Serving Lenoir City , Knoxville , and Maryville, TN

A full-size sedan remains a great option for the families who need extra space. By winning the 2016 ALG Residual Value Award, the new Dodge Charger proved that it deserves to be mentioned among the best. The Charger’s muscular styling and solid performance will impress many drivers. Even the base model comes standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Featuring upscale components such as the highly rated Uconnect infotainment system, the Charger SXT stands as one of the top bargains in its class. Meanwhile, the exciting R/T model brings an extra level of performance to the table. Let’s take a look at how the Charger SXT compares to the Charger R/T.

Performance

Dodge’s award-winning Pentastar engine powers the SXT model. The beefy V-6 engine kicks out a fulfilling 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. With highway fuel economy rating of 31 mpg, the Charger SXT delivers the efficiency of a much smaller car. If you love the aggressive performance of a V-8 engine, the R/T model promises to keep you excited. Dodge has tuned the big Hemi engine to develop a stout 370 horsepower and 395 pound-feet of torque. The muscular Charger R/T takes only 5.8 seconds to hit 60 mph. While the R/T model’s quick acceleration is tempting, the SXT version will deliver the best fuel economy.

Fun Factor

You can depend on the 2016 Dodge Charger to offer a high degree of driving excitement. The Charger R/T’s sheer power will intrigue muscle car enthusiasts. However, the SXT model is a fun daily-driver that can be equipped with an AWD system. Although the Charger R/T comes standard with a sports-tuned suspension, Dodge now offers a Super Trak Pak for the SXT model. The Bilstein suspension dampers and low-profile tires enable the Charger SXT to match the R/T model’s sporty handling. To further enhance the SXT’s fun factor, the Super Trak Pak also includes performance gearing. This is a big advantage for the drivers who desire the V-6 engine’s better fuel economy, but still want their Charger to perform like a true sports sedan.

Safety

Both models offer the same outstanding degree of crash protection. The Charger’s well-built chassis enabled it to earn an impressive five-star safety rating. You can ride in style with an extra sense of security. Like the Charger SXT, the R/T model can be equipped with a rear-view camera and rear parking sensors. Available as an option, the lane-keep assist system helps drivers to remain focused on the road ahead. Dodge also offer automatic braking technology, which is activated in emergency situations. Some of the other available safety innovations include blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and an emergency communications system.
