The cockpit features a dynamic instrument panel and console, with a free-standing 10.25-inch or 16-inch cluster screen and a 12.3-inch center display. The Attitude Adjustment interior lighting system with 64 colors adds a touch of personalization, reacting to vehicle events and driver inputs.
In addition to these features, the Track Package offers a Drive Experience Recorder (DxR). The DxR synchronizes audio, video and vehicle data to capture the full driving experience. It includes the following features:
- Dashcam function for manual or automatic recording control

- Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking with Vulnerable Road Users Detection
- Active Lane Management
- Active Driving Assist
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go
- Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross Path Detection

Optional safety and security features include:

- 360 Surround View Camera: Vehicle uses front, side and rear cameras to provide a bird’s-eye view around the vehicle

Racing Mode Options
The Charger offers new modes for exploring muscle car performance, including Donut and Drift Modes exclusive to the Daytona Scat Pack.
Donut Mode allows the vehicle to spin only the rear wheels and rotate around either of the front wheels without traction control intervention.
Drift Mode enables the driver to select three levels of slip angle, with torque biased towards the rear axle. The front dampers become soft and the rear dampers become stiff, creating an oversteer condition. The traction control system allows for different wheel speed differentials without fault codes.
Line Lock gives the driver the ability to lock the front wheels, remove torque from the front axle, and spin the rear tires to clean and warm them up before a launch event.
Launch Control provides optimal straight-line acceleration from a stationary start, with five selectable levels of launch intensity.
Race Prep introduces Dodge-exclusive methods for race preparation, catering to both drag racing and track racing.
Performance Pages, like in other recent Dodge performance vehicles, offer key performance metrics such as timers, gauges, g-force and propulsion system information.
Charging Capabilities
The all-electric 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona’s arrival aligns with Stellantis’ Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan, aiming to reduce the global carbon footprint and achieve net carbon zero by 2038.
The Charger Daytona R/T is expected to provide over 317 miles of range, while the Daytona Scat Pack offers 260 miles of all-electric range. Charging options include Level 2 wall-charging units and public charging credits through Free2move Charge.
