The Dodge commitment to EV, and our future:

Dodge parent company Stellantis has made their commitment to electric vehicles (EVs) clear: Stellantis has set the target of 50 percent of their sales of passenger cars and light duty trucks to battery electric vehicles by the end of 2030.  And already Stellantis EVs are market leaders across North America and Europe.

To accomplish their EV goals, Stellantis is investing more than $30 Billion through 2025 to develop electrification and software development to support those vehicles in our brand families.

The Dodge family of vehicles is proud to be a part of that initiative. Dodge has partnered with Samsung to build a sprawling EV battery plant in Kokomo Indiana- committing $2.5 billion to the endeavor. 

At National Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram we're fully on board with Stellantis' commitment to EV sales and support.

Dodge EV and Hybrid vehicles at National DCJR in Jacksonville NC

Dodge is home to muscle cars, so when the brand turned their focus to the next generation of vehicles- EVs and Hybrids- they started with doing what they do best: Developing a fully electric version of the iconic Charger- the Charger Daytona SRT.  The Daytona SRT is a fully electric muscle concept car that will be produced starting in 2024.  Dodge unveiled the concept version of the Charger Daytona SRT at SEMA 2022 in Las Vegas, and KBB.com reported that Dodge shared performance details too: It could be offered in 9 configurations, including two 400-volt versions that are projected to deliver 456 hp and 590 hp. KBB reports that Dodge may offer a series of eStage upgrade packages that would be over-the-air downloads that would provide horsepower boosts.

While the world waits to see the EV Charger unveiled, Dodge is already offering drivers the brand's first EV- the 2023 Dodge Hornet GT hybrid- capable of 268 hp, with responsive and powerful performance. This compact utility vehicle is a multi-energy powertrain model and comes as a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.

The Hornet's lithium-ion battery powers a 90kW electric motor and is paired with a 1.3 -liter turbo charge all-aluminum engine. And like its namesake, this Hornet flies fast: accelerating from 0 to 60 in 6.1 seconds. According to TheDriven auto website, Dodge boasts that the Hornet GT Hybrid has the most power in the segment, and boasts segment-exclusive performance features, as well as the best standard tech in its class.

As Dodge moves forward with its commitment to more environmentally friendly vehicles, 2023 is `Last Call' for the traditional Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger lineup of vehicles.  And they're going out with a bang, with seven special `last call' models available for 2023.   At National DCJR, we'd be happy to show you some these heritage versions available at our showroom at 2223 on N. Marine Blvd. in Jacksonville NC.

The 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S at National DCJR in Jacksonville

First things first:  more than a year ago Motortrend.com® reported that Jeep's fully electric premium SUV wouldn't keep the name Wagoneer S when it reached showrooms, and reported that 'Wagoneer S' was just a placeholder name 'to indicate the two-row SUV's premium vibe and it's `S'-peedy intentions.'

Well turns out that it is, in fact, going to be called the Wagoneer S when it goes on sale later this year through National DCJR, with deliveries anticipated starting in early 2024.  This highly anticipated Jeep 'Wagoneer S' midsize SUV is part of Jeep's promised growing Wagoneer family, this being the S-porty sibling.

Sporty Styling from 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S

Let's talk S-tyling: Early photos show a dramatically lit seven-slot front grille, polished side profile, aerodynamic roof spoiler, and an overall sleek design that goes hand in hand with its eye-toward-the-future zero tailpipe emissions. There'll be all-LED exterior lighting, including LED tail lights to complement the Wagoneer S sleek styling.

As for S-peculation on what we'll see when order banks open for the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S at National DCJR, autoevolution.com® says the all-wheel drive Wagoneer S is expected to have a max power output of 600 hp- which could be enough to deliver an acceleration rate of zero to 60mph in just 3.5 seconds!

Jeep is keeping mum, but industry insiders say the Wagoneer S is expected to offer a 400-mile driving range. Jeep parent company Stellantis has confirmed- no shocker here- the Wagoneer S will have plenty of headroom and legroom for all passengers in the 2-row SUV, though they haven't released interior details and dimensions.

Perhaps our biggest hints can be culled by looking at the traditional Jeep Wagoneer features:  the 2023 Jeep Wagoneer has quite the bragging rights: winning JD Power® awards for #1 in Driver Appeal Among Large SUVs in 2022, and #1 in Residual Value Among Large SUVs in 2023.  It also won Newsweek's® 2022 Premium SUV award, and the Texas Auto Writers Association® award for Best New Feature.
