2027 Dodge Charger Daytona Is $12,500 More Expensive Than It Is In 2026 For No Apparent Reason
Jalopnik • • technology
Key Points:
- Dodge is significantly increasing the 2027 Charger Daytona Scat Pack prices by $11,000 to $12,500, with the 2-Door starting at $72,495 and the 4-Door at $72,995, compared to much lower 2026 prices.
- The price hike is puzzling as the 2027 model has minimal updates, mainly a new NACS charging port and additional customization options, without any power or performance improvements.
- Dodge's official statement cites "shifting market dynamics, policy changes and economics" as reasons, hinting at possible tariff-related cost increases for EV components rather than product enhancements.
- The gas-powered Charger Sixpack retains its 2026 pricing, suggesting the price jump is specific to the electric Daytona, possibly due to higher production or import costs for batteries and parts.
- An unusual pricing anomaly is noted where upgrading from coupe to sedan costs only $500 for the electric Daytona but $2,000 for the gas-powered Sixpack, adding to the overall confusion around Dodge's pricing strategy.
