Red and black surfaces and graphics on screens make for a strong and muscle-emphasizing aesthetic in the Dodge Charger Daytona. The interior of this car is respectful of its late-1960s roots, while providing an acknowledgement of an electric future.
The designers and CMF specialists created an interior for the brand’s (and Stellantis North America’s) first-ever BEV. At the same time, they had to develop an interior that would appeal to the Charger faithfully, meaning more than a nod to the 1968 Dodge Charger.
The Demonic Red high-backed seat is trimmed with combination of suede and Nappa leather; it has a fixed headrest and adjustable thigh bolsters. The steering wheel is flattened at both the top and bottom, and behind there is one of the Charger Daytona’s two displays, a 16″ screen providing readouts on tire pressure, speed, available power, and much more.
Adjacent to it, and angled toward the driver, there’s a 12.3″ infotainment touchscreen running Uconnect 5 with onboard voice assistant and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The car has an 18-speaker Alpine Pro audio system featuring a 10″ subwoofer.
Dodge says the interior has ‘Attitude Adjustment’ interior lighting with 64 selectable colors of light across the instrument panel, and door trim inserts with a vertically striped motif are also illuminated so there is a 270° sweep of lighting across the front and the sides. Because there is an abundance of material wrapping (instrument panel, seats, shift boot…), there is plenty of stitching with red and white thread.
It is a coupé, but it is said to comfortably seat five, with 2,917 L of passenger volume. Getting into and out of the back seat is relatively easy.
