The 2021 Dodge Charger R/T (now available at Willowbrook Chrysler) and 2021 Kia K5 GT are dynamic four-door vehicles that can dominate the track. When pitted against each other, however, which one proves the ultimate powerhouse?2021 Dodge Charger R/T
Engine: 5.7L HEMI V8
Transmission: 8-speed automatic
Drive Type: Rear-Wheel Drive
Horsepower: 370
Torque: 395 lb-ft
2021 Kia K5 GT
Engine: 2.5L Turbo I-4
Transmission: 8-speed dual-clutch
Drive Type: Front-Wheel Drive
Horsepower: 290
Torque: 311 lb-ft
When it comes to pure power output, the 2021 Charger R/T’s 5.7L HEMI V8 surpasses Kia’s turbocharged engine. In fact, the Dodge can sprint to 100 km/h in approximately five seconds; and it also offers RWD, which provides a level of sporty performance that the K5 (and most other FWD competitors) can't match.Â
The R/T also offers the Dodge Performance Pages, which show engine-centred data on the UConnect touchscreen. You can also see information via the in-cluster display and more effectively control output. Other features (such as a functional hood scoop, performance suspension and brakes, and a dedicated sport mode) unleash the track-ready prowess of the new Charger.Â
