Dodge Charger Daytona EV: Testing in Italy, 4-Door Delay, and New Options

Dodge is actively testing the Charger Daytona Scat Pack in Europe, specifically in Italy, near the Maserati Modena Assembly Plant. This has led to speculation that Dodge is preparing the vehicle for launch in select European markets in 2026. These sightings suggest that Dodge is calibrating the car for different road conditions and showcasing it to dealers and media.

The four-door version of the Charger Daytona EV, initially expected in the first half of 2025, has been pushed back to the second half of the year and will be launched as a 2026 model. This aligns its release with the internal-combustion Charger Sixpack. The delay may be related to tariff uncertainties or other production-related factors.

Despite the delay, Dodge is adding new features for the 2026 model year, including a Track Package with upgraded Brembo brakes, adaptive dampers, and performance seats. Appearance options like racing stripes and a gloss-black hood will also be available. However, the online configurator for the 2026 Charger Daytona EV is not yet live, so pricing and specific configurations remain unknown.

It is likely part of pre-launch testing and calibration for a potential European market release.

The delay aligns the four-door model's release with the internal-combustion Charger Sixpack, possibly due to tariff uncertainties or production adjustments.

The Track Package (upgraded brakes, dampers, recorder, seats), racing stripes, and a gloss-black hood are new for 2026.

The Dodge Charger Daytona EV is coming to Europe, albeit with some adjustments to the release schedule. Key takeaways:
