Dodge seems desperate to get people into its electric Charger. It's just launched an enticing lease deal for the performance coupe. For $299 a month (plus tax and fees), you can get a 2024 Charger Daytona R/T for two years with a mileage cap of 7,500 miles per year. Considering this car has all-wheel drive and 496 horsepower, that's a tempting deal.
There are some caveats, of course. For starters, this lease deal is only available in the Northeast United States, from Maine to Virginia. Still, that covers major cities like Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Norfolk. The $299 deal also requires a sizable $4,579 down payment. And once you figure in taxes and fees, that payment will be a bit higher.
If you can afford a bit more, the Charger Daytona R/T Scat Pack can be had for $399 a month with $4,429 down. That's a 670-hp car that can reach 60 mph in 3.3 seconds, going for less than a new Ford Mustang EcoBoost. No, it doesn't have a Hemi. But this could be the performance-per-dollar deal of the year.
Unfortunately, things aren't as lucrative outside the Northeast. Depending on location, Charger Daytona R/T lease deals check in around $500. If you prefer a purchase, there's a nationwide deal good for $3,000 off and interest-free financing for six years. That's not bad either, considering the Charger Daytona is a brand-new model.
It's no secret that Dodge fans haven't been impressed with the Charger's electric makeover. For nearly 20 years the nameplate was tied to the Hemi V-8, after all. It'll be interesting to see how the combustion-powered Charger Sixpack is welcomed when it goes on sale this summer. With up to 540 hp from its twin-turbocharged inline-six, it'll be more powerful than all other gas Chargers, save for the Hellcat trims.
But it's a very tempting Elsewhere, Charger Daytona lease deals vary by location but are generally in the $400-$500 range. If you want to buy, there's a nationwide deal good for $3,000 off and zero-percent financing for
