Dodge Charger EV & Turbo Gasoline Muscle Available in Europe 2026
Dodge has officially opened European order books for the new generation Charger, offering buyers a choice between all-electric Daytona models and twin-turbocharged six-pack petrol variants. Prices start from €66,000, with first customer deliveries expected from September 2026.
Dodge is making one of its boldest moves in years by bringing the eighth-generation Charger to Europe through an official distribution network. For the first time, buyers in major European markets can order the car directly through authorized dealers instead of relying solely on independent importers.
The new Charger is significant because it comes with two completely different powertrain philosophies. Buyers can choose between the all-electric Charger Daytona and the gasoline-powered Charger Sixpack, both built on Stellantis’ STLA Large platform.
The Charger is offered in both two-door coupe and four-door body styles.
Charger Daytona EV Specifications
The electric Charger Daytona serves as the technological flagship of the range and is marketed by Dodge as the world’s first all-electric muscle car.
European specifications include:
• Dual-motor all-wheel drive
• 100.5 kWh battery pack
• 400-volt electrical architecture
• Two-door and four-door body styles
Two performance levels are expected:
Daytona R/T
• Up to 536 hp
• 0-60mph in about 4.2 seconds
Daytona Scat Pack
• Up to 670 hp
• All-wheel drive
• Positioned as the highest performing variant currently confirmed for Europe
Official WLTP range figures have not yet been published. Current US market figures suggest around 500km of range for the R/T and around 420km for the more powerful Scat Pack, although European homologation figures may differ.
Charging specifications for vehicles on the European market are still being finalized.
Charger Sixpack Specifications
For buyers unwilling to give up combustion power, Dodge will offer the Charger Sixpack, powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged Hurricane straight-six engine.
Two outputs are expected:
Sixpack standard output
• 420 hp
• All-wheel drive
Six pack high output
• 550 hp
• All-wheel drive
The sixpack replaces the legendary V8 engines previously associated with the Charger nameplate. While some traditional Dodge enthusiasts remain skeptical, the Hurricane engine delivers significantly more power than many previous naturally aspirated V8 models while meeting modern emissions requirements.
Design and technology
Regardless of the powertrain, every Charger features a wide body design, a modern interpretation of the classic 1968 Charger front-end, digital instrumentation, a large infotainment display and a practical hatchback-style rear opening.
The four-door model is particularly important to Europe, where practicality plays a bigger role in purchasing decisions than in Dodge’s traditional North American market.
Will it come to the UK?
The Charger is expected to be available in the UK via import channels, although current indications suggest that most vehicles will remain left-hand drive. Dodge has not announced plans for a factory right-hand drive version.
The European launch comes at a critical time for Dodge. Both the Charger Daytona EV and gasoline sixpack have struggled to gain momentum in the US market, prompting the brand to seek growth opportunities overseas.
Whether European buyers will embrace a big American muscle car remains uncertain. However, with official support, a choice of EV or gasoline power, and pricing that underpins some premium performance EVs, the new Charger comes with a stronger business case than previous Dodge exports.
For enthusiasts, the most notable aspect may simply be that a real Dodge Charger is once again officially sold in Europe.
Prices and availability
European orders opened this week, with Dodge confirming a starting price of €66,000. Initial deliveries are scheduled to begin in September 2026. Distribution will be handled by KW Automotive, while parts support will be provided by Iron Parts, giving the model a more formal sales and service structure than previous Dodge offerings in Europe.
