2024 Dodge Charger Up Close: Is This the Coolest American EV Yet?

- Oh boy. So, if you thought that Dodge ending production of the iconic Hemi V-8 engine and announcing it was going electric for the next-generation Charger was the final nail in the coffin of red-blooded American muscle car enthusiasts everywhere, you could not have been more wrong. We’ve just had a look at the production versions of the 2024 Dodge Charger coupe and sedan (yep, the Charger is a coupe again!), and we’ve come away mightily impressed.
The numbers are fantastic. Up to 670 horsepower. Zero-to-60 mph in 3.3 seconds. A 100.5-kilowatt-hour battery pack that’ll fast-charge from 20%-80% in 28 minutes. A curb weight of 5,800 pounds … OK, those last two numbers aren’t stellar. But wait, there’s more: If you don’t want an electric Charger, wait until 2025, when the Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six-cylinder gas engine gets dropped under that shapely retro-styled hood. The standard-output Hurricane will make 420 hp; the high-output version will do 550 hp.
That performance is wrapped up in swoopy new styling that uses the same body regardless of whether you pick a coupe or sedan. All Chargers are now hatchbacks, too, so cargo room is huge. The interior is also completely new and, like the rest of the car, looks a lot like the 2022 Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept (which Dodge executives now admit wasn’t actually a “concept” at all). And yes, the Fratzonic chambered exhaust from the concept made it to production, but we haven’t heard it yet; that’s still coming.
Cars.com Detroit Bureau Chief Aaron Bragman got a first look at the new 2024 Charger and came away impressed. Here, he takes you through the all-new electric coupe and sedan (while the Sixpack gas models come in early 2025, the Daytona electric coupes arrive for the summer of ‘24), so get ready for a wild ride - the American muscle car brand isn’t dying, it’s just changing with the times.

They will sale alot when the hurricanes come online they will be beast dodge knows the tradition well
If that were true a 6 wouldn't be their biggest engine in a "muscle" car.
Why on this Green Earth are those Chargers WAY UP SO FREAKING HIGH like a 4x4?
Paging Dr Lowering Springs.. Dr Lowering Springs.. Emergency Room - Stat!
Because they are 4×4.
Glad to see you covering this Aaron. Love your voice for reviews.
Thanks for watching!
"Did I do good?" I notice no disclaimer of "All opinions are my own, and....."
I love them they are amazing
I would buy an ev charging time needs to improve 15 minutes max at home lol 😂
Between the 6-pack, the Daytona, the coup and sedan, and let’s not forget the upcoming banshee, this thing will sell in big numbers. Expect a plain jane base sedan with less acceleration but greater range in a few years, once they ramp up production and can offer NA sourced batteries to qualify for federal rebates.
No where to charge them in most places in the USA. It's takes 2 1/2 hrs to charge the battery from full "e" to full. Has top speed of 130, mini van speed. The "performance" is coded out, no tuning options less you can hack it with will of course destroy your warranty and most likely the car will have a failsafe and produce on error code that the IT will be told to tell you to take a hike if he sees it. They even admited that these cars are not efficient. "Range anxiety" is already an issue with EVs and us the main reason why people don't buy them, or trade theres in for a gasser and they expect to convince people to buy these inefficient slow cars? The car will kill Dodge.

