2027 Dodge Charger Trim Comparison: Daytona EV vs Sixpack R/T and Scat Pack
The 2027 Dodge Charger comes in two propulsion families. Charger Sixpack models use a gas 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six with an eight-speed automatic. Charger Daytona models use a dual-motor electric powertrain. Every 2027 Charger has standard all-wheel drive. Every one comes as a two-door coupe or a four-door sedan.
What Separates Charger Sixpack From Charger Daytona?
The difference is how each car makes power. The Sixpack sends engine power through an eight-speed automatic. Boost builds through twin turbochargers as revs climb. The Daytona sends instant torque to all four wheels through front and rear electric drive modules, with no gear changes at all.
Both have standard all-wheel drive. The Sixpack adds an on-demand rear-wheel-drive mode that sends all torque to the back wheels at the push of a button. Line Lock and Launch Control are available on gas models.
Want gear changes, engine sound, and rear-drive behavior on demand? Lean Sixpack. Want instant acceleration with no shift interruption? Lean Daytona. All specifications below come from the official Dodge 2027 Charger release.

How Much Horsepower Does Each 2027 Charger Trim Make?
There are three performance tiers with announced pricing, plus a fourth arriving later.
| Specification | Charger R/T | Charger Scat Pack | Charger Daytona Scat Pack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Horsepower | 420 hp | 550 hp | 670 hp (with PowerShot) |
| Torque | 468 lb-ft | 531 lb-ft | 627 lb-ft |
| 0–60 mph | 4.6 seconds | 3.9 seconds | 3.3 seconds |
| Quarter-mile | 12.9 seconds | 12.2 seconds | 11.5 seconds |
| Transmission | Eight-speed automatic | Eight-speed automatic | Single-speed |
| Drivetrain | AWD with on-demand RWD | AWD with on-demand RWD | All-wheel drive |
The Charger R/T makes 420 horsepower. Dodge calls that the most standard horsepower of any muscle car, with full torque available at 2,500 rpm. The Scat Pack uses a high-output version of the same engine and adds 130 horsepower. It runs up to 30 psi of boost through twin 54mm Garrett turbochargers.
The Daytona Scat Pack’s 670 horsepower is a peak figure. Base output is 630 horsepower. The steering-wheel PowerShot button adds 40 horsepower for 10 seconds on demand. That makes it the quickest and most powerful all-wheel-drive Charger Dodge builds.
A fourth Sixpack tier sits above the Scat Pack: the Charger Super Bee Launch Edition, a limited-production model making an SAE-certified 600 horsepower. Dodge has said pricing, ordering, and availability will be announced later in 2026. Full specifications are in our 2027 Charger Super Bee Launch Edition breakdown.
R/T Plus vs Scat Pack: The Same Money, Two Different Cars
This is the choice most 2027 Charger shoppers actually face. The two-door R/T Plus and the two-door Scat Pack are priced within a few dollars of each other. They answer opposite questions.
Charger R/T Plus
Spends the money on the cabin. You get ventilated and heated seating, a head-up display, navigation, a surround view camera, and premium lighting. It keeps the 420-horsepower standard-output engine.
Charger Scat Pack
Spends the same money on the engine. You get 550 horsepower and seven tenths quicker to 60 mph. It adds standard Line Lock, Launch Control, dual-mode active exhaust, performance suspension, and 15-inch vented rotors with six-piston Brembo front calipers. It keeps the base interior.
Want both? The Scat Pack Plus combines them.
What the Daytona Brings: Range, Charging, and Fratzonic Sound
| Specification | Charger Daytona Scat Pack |
|---|---|
| Battery | 100.5 kWh |
| EPA-Estimated Range | Up to 267 miles, depending on package |
| DC Fast Charging | Up to 350 kW capable |
| Electrical Architecture | 400-volt |

EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
The Sixpack breathes through a tuned exhaust. The Daytona uses the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust to make its performance sound instead. Daytona drive modes include Sport, Track, Drag, Custom, Auto/Eco, Wet/Snow, and Valet. Drift/Donut Mode, Launch Control, and battery preconditioning are standard.
Which 2027 Charger Trim Fits Your Drive?
| Trim | Choose it if |
|---|---|
| Charger R/T | You want the lowest entry point with real muscle car output and the option to add the Performance Handling Group |
| Charger Scat Pack | Straight-line speed is the priority and you would rather have 130 more horsepower than a heated rear seat |
| Any Plus trim | You drive the car daily and want comfort and technology to match the performance |
| Charger Daytona Scat Pack | You want the quickest Charger built and you can charge at home |
The Daytona Scat Pack costs about $17,500* more than the gas Scat Pack. That buys six tenths to 60 mph, 120 more horsepower, and no fuel stops. Drivers on the Interstate 10 corridor between Ontario and West Covina get instant passing power with no downshift wait.
