Overview
- Stellantis confirmed on Tuesday that the Dodge Charger will be sold in left‑hand drive European markets later this year in both gasoline six‑cylinder and all‑electric versions, with KW Automotive handling distribution through its dealer network.
- The planned European range covers four models, from a 420 hp Charger R/T with a twin‑turbo inline‑six up to a 670 hp Daytona Scat Pack EV, and all models are reported to come with all‑wheel drive.
- U.S. demand for the Charger Daytona EV has collapsed recently, dropping to 346 units in Q4 2025 and 240 units in Q1 2026, and Dodge raised U.S. 2027 pricing with the two‑door Daytona starting near $74,490.
- Early reviewer and customer accounts report software glitches such as disappearing images and unreliable screens plus delayed deliveries for some early EV owners, a commercial risk Stellantis must manage as it expands into Europe.
- Right‑hand drive conversions have not been announced and reports of a revived Hellcat V8 Charger remain unconfirmed, so near‑term availability will exclude markets that require RHD and future high‑performance variants are speculative.
