Dodge Charger Sixpack priced in Britain from £69,995

The cheapest new Dodge Charger Sixpack in Britain costs £69,995. The more powerful Scat Pack is priced at £75,995. For an expensive American coupe, there is an unusual detail in the UK market: the cars supplied there remain left-hand drive.

The exact prices are published by Unity Automotive. The company has been appointed the main UK dealer for European importer KW Automotive, and the first batch is expected in Britain in October. The R/T produces 420 hp and the Scat Pack 550 hp; both use a 3.0-litre twin-turbo Hurricane inline-six, an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive.

Current information from the British dealer and trade press is unambiguous: orders are being taken for left-hand-drive Chargers. On a market dominated by right-hand-drive cars, that is a notable compromise for a model costing almost £70,000.

The new generation has also moved far from the traditional muscle-car formula. Instead of a HEMI V8, the petrol Charger uses a turbocharged inline-six, but performance is still strong: the 550-hp Scat Pack reaches 60 mph in about 3.9 seconds with help from standard AWD. The 420-hp R/T is rated at 4.6 seconds.

Its move beyond the United States was not sudden. Dodge opened European orders through official importer KW Automotive on June 10. The range includes petrol Charger Sixpack and electric Charger Daytona models in two- and four-door bodies, with Europe-wide pricing starting at €66,000. First European deliveries were announced from September, while Unity expects its UK cars in October.

The British launch shows the price of exclusivity clearly: buyers get 420–550 hp, all-wheel drive and the new-generation Charger, but they also have to accept left-hand drive. Unity also plans to supply four-door versions and the electric Charger Daytona by special order, although UK prices for those variants have not yet been announced.
