What’s the Difference Between The 2016 Dodge Challenger RT and Dodge Challenger RT Plus?

Serving Warner Robins, Macon, and Perry

The Dodge Challenger has remained one of America’s most cherished muscle cars for more than 40 years. Many drivers have fallen in love with the big coupe’s retro styling and exhilarating performance. Unlike some of the other cars in its class, the 2016 Dodge Challenger actually features a roomy backseat. This means that your friends and family can ride along without feeling cramped. A five-star safety rating makes it an even more fulfilling choice.

The new Challenger is available in a variety of different trim packages. If you are looking for an exceptional performance bargain, take a good look at the sporty R/T model. Let’s take a look at how the R/T trim compares to the R/T Plus trim.

How Does the R/T and R/T Plus Perform?

Both trims come equipped with Dodge’s legendary Hemi engine. The 5.7L engine kicks out an exciting 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. When accelerating from a standstill, the Challenger can hit 60 mph in a brisk 5.7 seconds. You can choose either an eight-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual gearbox. The coupe’s 25-mpg fuel economy rating is impressive when considering its performance capabilities. You can also take advantage of the Challenger’s composed handling. Whether you are commuting to work or cruising along a curvy back road, the Challenger R/T is destined to keep you entertained.

How Does the R/T and R/T Plus Look?

The 2016 Dodge Challenger’s old-school appearance sets it apart from the competition. At first glance, onlookers may not notice any major differences between these two trims. LED Halo running lights give the Challenger an especially cool appearance. Like the rest of the lineup, the Challenger R/T features a dual-outlet exhaust system. A set of 20-inch alloy wheels accentuates the coupe’s intimidating road presence. Some of the special paint colors include Plum Crazy, Reline Red, and Jazz Blue. Hood stripes are available as an option. Unlike the standard R/T model, the Challenger R/T Plus comes standard with fog lights.