1. Nowhere to charge-perhaps if you live in a rural area, like me. Good thing they have the gas Charger six pack with more horsepower than any previous model this side of the helcat.
2. If you need a higher top speed the Scatpack isn’t for you. You need the Banshee which will be released after the sedan hits the market.
3. No tuning options without voiding your warranty? Yeah, like the Hellcat v8, boy what a loser that was! OTOH, you can install factory approved Stage kits to bump the power-without voiding the warranty. WOW!
4.these cars are not efficient-well no shit have you seen the size of these tires? If you want efficient you might be in the market for a Prius brother.
5. “Range anxiety”. Again, there are gasoline Chargers available for these folk.
6. All you have proved is that you don’t know shit about this new car.
@@robblincoln2152 Dude I love that rural folks still understand the future and are not just shitting on things they do not yet understand.
Every single car rental company in America is selling off their EV fleet and about to FLOOD the market with unwanted ex-rentals.
People don’t want to rent an EV, much less do they want to own one.
There are lots of EVs that can charge fully in 30 minutes at fast charging stations.
It this thr first legacy auto ev to have a frunk. Bu the weight is so high andt to many version . They should do a RWD ,AWD and. Peformance. Also it should have the nacs plug off the bat.
So it's a charger and a dodge magnum hatchback🤔
You are talking like it is a new idea. All 82 to 87 Chargers were hatchbacks and all 84 to 92 Daytona's were hatchbacks. Plus most has turbos. Welcome to the 80's love it. Just need a kicker box in the back and head to the beach.
Yes .
AWESOME!!!!!!!
Im so damn excited. These things look amazing!
Never Trust Stellantis it’s about those Muscle cars to begin with. But they both look nice though.
But will the 6pack have a hybrid version?
Smh why would it need one........a hybrid Charger smh
Why call it Charger Daytona? Charger is good enough. Like the Mustang Mach e, they should've just called it Mach e.
GOD I WISH THEY WOULD ELECTRIFY THE CAMARO!!!!
No
they might. @@tylerplayzz8697
Hell no
RIP the Camaro they didn't need electric to kill it, just low sales and the CEO of GM.
This is the same you see every time a new generation of Mustang comes along. People lose their minds and say Ford is dead. Yet decades later, Mustang is one of the last standing and doing well. The same will happen here. Not with the EV but the gas engine versions.
No. The breathless cheering isn’t working. Too heavy & not enough power.
Dodge is dead... if you want a 6 cylinder you goto BMW, if you want an EV why would you trust a company that can't even get Uconnect 5 working after 4 years? RIP Dodge
Exactly rip dodge
Why best 6 cyl ever was Dodges inline slant 6's. Most durable engine ever. Plus don't need a brinks truck with you for maintenance like a BMW or have the lovely electrical problems of a BMW.
While i hate that the v8 is gone a. Dodge made good i6's and b. Have you seen modern bmws they are hideous
BMW is trash
No.
This will be a phenomenal sales flop.
they need to unleash their designers. or hire some new ones. this is a hatchback. a muscle car looks like a challenger. or a proper charger. like the 1999 concept. or the original. this...well...
It’s not 1999 anymore.
true. and it is visible, too. @@kristianyoung2429
Some don't realize time and technology changes things. Not always for the better, but here we are.
These will not sell good. Most people don’t want EV’s and if the price point is to high it will drive away customers.
I guess you missed the part that the inline 6 will be coming out soon..
@@R-View Most people that purchase these don't want a V6. They want big V8's
Dodge will be gone very soon, lmao
Not really !!! Lucid is much much better than any other Evs …. Unfortunately, Dodge has destroyed its legacy !!
How much lucid cost.
Lucid is not a good ev
It good just over priced . The question can dodge out sell lucid. @@JonR35
This car will definitely not succeed. An American muscle car that’s not an American muscle car. No V8, no RWD, no supercharger. Not to mention, EVs are unwanted by many despite the government’s urges.
RiP dodge
JUNK.
Junk junk junk no matter how you look at it all I see is junk
It looks nicer than a Tesla but even if I had the money I wouldn't buy it. The ev vehicles offer a less free and more restricted travel experience. The less computerized a vehicle can be the more free you will be. These vehicles will be monitored and controlled the same way a cell phone is.
Flop you forgotten your customer
This is a car no one asked for made by people who didn’t want to make it (and imply as much repeatedly in the cringe reveal video).
This car will flop because if you haven’t noticed, literally every single car manufacturer has an EV option that’s losing them money. Toyota is the only one smart enough to stick to hybrids.
I would never buy an EV.
So stupid. Good luck with that EV crap, Dodge!
color options? why havent i seen a black one yet
Diamond Black is a famous dodge color, it will surely be available.
No.
