Will the 2024 Charger have a gas engine?
Yes. The 2024 Dodge Charger continues to rely on gasoline-powered engines, and there is no all-electric Charger offered in the 2024 model year. The lineup features multiple petrol powertrains, from a V6 to several V8 options for high-performance variants.
The Charger remains a cornerstone of Dodge’s muscle-car lineup, built around internal-combustion propulsion in its 2024 iteration. Below, we explain the engine options available for 2024, and place them in the context of the brand’s broader electrification plans.
Gasoline powertrains offered in the 2024 Charger
The 2024 Charger lineup sticks with traditional gasoline engines, spanning everyday efficiency to high-performance horsepower. Here are the primary gasoline options available for 2024:
- 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 (base option with standard rear-wheel drive and optional all-wheel drive).
- 5.7-liter Hemi V8 (the classic V8 option found in R/T trims).
- 6.4-liter Hemi V8 (Scat Pack variant aimed at higher performance and track-ready capability).
- 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8 (Hellcat variant, offering the top-end performance in the lineup).
- 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8 (Redeye variants, delivering enhanced tuning and higher horsepower).
Availability of specific engines can vary by trim level and market, so buyers should check with a local dealer for current configurations and options in their area.
Electrification context and future plans
Looking ahead from 2024, Dodge has signaled a broader shift toward electrification across its lineup, including plans for electric or hybrid propulsion in future models. However, for the 2024 Charger, the lineup remained gasoline-powered, with no factory BEV or plug-in hybrid variant announced for that model year. The brand’s broader strategy envisions electrification as part of its long-term roadmap, but the 2024 Charger itself did not include an electric option.
Summary
In short, the 2024 Charger stays gasoline-powered across its trims, offering a spectrum of petrol engines from a V6 to multiple V8 configurations, including supercharged variants for performance-minded buyers. There was no electric Charger in the 2024 model year, though Dodge’s longer-term plans emphasize electrification across its lineup. For those seeking a future EV, interest remains in upcoming Dodge projects beyond the 2024 Charger.
