If you believe that a luxury brand nameplate means a better performance, think again! The new 2021 Dodge Charger leaves competitors like the 2020 Lincoln MKZ in its dust. Available at O’Connor Chrysler in BC, you can ride home in one of these racing legends today!
Â
The base engine for the Lincoln MKZ is a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder that pushes out 245 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque. If you opt for the hybrid version of the same motor, it will only deliver 188 combined hp. The strongest powertrain offered with this lineup is equipped on the Reserve II trim. It’s a turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 that pumps out 350 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque.
Â
On the other hand, the Dodge Charger has engines that can churn out up to 797 hp and 707 lb-ft of torque (that’s the supercharged 6.2-litre High-Output HEMI V8). The standard block is a 3.6-litre V6 that produces 300 hp and 264 lb-ft of torque, which is 55 more horses than the Lincoln. The next comparable powertrain is the 5.7-litre HEMI V8 that generates 370 hp, which is 20 horses more.
