Dodge is slowly filling out the Charger’s lineup. The two-door electric Daytona began reaching dealers earlier this year, and the automaker just revealed the Daytona sedan that’ll go on sale in a few weeks. However, those wanting a combustion-powered Charger will have to wait longer than expected.
In January, Dodge told dealers that the Charger Sixpack would reach showrooms “by summer 2025,” but that is no longer the case. Buried in the Daytona sedan’s announcement was this tidbit: “Dodge Charger Sixpack-powered models will launch in the second half of 2025.”

Summer begins on June 20, so maybe Dodge is planning for a brief delay that’ll push Charger deliveries to early July, but the verbiage gives the brand the rest of the year to put the final touches on the Sixpack before it goes on sale, and it likely can’t arrive soon enough.
Demand for EVs isn’t growing as fast as expected, and Dodge even postponed the Charger Daytona R/T, the 496-horsepower entry-level EV, as the automaker continues to assess “the effects of US tariff policies.”
There were rumors last year that demand for the gas-powered version had prompted the automaker to move up the model’s launch from late 2025 to early summer 2025. However, a lot has changed since then, and the threat of tariffs and political uncertainty has made it challenging for automakers.
