When you don't work for the manufacturer then you don't know right, there is an ICE model too not all of them are Electric, if you wanted to race on a drag strip I highly suggest you look up the specs on the top end Electric, plus there is plans on a ICE, Electric combo.
This is getting annoying. Why does a sedan need to weigh more than my '98 Silverado...a 4x4 5.7 V8 full-size metal pickup truck? CAFE standards are getting out of hand, ironically cars are getting heavier for "safety standards" yet I'm quite concerned about the physics of all that. Not a physicist...but if two vehicles collide usually the heavier one will be safer at the expense of the lighter vehicle. I love my truck but I'm afraid I may need to upgrade to something much heavier than I'd like just to keep my family safe from lukewarm IQ drivers in 6000lb+ death traps.
@@user-pn3im5sm7kall the weight is on the bottom of the car. That makes them safer. They handle well. They’re almost impossible to roll over and your truck would go right over the heavy part and just hit crumple zones.
@@craigcampbell1843 Makes sense. Though I imagine the height of that Charger is quite tall. Not pre-90s size. My truck is 100% stock. I own a C4 corvette too, I've seen a video of a Ford explorer running over it in an accident. Exactly why I only drive that thing on less busy days
Someone start working on a hack to play custom sounds from the rear speaker. Old jalopy exhaust note, maybe some Rick Astley, rubber chicken sounds, so many great possibilities!
My great-grand father never understood motor cars. Born in the 60's, the 1860s, he kept a horse and carriage until the day he died in the late 1940's. On the other side of the family, my grandfather drove his entire family out from Colorado to Washington in a Model A Ford. He had to plan the route carefully to stop for fuel but they made it . . . in 1928. What am I saying? What goes around comes around. You have to adapt to the new . . . dwelling on the old days doesn't change the present. For good or ill, things have changed since I was a little guy in the 60s and my step-dad drove the kids around in the back of the pickup. I don't necessarily like many of the changes, but I am adapting.
That's ok. And i really like EVs for the city: no noise, torque, readiness, etc. But when I ask for fun and passion, ICE is a must. That's why some people prefers mechanical watches, stylo pens, vynil and so on. As long as we can decide. And we should.
@@donatellodiclemente7527 I believe that a combination of the two is better. Hybrid vehicles have been abound for years and now the new hybrids improve mileage AND boost the acceleration. Hard to beat that combo. And, IMO, hybrid batteries are a better use of the resources.
@tahwseodti Not from 2014-2020. The last batch of AWD V8 Chargers were the Police Pursuit ones, not the regular civilian models, which was 2020. The V6 AWD continued for both civilians and police to 2023. The last AWD V8 civilian Chargers were the 2014 R/T's.
Its a V6. I never liked the base models of these cars. The supercharged V8 is just a dumb ass car I have no valid reason to buy but I REALLY want it. Its hard now days to find a car that serves no practical purpose other then its just fun as hell. That is what we are losing.@@NYSPORTS2883
This right here. I’ve driven many V6 Chargers and Challengers as well as V8 variants. I can confidently say these cars suck without a V8 because you don’t have a V8 to distract you from owning an otherwise average car.
@@bigred7063 Yeah I’m glad I don’t have that mindset because I have a garage full of engines but it doesn’t stop me from loving what electric cars have become and what they are capable of.
Looks great like a 69' Charger in either 2 or 4 door and you can still get a gas powered model (next year) if you don't want to play with a oversize radio controlled car!
Same here! Looks like you will be able to track and remotely shut down the car with your phone like Teslas and other electric cars making that a thing of the past.
@@DaRevrinThat’s what I was just saying to some boomers who hate screens! This designs embraced the screens and the retrofuturistic design while the Mustang just looks tacked on
Huge 420 hp, AWD hatchback. Great touring car! Folded back seats, foam pad, pillows and sleeping bags. Perfect shaggin wagon, road trippin car for two. I'm a retiring soon and I'm seriously considering buying one.
Love what they've shown so far, can't wait to see the Banshee. The weight isn't surprising...Electric cars are actually quite heavy because of the batteries.
Same. I have a 22 scatpack widebody now and I love it. I was sad I won't be able to get a new hellcat, but depending on what the banshee is like that might be my next car. The ev scatpack has 670 hp with a 3.3 0 to 60 so I can only imagine the banshee.
