All they got to do is make it a more aggressive and give it the double curved body lines on the side door panels that all Dodge Chargers have this car has no body line on the side it’s just smooth and too long it’s way too basic from the sides
I definitely like the cyberpunk styling, Needs to go further. Everyone else can have the soft aero 'eco' look, Dodge need to keep making cars for the bad guys or the anti-hero to drive.
It looks sharp, angular, blocky. Just like the Dodges that we used to have. The retro futurism style is phenomenal compared to the other EVs shown off (cough cough Honda/Tesla/Kia) that all look like blobs
The styling is very good, it looks like a mix of the late 1960s Charger and the modern Challenger. Honestly the original Banshee concept looks the best, it just needs a 392 V8. As for these newer production models, they'd look even better with 4 round headlights that can hideaway behind the grille, a variety of wheels, and I'd love to see wide body versions. For a base model to look this good is very rare, its a very good platform, lets just hope Dodge does the rational thing and gives us several V8 options. Edit - It also needs to have the double curved body lines on the door panels that all Chargers have.
@@HansBelphegor I'm mixed lol. I either want Hurricane (full gas or Hybrid) or the 440. I need my AWD. Hoping the EV infrastructure gets better, since I have no idea where some charging stations are.
I know lot of people are bashing on these pre-production photos but honestly this looks virtually identical to the concept and I am really excited to see what this is like as a production vehicle. Here's hoping they can actually make a compelling EV or at least a cool car.
@@ljmorris6496 So your 345 is a core? I wonder if the new motor would be "as is from a junk yard" then and do they make all the electronics work with the new motor? I'd like to convert my Grand Cherokee to an SRT! At that price making the conversion is no brainer. I wonder if there are companies that will sell you an extended warrantee package with something like that???
@@Mandolin1944 i believe it's the entire engine / electronics and transmission, rather it's a Ram based or SRT based 6.4 you have to talk to the shops about it...
@@24ecko I basically need the AWD. I want something like a Scat Pack but living in a state with a lot of rain and hills makes me need AWD. The Hurricane is definitely gonna be fun. Can't wait for it to be my 2nd car
@Jamracer08 Facts without a V8 engine in this new 2025 2door Dodge Charger car , it's die in the water already, because people want the V8 engine experience ,that's what this brand was built on too begin with 🤦♂️🤦♂️👎👎👎
@@erictate8986 Dodge's V8s were awesome but their 6 cylinders were great too and now that they have the hurricane engine which will probably perform better than the current V8s
Let's see what the new Administration in 2024 does for the American Auto Industry! Drill Baby Drill! Not so fast as we have been scammed by our government EV MANDATES! Stay tune as the ICE isn't going anywhere!
I hope they designed the engine bay where somebody in the future if they wanted to will be able swap out the V6 ICE with one of the old Hemi engines we loved so much.
So the inline 6 from Dodgeville crank out 540 horsepower and be 500 lb lighter than the previous car and that's not enough for you okay let's fiddle with the Boost to get another hundred to 145 horsepower out of it and then you have on all-wheel drive 10-second car would that be enough??
@ubeuonly for me yes that would be enough and I have no doubt a V6 can make just as much power or more but you will still have those people that whine and gripe about It needs that rumble of a V8 under the hood of this car and so on.
Just wanted you to know I always enjoy watching your show, I have been watching and have been subscribed since the very beginning. You always have great content congratulations on your success.. on the channel. 💪💥🔥🏁🏁🏁
"The only issue with the newest Dodge Charger would be the rotors, calipers, and brakes. If you observe closely, the rotors are solid. I hate it when they install solid rotors on a car model as beautiful as this one, which is supposed to reach certain speeds. It's like, okay, why not use the drilled and slotted rotors, which are much better?"
I bet the actual delivered models will look great. Expect plenty of tweaks to the preproduction mule. I remember my disappointment when looking at concept & mule pictures back in 2013 of the upcoming new generation 2015 Mustang, only to completely change my mind when seeing in person for the first time an actual production model.
I have concerns if Dodge chooses to release the EV version first or only. EV sales are only 7 percent of new car buyers. That's an extremely low pool of buyers to from. Additionally it's obvious the majority of their current buyers would not be interested.
Rear end looks like the 2011-14 Chargers, which looked like the ‘69/70’s. I had a 2013 and loved the look!!!! Hated they rounded it in 2015. This model can keep this 68-70 front end look with the Hurricane engine. Just give it a flat hood and get rid of the front spoiler. Car does not look half bad.
If Dodge decides to go EV only for the Charger, they'll be eliminating a huge segment of potential buyers. Not everyone has their own home where they can have the Charging unit installed. So if you live in an Apartment Building or Condo, you're not likely to be able to purchase or lease a new Charger. That would be a very unwise direction to go. Great video and information. 👍
All they got to do is make it a more aggressive and give it the double curved body lines on the side door panels. That all Dodge Chargers have this car has no body lines on the side. The side panels look smooth, simple and long it’s just way too basic from the sides.
