When you think of muscle cars, fuel efficiency is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. However, the top-selling Pentastar engine equipped on the 2021 Dodge Charger GT provides you with a racetrack performance without the gas-guzzling stereotype.
Â
This 3.6-litre V6 motor is paired with the 8-speed automatic transmission from TorqueFlite. Together, this combination pushes out 305 hp and 268 lb-ft of torque. You also get to choose between RWD and AWD, depending on the type of driving you typically do. Meanwhile, the average fuel economy is estimated at about 12.4 L/100 km (23 mpg) in the city and 7.8 L/100 km (36 mpg) on the highway.
Â
This particular model also includes Sport Mode and a revised suspension for improved handling. You can take this beast on a course to test its skills. The rear stabilizer bar will keep you steady around sharp corners, and the heavy-duty cooling system will prevent overheating.
Â
As for acceleration, you can enjoy a smooth take-off, thanks to the knock-back mitigation. Finally, performance-grade electric power steering makes piloting this feisty ride easy. You don’t have to worry about losing control at higher speeds.
