2018 Dodge Charger Daytona 392 | Hemi-Powered Drag Racing Daily Driver | Edmunds

- The 2018 Dodge Charger is for drivers who want a car that stands out with a powerful engine and exterior styling and comes in a rainbow of colors such as Go Mango, Destroyer Grey and White Knuckle. It's not exactly a sensible ride, but it is a practical one. Four doors, plenty of passenger room, and all the common safety features make it usable for family- or friend-hauling. Dodge offers a wide variety of performance and appearance options, and the Uconnect tech interface is an Edmunds favorite. Since Chevrolet discontinued its SS sedan for 2018, and Ford has yet to make a Mustang with four doors, the Charger is almost a car without a peer. Except, maybe, the Kia Stinger? Watch the video and see if you agree. Edmunds picked the 2018 Dodge Charger V6 as one of our Best AWD Sedans, and the 2018 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat as one of the Best Sport Sedans for this year. Where does the Daytona 392 fit in?
Q: Is the 2018 Dodge Charger Daytona 392 supercharged?
A: No, the 2018 Dodge Charger Daytona 392 uses the top-of-the-line 6.4-liter Hemi, before you move into the territory of the supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat engine.
Q: What is the difference between the 2018 Dodge Charger Daytona 392 and the 2018 Dodge Charger Scat Pack?
A: The Daytona 392 package is mostly cosmetically different from the Scat Pack, with Daytona-specific graphics, Daytona-logo leather seats, and other upgraded interior pieces. Horsepower is the same at 475 horsepower and 485 pound-feet of torque, but the Daytona has larger brakes and a better suspension. It's basically a combination of the 5.7-liter Daytona and the R/T Scat Pack.
Q: Can you get a 2018 Dodge Charger with a manual transmission?
A: No. Although the Dodge Challenger is available with a six-speed manual, Charger's transmission is the Torqueflite eight-speed automatic.

I like this chick. She’s well versed. Very descriptive. She’s an actual auto enthusiast, not someone trying convince you they like cars.
Steven D I agree. She used to run Roadkill magazine, which I never ready. Kind of wish I would have.
She is a true gearhead who knows her shit.
well she does have big tits too
lol and the million dollar comment drops
and she starts to giggle when she floors it ... grade a waifu material! 👍
I like this lady, Edmund's is what motor trend use to be, a joy to watch and informative. "Not going to line up against a demon. Lining up with a demon now, going to try to beat him." 😁😁😁😁😁
Love Elana, definitely MotorTrend's Loss and a win for Edmunds
Agreed!!!!!
Compared to all the other guys, This was best car review I’ve seen in years. Kudos
Cool review. Her line "heh, heh, heh, awww Hemi..." pretty much said it all.
OMG!!! Her laugh is so infectious! I love it! 👍👍🚙❤️❤️
i love the seatbelt it shows the real big and heavy bumper..lol
Rude Rigo don’t think u need to point that out.
I was gonna say bring Carlos back because everyone else is boring but each time I watch a review with this presenter I'm like wow she really knows her stuff and very relaxed while doing it. Great review and you've a new fan
Because she has a Dodge baby😅
I own a 392 Daytona and love it. Yea, the interior is basic but I like that. And she's right, it's comfortable. This woman does a great job. There should be more like her.
Same car, same opinions. Love Elana's review.
Man those things are huge.
Definitely one of the bigger performance cars.
Occult Kitty go buy a smart car bro.. and good luck if u get into a wreck..
Yep and is amazing how quick they are for their size, which speaks volumes for the gen3 hemis
💪🏼😎
Excellent review Elana! Loved how thorough you covered the details! Also loved that laugh you had as you had fun accelerating!
Thank you for this review you made me want to get the Dodge Charger Daytona 392 for my next car option for sure. And you added the drag racing in your review which really helped to see how fast the car can go.
I have this exact car in a MY2017. Everything you've said about it is exactly true. I've personally pulled the same test numbers as your team and it's consistant.
I've been on three 13hr road trips in the 14 months I've had the car and it was extremely comfortable and trunk space is amazing. The last trip was three adults, 13.5hrs straight with a full trunk and a trip average of 28mpg. Best car I've ever owned
It's fun, comfortable, spacious and performs wonderfully.
Holy $&@^#^% that demon launch though!!! WTF
I take motortend lost another good person.
john mason greedy bastards
She's a freelance writer so she writes for many publications and websites. She still does work for Hot Rod.
That was super fun to watch!!! I loved watching the Demon beat the Charger, and how you giggled and had fun the whole time! Nice video!
Overwhelmingly positive feedback for her car review. Excellent work.
Fantastic review ,
I enjoyed watching this very much.
Amazing review! You really demonstrated what the Charger is all about.
That Demon race was classic. Very entertaining video. Loved the reviewer.
Damn, this was a cool video. The drag strip footage was epic.
Awesome video. The best one that I’ve seen on this channel in several months.
You are one of the best reviewers I seen Great job
Awesome review especially the drag race part keep it up
I liked your review. That was a fun watch! Thank-you!
Whenever they discontinue the charger Daytona is when I’ll cop. It’ll be a classic! Love it.
That was a great review. Thank you for making and sharing.

