Dodge Charger: A Return to Europe That Makes Noise… or Not!

Icon of American car culture, the Dodge Charger is set to make its grand return to the European market.

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the model, Dodge is opening a new chapter by offering a unique lineup: thermal and 100% electric powertrains combined under the same name.

Launched in 1966, the Charger quickly became one of the most iconic symbols of the muscle car era. With its imposing silhouette, generous V8 engines, and bold character, it has marked several generations of enthusiasts. Over time, it has also won over the general public through its many appearances in movies and cult series, reinforcing its status as a global icon.

An American Legend

Today, Dodge aims to preserve this heritage while looking toward the future. The new Charger retains the codes that made it successful, with a muscular stance and spectacular design, while incorporating modern technologies and a multi-energy approach.

The lineup will thus include two versions equipped with the new SIXPACK thermal engine: a Charger R/T with 420 hp and a Charger Scat Pack with 550 hp powered by the six-cylinder biturbo Hurricane. In parallel, Dodge will also offer 100% electric Charger Daytonas. The R/T version will develop 536 hp, while the Scat Pack will boast up to 670 hp.

All versions will benefit from all-wheel drive as standard and will be available as a two-door coupe or a four-door sedan.

“The return of the Charger to Europe is a key moment for the brand,” emphasizes Fabio Catone, head of Dodge Europe.
