Dodge is touting the capabilities of its all-electric Charger Daytona, including in winter driving.

The automaker posted a video showcasing some of the car’s capabilities, including doing doughnuts in the snow.

The video was posted on YouTube, which you can see below.

“The all-new Dodge Charger is truly the world’s only all-wheel-drive muscle car,” said Dodge CEO Matt McAlear in a news release. “The Dodge Charger lineup will deliver multi-energy powertrain options and, no matter what model customers choose, all-wheel-drive capability is standard, which is an opportunity for both the Dodge brand and for our customers who live in colder climates. Two-door or four-door, battery-electric or gas-powered, the next-gen Charger Daytona is a muscle car engineered to master the street, drag strip and the racetrack, as well as treacherous weather conditions, including the cold, ice and snow.”

The Charger Daytona is currently available in two versions. There’s the R/T model with 496 hp and the Scat Pack model with 670 hp – both of which are fully electric two-door cars.

The four-door Charger Daytona is expected to be available in the first half of 2025, while the gas-powered Charger SIXPACK is expected to be available in the second half of 2025. The gas-powered models will also feature all-wheel drive.

As for the car’s winter capabilities, the automaker said the Charger lineup includes the following features:

• Wet/Snow Mode: Standard on every next-gen Charger model, Wet/Snow Mode helps provide the most amount of traction and stability in harsh conditions, using traction control, electronic stability control, regenerative braking and torque bias logic between the front and rear electric drive modules.
• Mechanical Limited Slip Differential: Also standard on the new Charger, the mechanical limited slip differential on the rear axle helps to maximize traction in wintry conditions; when torque is applied from the rear electric drive module, the limited slip differential guarantees power is provided to both rear wheels, whereas a traditional open differential will simply allow a slipping wheel to continue to slip.
• Drift/Donut Mode: Delivering capability and fun in both the sun and snow, Drift/Donut Mode allows the Charger’s propulsion system to switch into rear-wheel drive, with Electronic Stability Control full off and varying amounts of traction control intervention, for the ability to enjoy old-school fun while performing drifting and doughnut maneuvers.
