Dodge Charger Orders Open in Europe With Electric Daytona and Gas Sixpack Models

Dodge has opened European orders for the next-generation Charger, bringing the electric Daytona and gas-powered Sixpack models to Europe with pricing from €66,000 and deliveries expected from September 2026.

Dodge is taking its new Charger experiment to Europe, and this time the story is bigger than a niche import.

In an official Stellantis announcement, Dodge says European orders are now open for the next-generation Charger lineup. That includes both the all-electric Charger Daytona and the gasoline-powered Charger Sixpack, in R/T and Scat Pack forms, with two-door and four-door body styles available across the range.

Pricing starts from €66,000, and first European deliveries are expected from September 2026. Dodge vehicles in Europe will be sold through official importer KWA and its dealer network, with spare parts handled by Iron Parts and Services BV.

That makes this more than a symbolic return of an American badge. Dodge is trying to sell the same multi-energy muscle-car idea in a market where buyers already have plenty of fast EVs, strong emissions rules, high fuel prices, narrow roads, and far less nostalgia for modern Chargers than North American shoppers.

The Electric Daytona Leads the Story

The most interesting European Charger is the Daytona, because it carries the biggest brand risk and the clearest EV angle.

The Charger Daytona R/T uses a 400-volt electric architecture and a 100.5-kWh battery, with 400 kW, or 536 horsepower, according to Dodge. The stronger Daytona Scat Pack raises output to 500 kW, or 670 horsepower, and Dodge claims a 3.3-second 0-60 mph run plus an 11.5-second quarter-mile with enhanced performance calibration.

That is not subtle. Dodge is not sending Europe a quiet efficiency-first electric coupe. It is sending a full-size electric muscle car with standard all-wheel drive, big numbers, and the kind of personality features Dodge has used to separate the Daytona from more clinical performance EVs.

The question is whether that personality travels. Europe already has very fast electric cars from Porsche, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-AMG, Hyundai, Kia, Tesla, and Chinese brands. The Daytona’s job is not simply to be quick. It has to feel like a Charger in places where the Charger name is interesting, but not baked into family memory the way it is in North America.

The Gas Sixpack Keeps Dodge From Going EV-Only

Dodge is also bringing the Sixpack models, powered by the 3.0-litre twin-turbo Hurricane inline-six.

The gas Charger R/T is rated at 420 horsepower, with a claimed 4.6-second 0-60 mph time and a 12.9-second quarter-mile. The Sixpack Scat Pack raises output to 550 horsepower and cuts the 0-60 mph run to 3.9 seconds, with Dodge calling the high-output Hurricane the most powerful version of that engine in production.

This dual-powertrain strategy is the point. The new Charger sits on Stellantis’ STLA Large multi-energy platform, and Dodge is using Europe to pitch choice rather than a clean break from combustion. For an enthusiast brand, that is probably the practical move. Some buyers will want the fastest electric Daytona. Others will want the sound, range habits, and refuelling simplicity of gasoline.

The challenge is that “choice” can also make the message messy. Dodge spent years trying to convince muscle-car loyalists that the Daytona could carry the brand forward without a V8. Now it is also selling a turbo-six combustion version alongside it. That may help sales, but it puts pressure on the electric car to win on merit rather than just being the new era by default.

Why Europe Matters

Europe gives Dodge a useful test case.

The Charger is not a mainstream European car. It is large, heavy, powerful, and unapologetically American. That limits its natural audience, but it also gives Dodge something many European performance EVs do not have: theatre.

For buyers tired of tidy electric crossovers and restrained executive sedans, the Daytona could be appealing precisely because it is excessive. The front end is blunt, the stance is wide, the performance claims are loud, and the brand is not pretending this is a rational commuter appliance.

But excess has to be priced carefully. At €66,000 to start, the Charger lands in serious-money territory before local taxes, trim choices, and options. The electric Daytona Scat Pack will have to compete with established premium EVs that already have dealer networks, charging support, and European brand familiarity.

The gas versions face their own headwinds. European buyers who want combustion performance still exist, but fuel costs, taxes, emissions rules, and city restrictions make a high-output American muscle car a more emotional choice than a practical one.

That is why the order opening matters. Dodge is not chasing mass-market volume here. It is testing whether modern muscle can be a global specialty product with both electric and combustion personalities.

The Canadian Angle Is Windsor

There is also a Canadian production thread running through this story.

Stellantis launched Sixpack Charger production at Windsor Assembly Plant in late 2025 and said the plant was also producing the all-electric Charger Daytona Scat Pack alongside Chrysler minivans. The company framed the launch as part of a broader Windsor expansion, including a planned third shift and up to 1,500 jobs in early 2026.

That makes the European order book relevant beyond Dodge fans. Export demand, even if limited, helps tell us whether Windsor’s multi-energy Charger strategy has more legs than a North American halo play.

If Europe responds to the Daytona, Dodge gains evidence that electric muscle has appeal beyond the U.S. and Canada. If Europe leans more toward the gas Sixpack, that says something too: the Charger name may still work best when it offers theatre with a familiar engine under the hood.

Either way, this is a more interesting path than simply retreating from the EV version or pretending the combustion version does not exist.

What To Watch Next

The first thing to watch is trim mix. Dodge says European customers can order Daytona R/T, Daytona Scat Pack, Sixpack R/T, and Sixpack Scat Pack models, but the demand split will matter more than the headline that orders are open.

If the Daytona Scat Pack draws attention, Dodge can argue that the electric Charger is not just a North American compliance curiosity. If the gas models dominate, the multi-energy platform still looks useful, but the electric muscle-car argument gets harder.

The second thing is customer delivery timing. September 2026 is close enough that early European handoffs should show whether KWA’s importer model, parts support, and dealer network can make a low-volume Dodge feel properly supported.

The third is whether Dodge can keep the Charger from becoming a curiosity. A dramatic launch photo and 670 horsepower will get attention. Sustained demand will depend on pricing, real-world range, charging convenience for Daytona buyers, warranty confidence, and whether the car feels special enough to justify its size and cost in Europe.

For now, Dodge deserves credit for doing something unusual. The new Charger is not trying to be a generic global EV. It is trying to make American muscle work in a multi-energy era, then see whether Europe wants the same act.

That is a risky bet. It is also far more interesting than another cautious crossover.
