2027 Dodge Charger Sixpack vs Daytona Scat Pack: Which Should You Choose?
The 2027 Dodge Charger Sixpack delivers 550 hp on premium gas, while the Daytona Scat Pack delivers 670 hp on electrons with 267 miles of range. The Sixpack runs the quarter-mile in 12.2 seconds; the Daytona cuts that to 11.5 seconds with a 3.3-second 0-60 sprint. This page breaks down every meaningful difference so you can match the right Charger to your driving life and browse current inventory at Johnsons of Kingfisher.
Feature Overview: Two Very Different Performance Philosophies
The 2027 Dodge Charger lineup offers genuine multi-energy choice, and the gap between the Sixpack and the Daytona Scat Pack is not cosmetic. These two powertrains represent distinct performance philosophies wrapped in the same widebody shell.
The Sixpack Scat Pack is built around a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six, the Hurricane High Output engine. It produces 550 hp and 531 lb-ft of torque delivered through an 8-speed automatic, with standard AWD and a switchable 100% RWD mode. It runs on premium gasoline, fills up in under five minutes, and behaves like a traditional high-performance muscle car in every daily ritual, including a dual-mode active exhaust note that the Daytona replicates synthetically.
The Daytona Scat Pack is an all-electric dual-motor machine producing 630 hp in standard mode and 670 hp when PowerShot is activated. That extra 40 hp is available for 10 seconds on demand, a tool designed for the exact moment you need it most. The Daytona carries a 100.5 kWh battery, returns up to 267 miles of EPA range, and charges at up to 183 kW on a DC fast charger. New for 2027, it ships with a NACS charging port, giving direct access to more than 29,000 Tesla Supercharger stations without an adapter.
Both share the same 206.6-inch body, the same five-passenger seating, the same standard AWD architecture, and the same 12.3-inch Uconnect touchscreen. The differences that matter live under the hood and in how each car fits your routine.

How It Works: Turbo Torque vs Instant Electric Thrust
Understanding the character difference between these two powertrains requires a look at how each one delivers its power.
Sixpack Scat Pack Power Delivery
The Hurricane H.O. engine uses twin 54mm Garrett GT2054 turbos spinning to 185,000 rpm and building up to 30 psi of boost. Peak torque of 531 lb-ft arrives at 3,500 rpm and stays above 90% of that figure all the way through 6,000 rpm.
That broad torque band means the engine pulls with real urgency from low speeds and keeps accelerating aggressively toward its 177-mph top speed. The 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds and 12.2-second quarter-mile are achieved on pavement anywhere you can find it. Launch Control and Line Lock are standard on the Scat Pack.
Daytona Scat Pack Power Delivery
Electric motors deliver maximum torque from zero rpm. The Daytona's 627 lb-ft of torque hits immediately at launch, which is the primary reason it reaches 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 11.5 seconds.
PowerShot adds a 10-second burst of 40 additional hp, useful in a passing or drag-strip scenario. The Daytona also includes Drift and Donut Mode, standard Drag Mode, and a Track Mode not available on the Sixpack Scat Pack. The Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust generates a synthesized performance sound so the cabin is not silent during spirited driving.
For charging, the Daytona accepts up to 183 kW at a 350 kW EVSE station, reaching 5-80% charge in approximately 32.5 minutes. Level 2 charging at 11 kW covers 5-80% in about 6.8 hours, making overnight home charging practical.

Across the Trims: Where Each Powertrain Fits in the Lineup
The 2027 Charger lineup includes gasoline-powered Sixpack models and the all-electric Daytona Scat Pack. The Super Bee Launch Edition sits above the standard Sixpack Scat Pack with a 600-hp version of the Hurricane H.O. engine.
Charger Sixpack R/T
The entry Sixpack uses the standard-output Hurricane engine at 420 hp and 468 lb-ft of torque. It reaches 60 mph in 4.6 seconds and covers the quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds.
Standard AWD and on-demand RWD mode are included. This is the entry point to the gasoline-powered Charger lineup.
Charger Sixpack Scat Pack

At 550 hp, it is the most powerful standard-production Hurricane engine in the Charger lineup. Standard features include Line Lock, Launch Control, Brembo six-piston front calipers, dual-mode active exhaust, and performance suspension.
The Scat Pack Plus adds the 16-inch digital cluster, head-up display, 360-degree surround view camera, wireless charging, heated and ventilated seats, and navigation.

Real-World Benefit: Matching the Charger to Your Life
The right choice depends on three practical questions: where you charge or fuel, how often you drive longer distances, and which kind of performance experience you prefer.
Choose the Sixpack Scat Pack If:
- You want the traditional muscle car experience, including a real exhaust note, gas-station convenience, and no charging stops on long Oklahoma highway runs.
- You regularly take trips of 300 miles or more and do not want to plan around charging infrastructure.
- You want access to the Super Bee Launch Edition and its 600-hp track-focused package.
- High-speed capability matters to you. The Scat Pack reaches 177 mph, while the Daytona tops out at 135 mph.
- You want the option of a four-door body style for additional rear-seat practicality. Both Sixpack trims offer two-door and four-door configurations.
Choose the Daytona Scat Pack If:
- You have home charging or convenient access to the Tesla Supercharger network. The NACS port simplifies public fast charging.
- You want the fastest Charger off the line. The Daytona reaches 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and covers the quarter-mile in 11.5 seconds.
- Most of your driving takes place in the city or on predictable daily routes within its 267-mile range.
- You want more technology included as standard equipment. The Daytona Scat Pack includes the 16-inch cluster, head-up display, navigation, Amazon Alexa, and additional performance technology.
- You want Drift and Donut Mode, Drag Mode, and Track Mode available together from the factory.
Cargo and Passenger Space
Cargo and passenger space is consistent between the two performance platforms. Both carry five people and deliver 22.8 cu ft of cargo behind the rear seats, expanding to 37.4 cu ft with the seats folded. That represents 38% more cargo capacity than the previous Charger generation.
Safety Technology
Safety technology is also consistent across the lineup. Every 2027 Charger carries forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, lane departure steering assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and driver attention monitoring as standard equipment.
How It Compares: Charger vs the Muscle Car Segment
No production muscle car from another brand currently offers the same combination of gasoline and battery-electric performance choices within one Charger body family.
The Sixpack Scat Pack's 550 hp exceeds the previous 6.4L HEMI Scat Pack by 65 hp, while the Hurricane engine reaches an output density of 200 hp per liter in Super Bee form.
The all-electric Daytona Scat Pack occupies a different position. It combines more than 600 hp, AWD, Drift Mode, and two-door muscle-car proportions in an EV platform.
What the Charger delivers regardless of powertrain choice is a two-door or four-door muscle-car body, standard AWD, and performance-focused drive modes tailored to each powertrain.
The 2027 Charger lineup was named 2026 North American Car of the Year, Detroit Free Press Car of the Year, and MotorWeave Drivers' Choice Best Sport Coupe.
