Dodge Confirms Electric Charger Daytona R/T Is Dead as Unsold Cars Pile Up

a year ago

Dodge discontinues the base Daytona R/T trim of the electric Charger for the 2026 model year.
Only the pricier Scat Pack version will remain until the four-door model arrives.
Massive incentives are being offered on 2024 and 2025 models to clear excess inventory.
U.S. tariff policies have impacted pricing, leading to the postponement of the R/T trim.
Dealers are sitting on approximately 3,500 Charger Daytona R/Ts, offering steep discounts.
The 2025 R/T had a base price of $61,595, while the Scat Pack costs $75,980.
The twin-turbo Sixpack variants are expected to launch in the second half of the year.
No confirmation on whether the R/T trim will return in the future.
The long-rumored V8-powered Charger's status remains unclear.
