2025 Dodge Charger Performance
The Charger has long been a muscle car icon, and the 2025 model is no exception. This year marks Dodge’s shift into a new era of high-performance vehicles. Our team at Gerry Lane Enterprises invites you to explore the all-new Dodge Charger and take it for a test-drive.
What’s New in the 2025 Dodge Charger
The 2025 Dodge Charger debuts a fresh design with sleeker lines and improved aerodynamics. The biggest update is the switch from traditional V-8 engines to advanced inline-six options, combining power and efficiency. Dodge also introduces electric variants, catering to a range of performance preferences.
Engine Innovations and Performance
A highlight of the 2025 Charger is the Hurricane twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six engine. Available in two versions, the standard output delivers 420 horsepower, while the high-output version reaches up to 550 horsepower.
These engine upgrades provide powerful acceleration and top speed. The high-output model launches from 0 to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds, has a top speed of 134 mph in gas-powered versions, and completes a quarter mile in just 11.5 seconds with the Sixpack high-output model.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The Charger features a ZF 8HP eight-speed automatic transmission for smooth, responsive shifting. With standard all-wheel drive, it delivers enhanced traction and stability across various driving conditions.
Electric Variant: Charger Daytona EV
The Charger Daytona EV brings electric power to the lineup with up to 670 horsepower. Powered by a 93.9-kWh nickel-cobalt aluminum battery, it offers an estimated range of 260 to 319 miles, depending on the variant. DC fast charging takes the battery from 20% to 80% in just over 30 minutes, while a Level 2 home charger completes a full charge in under six hours.
This model redefines muscle cars, challenging traditional gas engines and providing a seamless transition to electric power.
