The next-generation 2024 Dodge Charger will arrive in mid-2024 as a battery-electric two-door coupe, followed by a battery-electric four-door sedan in early 2025. If you like the look of the 2024/2025 Charger Daytona, but you aren’t interested in an electric vehicle, Dodge will sell the gasoline-powered Charger Six Pack in early 2025.
Like many other Mopar fans, I was bummed to see the apparent end of the modern Hemi car era; but with the 2025 Dodge Charger Six Pack, people who hate the idea of driving an EV can enjoy the new look while burning gasoline.
Like the 2025 Charger Daytona BEV, the 2025 Charger Six Pack is available in two forms, standard output and high output. Both of these are powered by a Hurricane twin turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, an 8-speed automatic transmission, and an advanced all-wheel-drive system, with either 420 or 550 horsepower.
We don’t have torque figures yet, but the Hurricane I6 engines in the Ram 1500 offer 469 lb-ft (standard output) and 521 lb-ft (high output); while the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer offer 468 lb-ft (S,O.) and 500 lb-ft (H.O.), so the Charger Six Pack should be in that general range. Airflow and heat dissipation could theoretically bring those numbers down, but since they don’t limit horsepower, they probably don’t limit torque, either.
In any case, with 420 horsepower and 450+ lb-ft of torque, the Dodge Charger Six Pack standard output show comfortably beat the previous Challenger or Charger in R/T trim. The Charger Six Pack high output version, with 550 horsepower, around 500 lb-ft of torque, standard all-wheel-drive, and the quick-shifting 8-speed, will surely out-accelerate the current Scat Pack Challenger and Charger—and perhaps even a Challenger SRT Hellcat with the manual transmission.
There are no official images of the Dodge Charger Six Pack yet, but we expect that it will look nearly identical to the new Dodge Charger Daytona, in both coupe and sedan form. The one key design difference is the grille, which will depart from the flow-through R-Wing design of the Daytona in favor of a traditional grille for proper cooling of the twin-turbocharged engine. We also expect to see exhaust tips out back, no Fratzonic logo and no Daytona logo, of course.
Beyond that, the engineering team at the media preview stated that aside from a few exterior changes (like the grille) and the differences in the drivetrain components, the Charger Daytona and Charger Six Pack share most other components. With that in mind, we expect to see similar wheels, brakes and interior features to the 2024 Charger Daytona coupe and sedan.