Andre was on point when he said “Please don’t say Prius.” I literally thought the same thing. Don’t compare this to a Prius because this is already a tragedy for MOPAR fans.
Love the design. Love that Dodge had the balls that nobody else really does in todays market by making a LARGR/FULL SIZE 2 door coupe. Cars like that used to be everywhere until all cars basically became 4 doors. I dont like the EV aspect. Im super glad to hear than a gasoline powered I6 Hurricane engined Charger is coming. Thats the one id buy no doubt. I love Dodge and the Charger but id never own an EV and an EV Dodge Charger just doesnt sit right with me...ive always been a fan of Ralph Gilles' designs, glad to see he hasnt lost his touch. His cars are some of the best looking out there, going all the way back to the '05 300/Magnum and '06 Charger.
I really like it actually, good on them for making them fastback, that's the way to help keep sedans/coupes relevant. Also, make the dumb fratzonic thing optional please.
@@casualgamer1209 Yeah I just don't want to have to pay for something physical in the car like that that I'll never use lol. I understand why they did it though.
Back in Dec 1967 I special ordered a fully loaded 68 Charger RT.and stll I still love it. So I'm still an ICE dude. However, I'm excited about these new Daytona's an the big " Banchi " spell check..?
People whine about the 'synthetic' engine sound, but the same can be said about combustion cars. You can basically make a V8 sound like a prius if you really wanted to. It can either be super cool or lame depending on the execution. In my R1T there is a very noticeable electric motor noise thats pretty cool. Might be neat hearing this amped up.
For me you have good sound, and also just stupide loude exhaust, I prefere a car that has a good exhaust note, instead of an annoying loud thing, where can't here you talk.
That 2 door is gorgeous!! I love the body lines and the over all look! They had me until they made it electric. Give me the hemi and that body, winner!!
They will have the inline 6 option next year, but a muscle car needs 8 cylinders and the sound! The sound and vibration of the engine just asking for the pedal to meet the carpet! It's all just feels like the 80s and 6 cylinder cars. Only plus is v6 motors making 300+ hp.
I’m really excited for the 6 cylinder engine models to be released! It surely won’t be a v8, but i would much rather be driving One of those than their ev concept cars
I know I'm going to be hated on in replies, but I actually like the Daytonas/EVs. the passive radiators sound like a neat way to replace an exhaust with something just a loud, and if 800V is on ore than just Banshee, I guess it will be far more popular than the 400V models because of more power, faster charging, etc. Plus, it still gets (hopefully for the price) good range at around 300 miles on R/T. Can't wait to see more, this is the only chance to keep the Brotherhood happy, but I'm an EV person, so I'm already overjoyed that theres an 800V platform (but upset we are getting 400V as bade for some reason)
Samsung modular batteries of nmc type already shared. 100.5kwh gross 93ish kwhs useable capacity so matches model s&x. Mpge can be calculated off of that and the stated 260mile scat pack range vs Daytona r1t 317 mile range=terrible range is the result. 😀👍🏻 And just 183kw dc fast charging for a 2025 model year ev when tesla has offered 250+kws since summer of 2019 now on 400vs. Also the weight man is hilarous within 200# of a base model awd dual motor super cab Ford lightning truck. 😂
@@calebpittman7444 yes and matches up nicely to the now dead gas guzzler hemis as kuniskis already correctly pointed out! In fact he even said his own hellcat rarely ever gets 200 miles on a tank. I know my last 2002 c5 vette never got close to rated mpg. 😂👍🏻
@@4literv6I don’t think it’s gonna be as efficient as the Tesla model S. Battery capacity isn’t reflective of the range. Efficiency makes a huge difference, and Tesla is the the best in that field.
Any company that thinks making a really loud car specifically for the people who are not in the car should be subject to a TikTok challenge where their tires are slashed. This, of course, goes for gas as well.
I'm pretty shocked at how many options they have on this thing! AWD on a straight 6 with 4-doors and the classic coke-bottle style, I'm game! That thing will be mine! I have an 11-14 AWD and this thing looks like a worthy successor to me.
