- Dodge sales dropped 28 percent in 2025 after key model cuts.
- Charger Daytona EV sold 7,421 units but collapsed in Q4.
- Gas-powered Charger sales totaled 2,141 units last year.
The electric Dodge Charger Daytona arrived with high expectations and plenty of side-eye. Critics quickly pounced on its departure from the raw appeal of its gas-powered predecessor, and online, it’s become an easy punchline. Sales haven’t matched the old Charger’s numbers either, but despite the cold reception, the Daytona is far from the worst-selling model in Stellantis’ lineup.
Dodge’s full-year 2025 sales figures show that it moved 7,421 Charger Daytona units in the States. That’s not nothing, but the numbers sharply declined by the end of the year. With the loss of the federal EV tax credit, only 346 were sold in the final quarter, a steep drop that proves how sensitive EV demand still is to incentives.

The arrival of the six-cylinder-powered Dodge Charger Sixpack in both sedan and coupe forms should help boost overall sales of the new-age muscle car. Dodge says it delivered 273 gas-powered Chargers last quarter, and 2,141 for the year, although it’s unclear how many of these were the new model, or examples of the previous-generation car that had been sitting on dealership lots.
Oddly enough, the Charger Daytona’s numbers may end up being the most encouraging part of Dodge’s performance this year. The brand’s total sales fell 28 percent, plunging from 141,730 to 101,927 units. A big part of that drop comes from sunsetting the old Charger and Challenger, which had been longstanding anchors of the lineup.
What Happened to the Hornet?
The real drag, though, was the Dodge Hornet. Positioned to break into the lucrative compact crossover segment, it instead saw a 54 percent decline, landing at just 9,365 units for the year. That’s a hard hit in a category where brands usually count on volume.
Even so, Dodge isn’t the bleakest story inside Stellantis right now. Fiat and Alfa Romeo had an even tougher year. Fiat managed to sell only 1,321 vehicles in the US in 2025, a 14 percent drop. The fourth quarter was particularly grim, with just 84 vehicles sold across the country. That’s not a typo.

Alfa Romeo also had a rough ride. Sales fell 36 percent, from 8,865 down to 5,652. Fourth-quarter deliveries slumped even more severely, dropping 57 percent to 874 units. With delays pushing back successors to the Giulia and Stelvio, it’s not clear where Alfa goes next or how long it can keep limping along without fresh models on the lot.
So while the Charger Daytona may have disappointed purists and confused loyalists, it has already outsold the combined efforts of both Fiat and Alfa Romeo at 6,973 units. In the wider context of Stellantis’ year, that counts as a win. Kind of.
