What to Know About the 2027 Dodge Charger

City Dodge of Brookfield – What to Know About the 2027 Dodge Charger

The 2027 Dodge Charger is shaping up to be one of the most exciting modern muscle cars on the market because it does something few performance vehicles can do well: honor an unmistakable heritage while moving the nameplate forward. Dodge has kept the Charger bold, wide, and aggressive, but the 2027 lineup adds more choice than ever with gas-powered SIXPACK models, an all-electric Daytona Scat Pack model, standard all-wheel drive, and both two-door and four-door body styles. For drivers who want unmistakable presence, serious acceleration, and daily usability in one package, the newest Charger deserves a close look.

At City Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat of Brookfield, we know many shoppers are asking the same core questions: Is the new Charger gas or electric? Is it still a true muscle car? Can it work for everyday driving? The answer is yes, with an important twist. The 2027 Dodge Charger is no longer a one-path performance car. It offers multiple ways to experience Dodge power, including twin-turbo gas performance in the R/T and Scat Pack models and electrified performance in the Daytona Scat Pack. That broader lineup makes the Charger easier to match to different driving styles, from classic muscle fans to drivers interested in high-output electric acceleration.

A New Era of Dodge Muscle

The big story for the 2027 Dodge Charger is choice. The gas-powered Charger R/T and Charger Scat Pack use a 3.0L Twin-Turbo SIXPACK inline-six engine. The R/T features the Standard-Output version with strong horsepower and torque delivery, while the Scat Pack steps up to the High-Output version for even more performance. Both gas models come with all-wheel drive, giving the Charger confident traction and year-round practicality. Even better for muscle purists, the R/T and Scat Pack allow drivers to shift to rear-wheel drive at the touch of a button, bringing back that traditional performance feel when conditions and preferences call for it.

For shoppers interested in electric performance, the Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack brings a different kind of muscle. With a 400-volt propulsion system, dual electric drive motors, and high-voltage battery technology, the Daytona delivers instant torque and incredible acceleration. Dodge has positioned this model as a true performance EV, not simply an electric commuter with a sporty badge. Features like PowerShot, adjustable regenerative braking, and dedicated performance systems help the Daytona feel purpose-built for drivers who want speed, response, and innovation in one package.

Performance Highlights Worth Knowing

The 2027 Charger lineup is built around fast response, traction, and driver control. The Charger Scat Pack delivers up to 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque from its High-Output SIXPACK engine, while the Charger R/T offers up to 420 horsepower and substantial low-end torque from the Standard-Output version. Both gas models pair the twin-turbo engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. For drivers comparing the new Charger against past models, the big takeaway is that Dodge has moved beyond traditional displacement alone and focused on modern turbocharged output, flexibility, and traction management.

• Charger R/T: A strong entry into the gas-powered lineup with standard all-wheel drive, a Twin-Turbo SIXPACK engine, and balanced daily performance.
• Charger Scat Pack: A higher-output gas model with more horsepower, stronger torque, and performance-focused equipment.
• Charger Daytona Scat Pack: An all-electric performance model with instant torque, all-wheel drive, and impressive acceleration.
• Rear-wheel-drive capability: Gas R/T and Scat Pack models can send power to the rear wheels when the driver wants a more traditional muscle car experience.
• Performance drive modes: Sport, Wet/Snow, Custom, and available track-focused settings help tailor the Charger to different driving needs.

Performance features add another layer of excitement. The Scat Pack includes tools like Launch Control, while Line Lock is standard on the Scat Pack and available on the R/T through the Performance Handling Group. Daytona models bring features such as PowerShot for a temporary horsepower boost and specialized electric performance systems. These features are designed for controlled performance environments, but the technology also reflects the broader engineering focus of the 2027 Charger: give the driver more command over how the car responds.