It looks awesome! Glad to see the muscle car is not dead, but the fake exhaust sound is kind of absurd. They should offer a V8 hybrid combustion engine for people that want the real thing.
Glad to see I won't have to settle for a slow, expensive, unreliable ICE motor. The hatchback and four doors and big interior space make it a Model S competitor for utility and hopefully speed. Would love to see a wagon/Magnum version!
Pretty much what I want. I always will want all electric now after having one, currently an Ioniq 5, but I like the idea of having a 4-door muscle car type vehicle. No one else is doing that right now.
people who complain about the SIX PACK forget the M4 compitition exists. Another 3.0L twin turbo AWD car 😂. One of the most highly rated drivers cars. So yes they can be good enough
I just checked out someone's video from a year ago to hear the sound they had for the electric Charger at the time. I like from your video that I see I could fit a set of golf clubs plus more in the back. I have a rental electric car currently while my car is getting repaired, and I've enjoyed the experience, so my next car may be a Dodge Charger Electric car... (when repairs or gas gets too pricey on my current car)
Thank you! first video I've seen that tried the back seat! The main reason i have a dodge charger is for the 4 door, if i want 2 door i would have gotten the challenger
This is the pinnacle of muscle car im excited to see it in the fast and furious movie electric cars way better than combustion interms of every way like performance efficiency and cost cutting in maintenenance
@@thedopplereffect00Same for HEVs and PHEVs at low speeds, usually it's a droning sound, but they can make it cool. Fratzonic would probably me EXTREMELY effective. nice to see its toggleable though.
No. The coupe and sedan both have the same exact dimensions. Rounded to the nearest inch, they are 207" L x 80" W x 59" H. It's much like the 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix, where it was offered as a coupe and sedan, but both styles were the same size. L x W x H to nearest inch: 197" x 73" x 55", and 110.5" wheelbase.
I like the interior and I like the styling. I’m SOOO glad they didn’t try to name it a challenger. It makes me wonder why they didn’t go with the barracuda name though.
While the V8 isn’t easy to offer due to tighter EPA regulations and insufficient electric models for an offset, at least the drivetrain and trunk can be changed right away. Nobody wants AWD in such a performance sedan and the majority of buyers of the previous Charger and Challenger chose RWD which proved AWD’s unpopularity and yet the new Charger is AWD-only. Furthermore, the new Chevy Trax is now offered only in FWD despite being an SUV and it’s due to most buyers choosing that on its predecessor. So Dodge should’ve done the same thing to the Charger and make it RWD-only. This is because the low demand for AWD may outweigh the cost of offering both. Finally, even the trunk is being criticized for being a tailgate and not a fixed window and a traditional trunk like on a true sedan, most likely due to the previous Charger being a true sedan. If Dodge doesn’t listen, they’ll definitely go bankrupt, not to mention the fact that they’re still continuing to produce the Hornet despite it piling up at dealer lots.
I think the look cool, and very futuristic. But I still rather have a V8 if I were to buy a Charger or Challenger, so if it were my money, I’d buy a slightly older one to get a V8. I’m not ready for an electric vehicle yet. But this new one looks pretty cool.
Hemi needs to stay the numbers don’t make any sense because we just don’t know the long term reliability and performance. This look should have been the car that was reintroduced some 20 yrs ago!
Just wait for the I6, it’ll be lighter and have more range. This thing should require a special government permit considering it’s an absolute tank at 5900 pounds for a “sports car”
Electric, and muscle car are two words that should have NEVER been used together. These cars are a slap in the face to every Gearhead who loves the sound and smells of a V8 engine. These are just heartless ,glamorized golf carts that will be a 70,000.00 disposable car that the replacement battery will cost more than these cars will be worth when that time comes.. Shame on you Stelantis for killing the Hemi.
Why is everyone so worried about that lol they go basically just as far as a regular gas car and you can just charge at the many thousands of DC stations. But most people never need to use that since most people aren't roadtripping every day. You plug in when you get home and you always have a full battery in the morning.
So 30 years from now do you think you gonna drive a gas car get real … not saying you won’t own a gas car but electric is happening if we want it or not
Is it just me or the 4-door sedan is a bit stretched/longer than the 2-door? I don't seem to find any reviewer regarding this, so I hope they are the same size...
