Dodge Teases New Charger Pursuit on Instagram

Dodge has recently stirred some excitement within the law enforcement community with a teaser post on their official Dodge Law Instagram page. The post, featuring a shadowy image of the upcoming 2025 Dodge Charger adorned with a police livery, was accompanied by a cryptic caption: “Surely you didn’t think we’d forget about a legend. Stay tuned for more details. 😎 Concept model. Not available for purchase.” This subtle hint suggests that Dodge might be planning to reveal a new Charger Pursuit model, potentially continuing its legacy as a preferred choice for police fleets across North America.

The Dodge Charger Pursuit has held a significant place in law enforcement since its introduction in 2006. When Ford discontinued the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor in 2012, the Charger stepped up to fill the gap, quickly becoming a go-to vehicle for many police departments. The sedan’s rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD) options, combined with the powerful 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 engine, made it a favorite for highway patrols and other demanding law enforcement duties.

However, Dodge has remained tight-lipped about the details of a new Pursuit model. Former Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis, who has since moved on from the brand, kept speculation alive by stating, “It’s definitely on our radar,” when asked about the possibility of a new Charger Pursuit. Despite the buzz, no official confirmation has been given, leaving enthusiasts and law enforcement agencies eagerly awaiting further news.

The 2025 Dodge Charger sedan, set to begin production in the first quarter of 2025, offers a versatile lineup that includes both all-electric and internal combustion engine (ICE) powertrains. The Charger Daytona R/T sedan, for instance, boasts an impressive 315 miles of all-electric range and delivers 456 horsepower. On the other hand, the Charger SIX PACK sedan is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Hurricane I6 engine, producing 420 horsepower with standard AWD. These options cater to a wide range of needs, including regions with strict California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations and areas where electrified vehicles (EVs) are not yet practical.

One of the challenges in developing a new Charger Pursuit model lies in adapting the sedan’s design to meet the specific requirements of law enforcement vehicles. For example, the separation of the passenger compartment from the rear hatch area is which is crucial to prevent unauthorized access to detained individuals. While this poses a design challenge, aftermarket upfitters are expected to provide solutions that meet these needs.

Dodge’s recent teaser post suggests that the brand might unveil a concept version of an all-electric Daytona Pursuit model, which would align with the growing trend toward electrification in law enforcement fleets. Such a model would also allow Dodge to maintain a strong presence in states that adhere to CARB regulations like California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.

.The upcoming International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Annual Conference and Exposition in October could serve as an ideal platform for Dodge to showcase this new concept. As the largest law enforcement event of the year, it would provide the perfect opportunity for Dodge to demonstrate its commitment to meeting the evolving needs of police agencies.

With Dodge being the only manufacturer offering a four-door sedan specifically tailored for law enforcement, the anticipation surrounding a new Charger Pursuit model is only growing.
