Bettenhausen CDJR of Lockport
Today’s Charger gives you a choice the old one never did: a twin-turbo SIXPACK inline-six that drinks gasoline, or the battery-electric Charger Daytona. Both share one bold body, offered as a two-door coupe or a four-door, and both put power down through all-wheel drive, which matters a lot more on 159th Street in February than it does on a magazine cover.
Look over the Chargers in stock above, then read on for how the trims differ, what the numbers mean and how a modern muscle car fits a Will County life. When you’re ready, our team at 16471 W. 159th St. will set up a drive.
The SIXPACK models use Stellantis’ 3.0L Hurricane inline-six with two turbochargers and an eight-speed automatic. The Standard Output version in the R/T makes 420 hp, and the High Output version in the Scat Pack makes 550 hp. Dodge’s newest gas model, the Super Bee, pushes that same engine to 600 hp, and Dodge calls it the quickest SIXPACK so far. Fill up anywhere, drive to Starved Rock and back, and never think about a plug.
The Charger Daytona Scat Pack puts an electric motor on each axle and, with a tap of PowerShot, delivers as much as 670 hp. The torque arrives instantly, which makes merging onto I-80 almost comical. Dodge’s Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust gives the EV a deep, synthesized sound so it doesn’t feel like an appliance. Dodge has trimmed the electric line to the Scat Pack versions, so earlier Daytona R/T cars will mostly show up as remaining or pre-owned inventory.
Every current Charger sends power to all four wheels. On SIXPACK cars you can switch to rear-wheel drive for a traditional feel on a dry summer evening, then flip back to AWD before the next lake-effect band rolls through. For daily driving through a Will County winter, pair that AWD with a set of dedicated winter tires; summer performance rubber and road salt are not friends.
The driver faces a fully digital instrument display and a 12.3-inch Uconnect screen, along with a flat-top heated steering wheel and a pistol-grip shifter. The hatchback-style rear opening and folding rear seats mean a Costco run or two carry-on bags for O’Hare are no problem. Choose the four-door if you’ll have kids, car seats or coworkers in the back. You can read more about the infotainment system on our Uconnect page.

Both. The SIXPACK models run on a twin-turbo inline-six, while the Charger Daytona is fully electric. They share the same body styles and cabin layout, so your choice comes down to how you want to fuel it.
No. The current Charger uses the Hurricane twin-turbo six or electric motors. If you want HEMI V8 sound in a Dodge car, look at a pre-owned Challenger or Charger in our used inventory, or a HEMI-powered Durango.
Yes. Current models have all-wheel drive, which helps a great deal on snowy side streets. Add winter tires and remote start, and a Charger can be a year-round car.
The two-door keeps the classic coupe profile, while the four-door makes rear-seat access much easier for kids and passengers. Powertrains and features line up across both, so sit in each before you decide.
Expect roughly 240 miles per charge from a Daytona Scat Pack, with wheel size and conditions moving that number. Cold weather cuts range, so plan on less in January. A home Level 2 charger makes daily ownership easy.
It’s Dodge’s newest SIXPACK, with a 600-hp version of the High Output inline-six and Launch Edition styling themes. Supply is limited, so call our sales team to check availability.
Yes. Leasing can suit drivers who like a new car every few years. Check current offers and incentives and talk with our finance team about terms and mileage.
Follow your owner’s manual and the in-car service reminders. Gas SIXPACK cars need regular oil changes, while the Daytona mostly needs tire rotations, brake checks and cabin filters. Book service online anytime.
