The world’s first electric muscle car is gaining a new set of doors.
Dodge has announced that the Charger Daytona will be available as a sedan starting with the 2026 model year. The body style is arriving a little later than expected, but it will make up for this by offering up to 670 horsepower from the get-go.
The world’s only four-door muscle car doesn’t look remarkably different from its two-door counterpart. Both models share the same front and rear fascia, roofline and lift gate. Were it not for the extra length between the B- and C-pillars it would be hard to tell the difference between the two.

The pictures accompanying the announcement don’t offer much of a glimpse at the interior. This suggests it also won’t be that different, aside from the extra room for those sitting in the back. The two- and four-door models both features a 16-inch cluster screen designed to look like the instrument panel from the 1968 Charger and a 12.3-inch center display that will function as an infotainment system. The Attitude Adjustment ambient lighting system features 64 colors and adjustable intensity levels.
“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,” Dodge CEO Matt McAlear said in a statement.

The news of the sedan comes just a week after the Detroit-based automaker quietly discontinued the entry-level Charger Daytona R/T. Because of this, the sedan will come with the Scat Pack trim package standard, which includes two electric motors that get their juice from a 100.5-kWh battery pack. The setup combines to produce a combined 670 hp and 627 ft lbs of torque. That’s enough to allow the beefy EV to rocket from zero to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds, or about as quick as the last gas-powered Hellcat Redeye.
The Charger Daytona and its synthetic exhaust sounds have struggled to gain traction since it launched last year, hence why the R/T variant has been “postponed.” The company clearly hopes that the addition of a set of doors, along with the launch of a gas-powered variant, will help boost sales somewhat. Dodge has yet to say how much the sedan will cost, but it is expected to hit dealers in the latter half of the year.
