@FCA: Dodge Debuts All-new 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona Sedan — World’s Only Four-door Muscle Car

May 21, 2025 , Auburn Hills, Mich. –  Dodge is opening doors as it grows its muscle car family with the all-new, all-electric 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona sedan. The world’s only four-door muscle car will make its official first-drive debut today, May 21, 2025, at the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA) Spring Rally in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.

The Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack, still the world’s quickest and most powerful muscle car, will be available in both four-door sedan and two-door coupe options for the 2026 model year, with virtually all content the same for both models.

“The beauty is in the simplicity,” said Matt McAlear, Dodge CEO. “It’s a real testament to the Dodge design and engineering teams that apart from two additional doors, the Dodge Charger Daytona sedan embodies the same look and feel as the coupe, with the same widebody exterior, driver-centric interior, muscle car performance and standard all-wheel-drive capability, combined with four-door practicality. The 2026 Charger lineup is all about giving our customers the power to choose the muscle car that best fits their lifestyle, with even more choices to come later this year with gas-powered SIXPACK Charger models.”

Four-door and two-door Dodge Charger Daytona vehicles share a common roofline, liftgate, and front and rear fascia, creating a bold, sleek, coupe-like appearance for both trims. Four doors were purely integrated into the overall Charger design to allow the iconic Charger bodyside to further accentuate the bold and powerful presence of the new Charger, which has the widest body of any car in the industry.  

Like the coupe, the “hidden hatch” spacious interior of the four-door Dodge Charger boasts best in-class rear cargo volume and best in-class passenger volume. The Charger features an award-winning driver-oriented cockpit, but also provides excellent second-row headroom and a rear hatch layout with a massive amount of cargo capacity — max rear cargo area is 38.5 cubic feet, 133% more cargo volume than the outgoing Charger.

Key content shared between the 2026 Charger Daytona Scat Pack four-door and two-door models includes:
