2025 Charger Daytona Captures Top Interior Design Award

The 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona just secured its place among the automotive elite. This electric muscle car earned a Wards 10 Best Interiors and UX Award, competing against 34 vehicles to claim the honour.

What sets this cabin apart? The judges found their answer in features that work together to create a driving environment unlike any other electric vehicle on the market today.

Control Centre Built for Drivers

You'll notice the difference immediately upon entering. The pistol grip shifter falls naturally into your hand, a nod to Dodge's performance legacy that functions brilliantly in daily use. Your fingers find the PowerShot button without searching, ready to deliver instant acceleration when the situation demands.

The high-back seats do more than look aggressive – they keep you planted during hard cornering while remaining comfortable on long drives. That flat-bottom steering wheel? It provides extra thigh clearance and enhanced grip exactly where you need it. Add 64 lighting colour choices through the Attitude Adjustment system, and you control every aspect of your driving environment.

Technology That Works Without Complexity

The 12.3-inch touchscreen serves as your gateway to the Uconnect 5 system. Connect your phone wirelessly through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto – no cables required. Check your battery status, monitor regeneration levels, and track power flow through displays designed for quick reading at a glance.

Want to analyze your driving? Performance Pages show real-time data, while the available Drive Experience Recorder captures full track sessions for later review. The Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust lets you dial in your preferred sound through the touchscreen – quiet for early morning departures, aggressive for spirited drives.

Storage That Surprises

Here's what caught the judges' attention: 1,090 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats. That's more than double the previous Charger's capacity. The powered hatch opens to reveal room for golf bags, hockey equipment, or a full weekend's luggage. Need more space? The rear seats fold completely flat.

Don't forget the 42-litre front trunk – perfect for charging cables, small bags, or items you want to keep separate from main cargo. This practicality earned specific praise from judge Bob Gritzinger, who highlighted the "huge, usable cargo area" as an unexpected bonus.

Engineering Excellence Underneath

The STLA Large platform forms the backbone of this award winner. This architecture allows for multiple powertrain configurations while maintaining the rigidity you expect from a performance vehicle. Carbon-fibre trim pieces accent the cabin, complementing the technical foundation with visual sophistication.

Every switch and button provides clear feedback. The digital gauge cluster presents information logically, keeping critical data in your line of sight. Frequently used controls sit exactly where your hands naturally fall, eliminating the need to hunt for functions while driving.
