2025 Dodge Charger

Overview

The Charger muscle vehicle returns to the Dodge range in 2025, but it’s more than just fresh tires: it’s available in two body designs. The range will include a four-door sedan, like it did in the previous generation, as well as a two-door fastback coupe. The HEMI V-8 engine from the previous model has been replaced with a twin-turbo inline-six with 420 or 550 horsepower that powers standard all-wheel drive. The 2025 Charger’s style is primarily influenced by Dodge muscle vehicles from the 1960s and 1970s, and the designers have also integrated throwback elements within the interior.

The dashboard takes its layered appearance from the 1968 Charger, and an old-school pistol-grip shifter sprouts from the center console. The technology within the interior, of course, is light years ahead of anything engineers in the 1960s could have imagined, with a 10.3- or 16.0-inch digital gauge display and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen. The 2025 Charger comes included with driver-assistance technology that would have sounded futuristic in the 1960s, including as adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, and lane-keeping assist. The new Charger will go into production in early 2025 and should be in Dodge dealerships soon thereafter.

What’s New in 2025?

In short, everything. The Charger has been completely revamped, and despite its antique look, it is a contemporary muscle vehicle. So current, in fact, that an electric version named Charger Daytona will be available alongside the gas-powered counterpart. We examine the Charger Daytona individually.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

The pricing of the 2025 Dodge Charger is estimated to range from $40,000 to $50,000, depending on trim and extras.

At launch, the Charger will be available in either Standard Output (S.O.) or High Output (H.O.) variants. We don’t have all of the details yet, but the Sixpack H.O.’s 550 horsepower is an appealing 130-hp improvement. When the 2025 Charger goes on sale, Dodge will most likely offer trims like Scat Pack, GT, and R/T, but no specifications have been announced.

Engine, Transmission and Performance

The Charger is equipped solely with a twin-turbocharged inline-six known as the Hurricane, which is also available in the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. The Sixpack S.O. produces a hearty 420 horsepower. Going with the Sixpack H.O. model increases horsepower to 550 ponies. The H.O. is not the most powerful Charger model, however. That distinction goes to the electric Charger Daytona, which can be equipped with up to 670 horsepower; we will look at that model separately. The gasoline-powered Charger is equipped with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic gearbox. When we have an opportunity, we’ll take the Charger to our test track and report back on the acceleration findings.

Interior, Comfort and Cargo

The Charger’s interior combines classic and contemporary elements. The layered dash design is reminiscent of the late 1960s Dodge Charger, as is the pistol-grip shift lever for the automatic gearbox. Other features include digital displays and adjustable ambient lighting, indicating that this is a contemporary charger. Bucket seats in the front looks big and comfy, but if you intend to often transport more than one other person, we recommend the four-door since its back seat appears to be larger than the coupe’s. Cargo space should be ample, given both the two- and four-door variants have a rear liftback configuration rather than a regular trunk. It should provide for simple access to the storage area behind the back seat.

entertainment and connectivity

All variants will come with a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen that will use Dodge’s Uconnect 5 software. A 10.3-inch digital gauge cluster is standard, however it may be upgraded to a bigger 16.0-inch unit on some versions. SiriusXM satellite radio, in-dash navigation, and Amazon’s Alexa speech assistant are all available. Dodge has not confirmed this, but we anticipate wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well. Two Alpine stereo systems will be available, including one with 18 speakers.

Safety and Driver Assistance Features

Standard driver-assistance features include blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking. More sophisticated technologies, such as a curb-side camera system that aids in parallel parking, are optional. For additional information on the Charger’s crash test results, see to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. The key safety elements are:

Standard automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection.

Standard lane departure warning with lane-keeping assistance.
Standard adaptive cruise control with a lane centering function.
Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
The Charger has mediocre warranty policies for its class. Neither the Dodge nor its major competitor, the Ford Mustang, provide a comprehensive planned maintenance package as standard.

The limited warranty covers three years or 36,000 miles.
The powertrain warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles.
No free planned maintenance.