“I’m not gonna beat that guy, but I’m definitely gonna try” I love her already! 💪🏼💪🏼👌🏼
So glad you're working with Edmonds now Elana. Your content is top notch!
That was a great review, dont even have any questions
Great review. Love the drag vs the Demon... 'bye....' you made me laugh. Thank you.
Love these videos
I like this girl a lot! She's good at reviewing cars and she's very professional. Great job, wish she were doing more reviews because I'm getting tired of a lot of the same old guys.
She has really stretched her legs since leaving hotrod and MT. Great review.👍
That Red Dodge Demon is a monster fast. Great video.
Man she killed that review. Very fun to watch. Im debating if I should get a Scat pack or a Daytona ?!?!!
Awesome review! Bring more content like this.
Awesome review!
Great review! I own this exact car w every option. Love it. Wish I got the Hellcat...lol
Excellent review and video.
I liked your test drive mission on the Dodge Charger you the best training
I enjoy watching this video. Well done.
Nice review .. Pick up 2018 Scat Pack last month .
Great review. I've been living the Charger 392 life since 2015. Am I the only one that noticed her beautiful hands?
Too busy noticing them jubblies
Great video, presenter was excellent. Great Job edmunds!
nice review !!
Good to see you again Elana!
You are the only woman in the auto show business who is not there just to make the video more attractive but because she knows what she talks about. That really increases the show's credibility and we appeciate that.
I really like this video---Very good job!
This was great👍👍👍👍Just ordered a 19 Daytona👍👍👍👍
Wow she killed this review! 👏👏
Good job!
Daytona 392 Life!
Very well done. 👍🏿
The scat pack puts a smile on my face so I can definitely respect that Daytona
I like Elana. Glad to see her in front of the camera again
Nice review!
Great and honest review
Great review.
Great reviewer.
Great video!
My FAV modern Dodge.
I love her reviews
That Demon was insane!
Yasssssss queeen i love her reviews
I love watching this review. She does an amazing job. I also agree with her. Those cars are fun to drive at the drag strip.
I went with the Ram 1500 Night Edition, but I still have dreams about the time I test drove this Daytona
Fantastic review, fantastic gal..
Awesome video. Awesome review. Awesome car. Cool that you took it on the drag strip Next, can you review the Hellcat Charger?
I love my Daytona!
Love the vid
I think this is the first professional 392/485 Charger review I've seen, all the rest have been Hellcats or Demons. Now get Carlos to take it to Big Willow for a track workout.
I liked your 2018 dodge Chargers enjoy your round
Love my interior in my 2015 Charger R/T!
Performance is great as well!
Great review. I couldn't agree more about the comfort and ease to life with. That said, as much as I love my 2015 Charger R/T Road & Track I must some day own a 392.
Nice reaction time on the first run. Out-paced what looks like an SRT Jeep (which is awd). The Demon wasn't here for games. lol
Good review on a badass car! I prefer the Challenger myself, 392 is the sweet spot. Great courage going it with a Demon, and you beat a lot of cars before it! Good job!
Best damn car review I've seen in a long time. I never thought I'd subscribe to this channel but I have to now.
Staring at those headlights
Seat belt is so smooth 🤪😘
One of my old friends got the scat pack and i didnt think it was comfortable at all. Although it felt very fast and love the way the car looked.
Elana....great review 🔥 👀
Good to see a real car chick doing a review on a real car!
Very good, again!
US car world is really different...
My favorite vid of my favorite car
Great review! I like her.
Looks good
Great reviewer! Knows her stuff.
And this is the video that made me go and buy one same color
Lol 🔥
I love these soccer mom muscle car reviews! 😁
I would buy the charger if I was younger and had a vehicle for winter but since I have 2 car seats 30yrs old ++, I will probably take a stinger and drive it the whole year. That 392 engine engine and exhaust sound though can never be replaced by that v6 turbo.
sadly they dont offer the hemi with AWD anymore i guess the take rate was so low but they were a beast I have a family member that lives in the mountins in PA that has one.
WarmSoftKitty Ohhh is that right!?
I drove a 392 Charger through 3 winters, all they need is a snow tire package. The cars are tanks, but do not even attempt to winter drive them on the performance tires - it wont even move on snow covered flat ground.
My cousin drives an escape bc he has a child and is 34. It's no bigger than a sedan. He feels he is old so he has to drive a crossover. I'm 32 and have 5 kids and I drive a 300, challenger, and my wife drives a Durango. If I have to I'd fit us in the chrysler. Long story short please don't let your 30+ determine your vehicle.
WarmSoftKitty who told you that info, you’re dead wrong so stfu and get out of here ! Idiot
I don't have an issues with the size and weight or looks of what Dodge is producing. I also enjoy the color variation I love a a dark purple car or bright green, orange instead of 10 shades of gray. I like certain versions of the Challenger, Charger and Durango. It's the inside that just fails for me, these vehicles are just so long in the tooth and need a complete refresh.
Having said all of the above I would ignore it all for a Magnum with the 392. I'd pay way too much for one with a a manual and AWD.
I rally enjoy this reviewer, just had to add that.
WoW... excellent review. i drove a base 2018 Charger and it was an excellent cruiser, extremely comfortable. Your car is so much better. You had alot of fun.
I like your reviews
Love the car
Thing is a beast
Got the same car.. love it 🙏🏾
Dat Dude_392 me too 👌
Nice
#metoo, and #metoo. (erm. maybe that came out wrong. I have the same car also, and I love it too.)
I think your “rental’s” brakes may be well used. The brakes on mine are hyper sensitive, as is the throttle. They match nicely.
Wish my wife could hang out with this lady for a while and catch the car bug. Great review.
ELANA: Just “subscribed” so I do not miss any new vids from “YOU” 👍🏼
Thank You!
Charger for the win
Flush, Fill, Bleed the brake fluid with a decent DOT 5 brand. Big FCA recall announced for several FCA products.
nice review ! she got more balls than most guys lol 8.4 is legit fast
