In this Hagerty article, a guy negotiates a great 2-year (12K mile) lease for a Charger EV. The MSRP was $78,000 ($59,995 base). He got 13% off the $80K sticker price, with $18,500 worth of incentives. His payment was $302 a month. Would you be tempted?

The Charger won the 2026 North American Car of the Year Award at the Detroit Auto Show.

 

The following excerpt appeared in Motorious.com:

"Dodge appears open to bringing V8 power back to the Charger lineup, but only under narrow and expensive conditions. According to company leadership, the economics of today’s performance car market leave little room for anything short of a top-tier Hellcat variant, effectively ruling out a return of the traditional 5.7-liter Hemi in the modern Charger.

The challenge, Dodge says, is not whether a V8 can physically fit in the current platform, but whether it makes financial sense. Engineering, certification, and production costs add up quickly, particularly for powertrains expected to sell in limited numbers. In that environment, a lower-output V8 aimed primarily at nostalgia does not offer enough return to justify the investment. Instead, Dodge views a high-output, high-price configuration as the only realistic option."