@@nicksgamingchannel I'm sure you're going to buy one. You'll get a good deal because they'll be sitting on the lots like the Hornet. And that's not stupid. It's the truth.
@@JCVACCARO You mean morons who refuse to buy it because it has a straight 6 instead of a V8 hemi (as much as I love the hemi, the hurricane engines are just straight up better in Hp/torque values), typical uninformed moronic car buyers and degenerates who steal the Chargers/Challengers like crazy won't want this car? Sounds like a good thing to me!
Overall I like the body style. I just can't get into the EV or straight 6 power plant. It's not about the speed at all. It's the fun factor for me. So I don't see myself buying anymore new cars. If I buy a 6 cylinder I will buy BMW and Porsche. Thanks for the content.
Personally, I am a fan of the look. If it is reasonably priced, not holding my breath on that one, it will be on my short list of possibilities as I will be in the market for a new car when it releases.
Maybe retro will sell, but will the younger buyers want a new Charger from what I'm seeing looks like a 1969 - 70 versions minus a V8. During that time period. Many large cars sold including Ford and Chevrolet models came un both 4 door sedans and 2 door coupes. I purchased a new 2018 Chrysler 300C 5.7 because it offered a Hemi for performance and 4 doors to car family, etc.. I think Dodge will likely over both a coupe and sedan Charger. As I mentioned earlier. The new Charger reminds me of the 69-70 versions. One area that I personally think needs changes is the front grill. Looking at the photos of the grill & headlight area and comparing it to the EV prototype with hidden headlights. IMO. It looks to small for the large front end of the new Charger because of the attached headlights.
It is a pre production model so it does not all the finishing touches are on the vehicle. I've been around Mopars all my life and each and every time there is a new model, they all pitch a fit saying this or that, and it ends up being a hit !!! I am wondering if the Charger will be the ICE Version and the Daytona the EV. I am still up on the fence about electrification of automobiles in general but I do go in with open arms and see where this all leads....
I agree, hybrid, hemi, and then the Srt tti6 would be the top dog. Stellantis would be foolish not to take advantage of this car. There would be something for everyone
Don't get me wrong, a turbo I6 isn't a bad engine. Its just not for a muscle car. Supra, Skyline, or BMW yes. Challenger or Charger, not so much. The slant 6 was reliable but that's all it really had going for it
Not sure what to expetct of the quality or reliability of Fiat/Stellantis of EV propulsion let alone their tech to manage the systems. Ford recalled all their EV's & my Hummer EV has had 1/2 dozen recalls & a completely new battery pack installed & they only made 800 total in 2022 & 2023 combined. Fiat might torch alot of garages among other things in that respects I guess this will be one HOT product!
DO we want a hemi YES! do we want manual ( HEL YES) BUT in a SUV EV World This is HOT!!! bring it on. The more they sell the better. This thing is hot AF and its a coupe I hope it sells like hot cakes even as a ford man BRING IT down under SO us aussies can enjoy it :D
I'm still trying to figure out why all these web site keep calling the new charger a challenger. I just read a article from slash gear they keep calling it a challenger through out the article. Are people that desperate for a challenger?
What do I think? I think I'll be keeping and enjoying my 2023 Sinamon Stick Charger GT PLUS at least until the gas version comes out. Then wait a year and check out tests and reviews, plus acceleration stats before I even think about buying another new Charger.
The fuel filler door is just obscene on the side of the car. Putting a filler cap on top of the quarter like the original second gen Charger would serve a double purpose; Bring back even more of the original styling, and keep the quarter panel from looking like a 3rd grader designed it. I don't know that the proportions between the roof line and the tops of the doors and fenders are right. I would have to see it in person. I bought a 1968 Charger in 1982. I am incredibly familiar with these cars. This new gen appears about as similar to the original as the 1993 Mustang did to the 60's Mustang when it came out. Strong hints, but not really a modern redesign of the original. It would be nice if they combined this with the 1999 concept Charger.
You know, despite the flak being given to this particular Charger for not having a Hemi V8, it begs me to wonder what it'll be if Dodge themselves would make a next gen Charger Enforcer PPV
Pretty sure the French are just slowly shutting down the brand. There is really no reason to keep dodge around, except for the truck and jeep production. It's sad, but having dealt with the French over the years they have no understanding of the U. S market.
I heard they were giving the charger and challenger the axe. as in no more. I don't think this concept will get much farther than the ramcharger 2 door suv concept. but if it does make it to production, I could see them bringing back the coronet name on this. atleast that's what the fratzog reminds me of. and I don't think that new hurricane 6 is going to be all it's hyped up to be. loyal ram truck owners are saying they'd rather have a v8 to tow with than a six cylinder. and if they want to do it right, they need to tip that new over just a little for better hood clearance. like the old ones.
The concept to me looked way different like whole different body lines to me this just looks like a current changer with a face lift or am i wrong?? And whats the new tail lights
