX PACK models to ensure they meet the brand’s high standards of performance and innovation.

As part of this revised timeline, Dodge will introduce the all-new Charger Daytona sedan in the first quarter of 2025 instead. The Charger Daytona, the all-electric version of the new Charger, will launch exclusively as a two-door coupe this year, with the four-door sedan versions of the R/T and Scat Pack beginning production in January. This move aligns with Dodge’s strategy to prioritize the Daytona coupe and sedan, ensuring a smooth transition into the next phase of the Charger’s evolution.

The Charger SIX PACK lineup, consisting of both the high-output (H/O) coupe and the standard-output (S/O) sedan, represents Dodge’s bold departure from its traditional HEMI® V8 engines. The H/O version, designed for the two-door coupe, boasts a powerful 550 horsepower and 521 lb.-ft. of torque, while the S/O version for the four-door sedan delivers 420 horsepower and 469 lb.-ft. of torque. Both models are equipped with an 8-speed ZF-sourced TorqueFlite automatic transmission and come with standard all-wheel drive (AWD), with an option to disable the AWD system for a rear-wheel-drive experience.

The design updates for the SIX PACK models include several key changes to enhance both performance and aesthetics. The iconic front R-Wing has been replaced by a new grille and hood design, featuring a functional heat extractor and the distinctive ‘SIX PACK’ emblem. The front fascia now incorporates a redesigned layout to improve cooling for the powerful twin-turbocharged engine. At the rear, the fascia has been updated to remove the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust, opting instead for traditional dual exhaust outlets that align with the ICE engine’s character.

Inside, the SIX PACK models maintain a high-tech environment, featuring a standard 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, a 10.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and an optional upgrade to a larger 16-inch display. The interior will remain virtually unchanged from its Charger Daytona counterparts.

By focusing on the Charger Daytona’s rollout first, Dodge aims to maintain momentum in the market while ensuring that the SIX PACK variants will exceed expectations when they arrive later in the year.
