Dodge Dart

Precision Craftsmanship

The interior starts with the driver in a purpose-built, fluid layout designed to be both stunning and ergonomic. It features ambient lighting to highlight the interior craftsmanship and refinements like soft-touch surfaces, accent stitching on the dash and seats, tactile grains and available hand-wrapped surfacing.

The Dart is also a compact sedan that offers interior space you'd expect in a larger vehicle, with a total interior passenger volume of 2,752 L (97.2 cu ft) and cargo capacity of 371 L (13.1 cu ft).

Heated Steering Wheel

The Dodge Dart is available with a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel – a feature normally associated with more expensive vehicles.

Enjoy the sporty grip for invigorating drives and take on those cold winter mornings without skipping a beat.

Automatic Temperature Control

Customize your comfort with this available feature. It enables the driver and front passenger to control 2 distinct temperature zones. Maintain your desired temperature with this exceptionally quiet and efficient feature.

Fuel-Efficient Performance

The 2016 Dodge Dart delivers impressive fuel economy as efficient as 5.8 L/100 km (49 mpg) highway.

The federal government implemented a new 5-cycle test method to replace the 2-cycle method. It now takes into account air conditioner usage, cold temperature operation, and higher-speed driving with more rapid braking and acceleration for more realistic numbers.

While the 5-cycle fuel efficiency ratings are different than the 2-cycle ratings, actual fuel efficiency has not changed – the way it is calculated has.

MultiAir

MultiAir® technology delivers optimum performance across the rpm range by allowing direct and dynamic control of air intake and combustion. The result is up to a 15 percent increase in low engine rpm torque and up to a 7.5 percent improvement in fuel efficiency.

6-Speed Transmission

With 3 advanced transmissions to select, the Dodge Dart can suit just about any driving style. The 6-speed close-ratio manual transmission connects you to the drivetrain for a pure driving experience.

For those who prefer a smooth feel, the 6-speed PowerTech and the available Dual Dry Clutch Transmission (DDCT), each with Auto/StickTM, offer drivers the best of both worlds (DDCT is available with the 1.4L MultiAir® I-4 Turbo).

Active Grille Shutters

The available active grille shutter system on the Dart was a first for Dodge. At highway speeds, airflow is automatically stopped through the lower intake to lower aerodynamic drag.

With the amount of air cooling dependent upon vehicle speed, the active grille shutter system opens or closes automatically based upon engine coolant temperature, resulting in better fuel economy.

Class-Exclusive 7-inch Customizable In-Cluster Display

There's an array of available Class-Exclusive features for the 2016 Dodge Dart. It includes a premium 7-inch customizable in-cluster display19.

The display delivers real-time information on performance, available navigation7 and vehicle status. Even more impressive, it can be reconfigured in full colour and incredibly rich graphics never before seen on a compact car. It is standard on the Aero, GT and Limited.

Push-Button Start

Opt for Keyless Enter 'n GoTM with push-button start and get absolute convenience. This available feature allows passive vehicle entry, trunk release and keyless engine start, all activated via a smart fob.

It's simple to use: with the key fob in your pocket or purse, doors will unlock with a touch of the handle and your car will start with the push of a button. Working in tandem with the vehicle security system, it combines advanced anti-theft protection and engine immobilization.

ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera

Advanced Braking Systems

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)3 and 4-wheel antilock disc brakes – Canadian road conditions can change with the weather. The Dart's standard ESC helps the driver maintain vehicle directional stability and limits oversteer or understeer.

ESC includes All-Speed Traction Control, Brake Assist, Electronic Roll Mitigation, Hill Start Assist, Brake Lock Differential and Trailer Sway Control.

Brake Assist – This system detects how fast the driver is applying the brakes in the event of an emergency braking situation, and boosts brake pressure as needed.

Ready Alert Braking – The system pre-charges the brake system to decrease the time required for full brake application by anticipating situations when the driver may initiate an emergency brake stop.
