What Dodge does

Dodge is an American automobile brand founded in 1914 and headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, operating as a marque under FCA US LLC, a subsidiary of Stellantis N.V. The brand produces performance-oriented vehicles spanning gasoline, hybrid, and electric powertrains, with a core portfolio built around the Charger (offered in two-door and four-door configurations) and the three-row Durango SUV. Performance is layered on through named sub-brands and trims including Charger Scat Pack (twin-turbo 550 horsepower), Charger Daytona Scat Pack (all-electric), Durango SRT, and the forthcoming 2027 Super Bee. Underlying technology combines SRT-engineered performance systems with the Direct Connection factory-backed parts catalog and the Uconnect connected services platform.

The business model is anchored by hardware sales of new vehicles distributed through an extensive authorized U.S. dealer network complemented by an online shop and build-and-price configurator. Adjacent revenue streams include Direct Connection performance parts and accessories, official Dodge merchandise, vehicle financing and leasing through Stellantis Financial Services, and subscription-based Uconnect connected services including EV charging routed through the Free2Move partnership. The go-to-motion is direct-to-consumer, supported by content marketing (Dodge Garage, Dodge Muscle) and broad social presence (Instagram, Twitter/X, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok), with a complimentary Radford Racing School driving experience embedded as a post-purchase benefit for qualifying performance buyers.

Dodge serves three primary customer segments: performance vehicle enthusiasts seeking American muscle with 550+ horsepower capability, SUV buyers needing the Durango's family/utility packaging with performance DNA, and a secondary segment of electric vehicle adopters entering through the Charger Daytona lineup. Ownership benefits include warranty-protected customization via Direct Connection and brand-level cultural positioning through the America250 sponsorship, reinforcing Dodge's heritage as an icon of U.S. muscle-car identity while it executes a managed transition toward electrified performance.
