The numbers alone are enough to make gearheads take notice: 670 horsepower in the Charger Daytona Scat Pack, 496 horsepower in the Charger Daytona R/T—and all of it hooked up to a sophisticated AWD system that delivers power where it’s needed most. Dodge’s engineers have gone all in to make sure this Charger isn’t just about straight-line speed, but also unshakable grip on snow, ice, and slick pavement.
Winter-Ready Muscle with No Compromises
Dodge didn’t just slap AWD on and call it a day. The Charger Daytona is loaded with cutting-edge tech designed to make winter driving a thrill, not a chore:
- Wet/Snow Mode: Actively balances torque between front and rear wheels for maximum traction.
- Mechanical Limited Slip Differential: Ensures both rear wheels put power to the pavement, even in slippery conditions.
- Drift/Donut Mode: Disengages front-wheel drive and dials back traction control for old-school rear-wheel-drive hooning—because muscle cars should still be fun in the snow.
Gas or Electric, Two or Four Doors—Every Charger Gets AWD
Dodge isn’t just electrifying the Charger nameplate, they’re expanding it. Alongside the two-door electric Daytona, the lineup will include a four-door Charger Daytona in early 2025, followed by the gas-powered Charger SIXPACK later in the year, both featuring standard AWD. Whether you’re into instant electric torque or twin-turbo Hurricane power, Dodge is making sure you can harness that muscle in all conditions.
For over a century, Dodge has built cars that dominate the streets, the drag strip, and the track. Now, with the first-ever AWD muscle car, they’re proving that performance doesn’t take a snow day.
“The all-new Dodge Charger is truly the world’s only all-wheel-drive muscle car,” said Matt McAlear, Dodge CEO. “The Dodge Charger lineup will deliver multi-energy powertrain options and, no matter what model customers choose, all-wheel-drive capability is standard, which is an opportunity for both the Dodge brand and for our customers who live in colder climates. Two-door or four-door, battery-electric or gas-powered, the next-gen Charger Daytona is a muscle car engineered to master the street, drag strip and the racetrack, as well as treacherous weather conditions, including the cold, ice and snow.”
