When it comes to sporty sedans with plenty of power, no one does it quite like Dodge. Just take a look at the impressive engine lineup for the 2021 Charger models. Compared to luxury competitors such as the Cadillac ATS, it outshines every other vehicle in its class.
Â
The Cadillac ATS is usually moved by a turbocharged four-cylinder motor that makes 272 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. However, the Premium Luxury and Premium Performance trims use a 3.6-litre V6 that pushes out 335 hp and 285 lb-ft of torque.

Meanwhile, the Dodge Charger can be fitted with five different motors. The first is Canada’s favourite 3.6-litre V6 from Pentastar. Delivering 300 hp and 264 lb-ft of torque, it’s a great option for daily driving. The next unit is the 5.7-litre HEMI V8 paired with the R/T trim. It generates 370 hp and 395 lb-ft of torque. If you decide on the Scat Pack 392, it will feature a 392 HEMI V8 that pumps out 485 hp and 475 lb-ft of torque. Finally, the SRT Hellcat comes with a 6.2-litre supercharged HEMI V8 that makes 717 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque, and the Redeye churns out 797 hp and 707 lb-ft.
