2024 Dodge Charger Daytona: What’s New?

The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona is the production version of the brand’s Charger Daytona SRT Concept that debuted in 2022. The concept was a mostly production-ready version of the brand’s first-ever electric muscle car, and the Charger Daytona didn’t stray too far from the concept’s clean-shaven yet bulbous design.

The front has a Dodge-patented and vintage-inspired R-Wing front bumper design to enhance battery cooling while improving downforce, while the rear features a “Ring of Fire” LED taillight design. The brand’s Fratzog logo returns for the Charger Daytona after appearing on a handful of Dodge production cars between the early ’60s and the mid-70s.

The 2024 Charger Daytona is longer, wider, and marginally taller than the outgoing Charger while having a more extended 121-inch wheelbase. It will come in eight curated paint colors: Destroyer Grey, Peel Out, Diamond Black, Redeye, White Knuckle, Triple Nickel, and Bluedicrous.

STLA Large Platform

The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona is underpinned by the STLA Large platform, a flexible, battery-electric vehicle platform with the potential to carry extreme power, according to parent company Stellantis.

As further described by Stellantis, the STLA Large platform will support a variety of suspension modules and powertrain cradles, depending on vehicle-specific performance objectives. In the case of the 2024 Charger Daytona, STLA Large will accommodate both electrified and gasoline powertrains.
