2026 Dodge Charger Daytona review

Dodge Charger Daytona: built for the drive, not the errand. Illustrative review

8.2/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona is a strong contender in its class. Sharp steering and a willing chassis; strong brakes. Limited cargo space and premium fuel recommended, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $60,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Would buy again

Bought it for the weekend drives and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.

★★★★☆Isaiah T. · Austin, TX · 18 months owned
Second one we've owned

Replaced an older Dodge with this one. Big step up in steering feel; I'd like a little more trunk space.

★★★★☆Grace G. · Charlotte, NC · 13 months owned
Better than the test drive suggested

The steering feel is the standout. My only gripe is the firm ride, which I knew going in.
