What We Don’t Like: In nearly every measurable way, the Dart has been surpassed by most of its newer competitors. The Dart’s optional 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system, as in most Chrysler products, is clear and intuitive to use. The optional 2.4-liter and 1.4-liter engines also feature surprisingly aggressive exhaust notes that bolster the Dart’s slightly edgy vibe. Handling is well controlled, with nicely weighted steering and a firm ride that remains composed in the corners. Its competent chassis, which resides on the sportier end of its segment, backs up this impression. What We Like: When equipped with the optional appearance packages, the Dart has its own distinctive style and can even be considered sporty-looking.
#Dodge dart 2016 manual
For this review, we drove both a Dart Turbo with the manual transmission and a fully loaded Dart GT Sport with the Blacktop package and an automatic transmission. Manual and automatic transmissions are offered on the SXT Sport and the GT Sport, while the Turbo comes only with a six-speed manual.ĭespite fewer choices overall, buyers can still opt for several appearance groups, such as Blacktop packages for the SXT Sport and GT Sport that include more aggressive body cladding and black trim for the wheels and grille. The SXT Sport has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 160 horsepower the Turbo has a 1.4-liter turbocharged four, also with 160 horsepower and the GT Sport has a 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 184 horsepower. The range now includes SXT Sport, Turbo, and GT Sport trims, each powered by a different engine. What’s New: Earlier this year, Dodge simplified the Dart’s lineup from five trim levels down to three. Despite a size advantage (it measures in as a mid-size car by federal standards), the Dart is uncompetitive against today’s impressive field of like-priced compacts, and it has achieved little sales success since arriving in 2012. As Fiat Chrysler shifts its production priorities away from cars and toward more profitable SUVs and trucks, CEO Sergio Marchionne is reportedly looking for a partner to develop future generations of this compact sedan.
