Dodge intends to release its first EV in 2024.
How would you describe that sound? Ornery lion that just got neutered? Tracheostomy bobcat with a voice box? The use of fake engine noise is sure to be divisive among muscle car enthusiasts. Some will love it, while others will no doubt find it leaves a lot to be desired. Dodge is calling the “BEV exhaust noise” a first-of-its-kind. Whether it’s the right noise for this particular car is still up for debate.
The new system pushes sound through an amplifier and tuning chamber located at the rear of the vehicle. Kuniskis,“We said, ‘OK, if it’s going to happen, let’s do it like Dodge,’” Kuniskis told reporters. “We’re not going to go there and do the same thing. Dodge is going to get lost if we try to do the same thing as everybody else.”But if you’re looking for more relevant specs, like range, battery capacity, or charging speed, you’ll have to wait.
While EVs are often quicker than most gas-powered vehicles thanks to “linear acceleration” that produces astonishing 0–60 mph times, they often lack the driving dynamics that many performance car owners enjoy. Dodge says it’s trying to address this gap through the introduction of new features, like the eRupt electro-mechanical shifting. This feature “delivers distinctive shift points, throwing shoulders into seatbacks in true Dodge style,” the company said.