Design: Classic Muscle, Modern Execution

The 2027 Dodge Charger keeps the wide, planted stance that shoppers expect from a muscle car. Its widebody proportions, bold lighting, and clean profile make it immediately recognizable, while new paint choices and available graphics give buyers more ways to personalize the look. Color options such as Sub-Zero, Purple Haze, Redeye, Green Machine, Bludicrous, White Knuckle, and Diamond Black help the Charger stand out without losing its core identity. Available stripe packages, satin or gloss black hood treatments, dark-finish wheels, and new caliper colors further support the Charger’s made-to-be-seen personality.

One of the most practical design updates is the rear hidden hatch. It blends into the Charger body for a clean appearance but opens wide and high for easier cargo access. Combined with flat-folding second-row seats, the Charger offers generous cargo flexibility for a performance car. This is an important detail for shoppers who love muscle car style but still need space for luggage, gear, groceries, or weekend essentials. The Charger may look aggressive, but it has been designed with real life in mind.

Two Doors or Four Doors

Another major advantage of the 2027 Charger is the availability of both two-door and four-door configurations across gas and electric models. The two-door version delivers a sleek coupe-like profile, while the four-door version gives drivers added convenience for passengers, family needs, or everyday usability. This flexibility keeps the Charger from being locked into one narrow category. It can be a personal performance coupe, a practical muscle sedan, or an electric performance vehicle depending on how it is configured.

For shoppers serving Pewaukee, Waukesha, and Milwaukee, that flexibility matters. Some drivers want a Charger for weekend excitement and personal enjoyment. Others need a performance vehicle that can still handle commutes, passengers, and cargo. The 2027 lineup gives both groups a clear path without asking shoppers to give up the attitude that makes a Charger feel special.

Interior Technology and Driver Control

Inside, the 2027 Dodge Charger has a driver-centric layout with technology placed where it is easy to see and use. A 12.3-inch Uconnect touchscreen display helps manage infotainment and vehicle settings, while a digital cluster display provides key driving information. An available Head-Up Display can help keep important details closer to the driver’s line of sight. Steering wheel controls allow quick access to drive modes, making the experience feel more immediate and connected.

The Charger also offers modern connectivity features such as wireless smartphone compatibility, available Performance Pages, available connected services, and dual smartphone support. Performance Pages are especially valuable for enthusiasts because key information like gauges, timers, G-force, and propulsion data can be monitored from the cabin. On select models with the available Track Package, the Drive eXperience Recorder adds a built-in forward-facing camera and performance playback capability, making it easier to review a drive or capture a memorable track session.

Comfort, Cargo, and Customization

Dodge has given the 2027 Charger a cabin that feels athletic without ignoring comfort. Available high-back performance seats, heated and ventilated front seating on select configurations, available Petrol Blue or Demonic Red seating accents, and available Attitude Adjustment Lighting help create a cabin with personality. The available 64-color lighting system can react to certain vehicle events, adding a more immersive feel when starting the car, opening the doors, or changing drive modes.

• Available Plus trims: Add more premium content for shoppers who want enhanced comfort and convenience.
• Blacktop Package: Adds dark exterior details and available Black Noise wheel designs for a more aggressive look.
• Track Package: Enhances select Daytona models with performance hardware and track-ready features.
• Performance Handling Group: Adds capability-focused upgrades for drivers who want sharper dynamics.
• Panoramic glass roof: Available on select trims for a more open cabin feel.

Safety and Driver Assistance

The 2027 Dodge Charger supports its performance with a strong set of safety and driver-assistance technologies. Standard and available features include Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection, Forward Collision Warning Plus, Active Driving Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, Drowsy Driver Detection, Side Distance Warning, and an available 360-degree Surround View Camera. These systems use cameras, radar, and ultrasonic sensors to help monitor the area around the vehicle and support driver awareness.

That balance of power and confidence is important. The Charger is built to be exciting, but modern safety technology helps make it easier to live with every day. Whether a driver is navigating traffic, backing out of a parking space, changing lanes, or settling into a longer drive, the available assistance features can add peace of mind without taking away from the engaging character of the car.
