Things are happening at Stellantis. Dodge is keeping both the big 6.2-liter V8 engine and sending the Charger to Europe.
The Dodge Charger will come to Europe with a gasoline engine in 2025. This is confirmed by Stellantis, who expects sales to begin at the end of the year.
This is what Carscoops writes.
Fans in Europe and the Middle East will thus have access to Dodge's full range of new Charger models.
While the Dodge Challenger name is being phased out and the iconic Hemi V8 engine is only sporadically kept alive in the larger Durango, an electric Charger is part of the brand's strategy, as is a version with a gasoline engine.
– The Dodge Charger will be sold in the Middle East from the second half of 2025. It will also be available through importers in Europe from the same period, says a Stellantis spokesperson.
It is still unclear which versions of the cars will come to Europe first. However, it has been confirmed that all four versions will eventually land in our latitudes.
These include both two- and four-door bodies and electric or internal combustion engines.
For those who prefer the latter, there's only one engine to go with. Namely the three-liter inline-six that Stellantis calls Hurricane. The most expensive model gets 550 horsepower and 746 Nm.
Unfortunately, it looks like Dodge owners in the Middle East and Europe can forget about manual transmissions. Both petrol cars are only expected to come here with an eight-speed automatic transmission from the otherwise crisis-hit ZF. Read more about it.
"We look forward to offering the Dodge Charger to new markets and meeting the demand for performance cars among enthusiasts in Europe and the Middle East," the spokesperson told the media outlet.
The Dodge Charger is expected to be available through a network of authorized importers, which will provide customers in Europe with easier access to the model.
In the even longer term, it will also open up the possibility of Doge taking more of the brand's model program to Europe. Whether Denmark is included in the American plans is not yet known. But Boosted is trying to get an answer.
