It's been a long and winding road for the Dodge Charger to go from announcement to launch to having the full lineup on sale. For 2027, the new Charger lineup is complete, so now Dodge is starting to ramp up the fun options. The new year brings 25 new customization options, along with a new NACS charging port for the electric Daytona flagship. Dodge Does What It Does Best: More Options DodgeThe new options for 2027 aremostly about color. There are new paint options, but they're accents, not entire shades. Specifically, you can get new dual stripes in red, white, and black. There are new Charger blade graphics in the same colors, expanded availability of the satin black hood to Sixpack models, and orange or black brake calipers for the Brembo brake packs.Scat Pack models now have available Petrol Blue leather seats with a digital slash perforation design and red stitching. Red seatbelts are on offer across the entire line, too.Dodge isn't changing the price of the most basic Charger this year, and is introducing new trim grades. The $51,990 price (including $1,995 destination) for a base Charger R/T 2-door and $2,000 extra for the sedan is a line lock on price, as is the $56,990 for a Charger Scat Pack.A Charger Daytona Scat Pack, though, now starts from $74,490. That's a full $12,500 more than the same car last year. Dodge has updated it with the NACS charging port that lets you top up at Tesla Superchargers and other fast charging stations, but it's still the same 670 horsepower and 267 miles of range as before. 2027 Dodge Charger Pricing *Price includes $1,995 destination fee Still No Sign Of A Hemi Under The Hood Dodge You can now get the Dodge Charger in five basic forms. The lowest is the Charger R/T, which makes 420 hp and 468 pound-feet of torque from its 3.0-liter Hurricane I6. In muscle car figures, that one will run a 12.9-second quarter mile with two or four doors. For a "base" trim, it's pretty darned good.The Sixpack Charger Scat Pack comes with the High Output version of the Hurricane I6, making 550 hp and 531 lb-ft, cutting its quarter-mile down to 12.2. Both gas versions are available with two or four doors, and both get an eight-speed automatic with AWD and a selectable RWD mode.Charger Daytona is the electric one, and it's offered only as the Scat Pack after the R/T was dropped last year. The EV makes 670 hp and 627 lb-ft, and it can run an 11.5 quarter mile. It's the flagship of the Charger lineup, and now, it's priced like a flagship.Buy a Scat Pack model and you get a bonus. Both gas and EV Scat Pack models, along with Durango Hellcat SUVs, come with a one-day performance driving school at the Radford Racing School, which will hopefully help prevent drivers from turning the Charger into a Mustang.Dodge has already opened the order books for the 2027 Charger lineup. Expect the first new vehicles to show up at dealers after July 1. Despite the endless rumors claiming Dodge is bringing back the Hemi V8 to the Charger, there are no signs of it in the lineup yet. If Dodge does make it work, the big and thirsty V8 will deliver more rumble but at least 50 fewer horses than the I6 Charger R/T. However, the Hemi's return will most likely be a new SRT Hellcat, packing a punch that would likely dethrone the Daytona as the king of all Chargers. CarBuzz Insight – Why This Matters: Points to Dodge for holding the line on gas model pricing. These days, anything less than a four-figure increase is a win. The 420 hp and 550 hp cars deliver amazing power for the price. Raising the price of the EV, though, is baffling. Dodge sold just 240 Charger Daytonas in the first quarter, down from about 2,000 the same period last year. Even that 2,000 isn't exactly a strong figure, so we're not sure if Dodge is counting on the few buyers who want it really wanting it, or if you can expect big discounts very soon.
