The 2024 Charger will be electric, but its platform allows the fitment of ICE engines if Dodge so wishes
and Challenger, theoretically delivering similar performance but using less gas in the process. And though the power figures are some way off the supercharged Hellcat’s 700+ hp , the Hurricane’s forged bottom end means there’s probably plenty more to come in future versions, and it has, of course, been designed to work as part of a hybrid package where needed.
But Dodge ultimately decided not to go to the trouble of re-engineering its existing Charger and Challenger to accommodate the Hurricane engines, or to engineer the next generation cars to take the six, at least at launch. Instead, it will kill off both the current Charger and Challenger, and their much loved V8s, next year.
“I’ve been very transparent… that our next cars are built on the STLA Large platform, the STLA Large is a multi-energy platform,” Kuniskis explained. “I can put an ICE engine in there. Doesn’t mean we’re going to. We’re certainly not launching with anything like that. We’re lunching with full battery electric and we think that by the time we get to that point the offering we’re going to have is going to be really attractive in the market place. If some day we wanted to add ICE to that car, could we? It’s totally [possible]. But we’ll maybe never get there.
Would you like to see Dodge drop the Hurricane into the 2024 Charger, and would you be more likely to buy one if it did? Leave a comment and let us know.
