It is hard to overlook the superb craftsmanship of the 2015 Dodge Dart. The small sedan’s sleek styling and nimble driving dynamics give it a big edge over the competition. Although the base trim will appeal to the car shoppers who are on a tight budget, the performance-focused GT model brings even more excitement to the table. In an effort to maximize gas mileage, the ultra-efficient Aero model has been engineered with several fuel-saving components. Meanwhile, every driver will benefit from the Dart’s five-star safety rating.

Prospective buyers can choose from three exciting four-cylinder engines. With a total output of 160 horsepower, the base engine proves to be a great option for budget-minded drivers. Gas mileage stands at an impressive 36 mpg on the highway. Drivers who need a little more fire under the hood can opt for the Multi-Air turbocharged engine. Although this boosted engine generates the same horsepower as the base engine, it generates a whopping 36 lb.-ft. more torque. Not only is this engine more potent, but it is also more efficient. When traveling on the open road, drivers can get a remarkable 41 mpg.

The top power source is Dodge’s highly-praised Tigershark engine. Featuring a special intake system, the 2.4-liter engine is able to churn out an exciting 184 horsepower and 171 pound-feet of torque. Like the rest of the engine lineup, the Tigershark is available with either a six-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual gearbox. Fortunately, the more powerful Dart can still deliver over 30 mpg.

The GT model is clearly the sportiest version of the Dart. Featuring a sports-tuned suspension and a set of 18-inch performance tires, the Dart GT is a certified sports sedan. Driving enthusiasts will definitely appreciate the GT model’s athletic performance. According to Motor Trend, the Dart GT handles "flatly and confidently" on the road. Unlike a traditional sports car, the Dart GT actually provides enough room for the family.

In terms of efficiency, the Aero trim has been specially engineered to cut down on fuel consumption. Some of the fuel-saving goodies include low-rolling-resistance tires and active grille shutters that help to reduce drag. While the Aero trim comes standard with a manual gearbox, an exclusive automated manual transmission is also available.

Most people are initially captivated by the Dart’s sporty design. Dodge’s signature cross-hair grille helps to provide the sedan with a distinct look that no other rival can match. Equipped with 18-inch black wheels and laced in black trim, the available Blacktop package gives the Dart a custom appearance. All models come standard with a unique LED taillight system. Some of the awe-inspiring paint colors include Vitamin C, Redline Red and Laser Blue.

On the inside, the Dart is obviously a notch above the other sedans in its class. Aside from the cabin’s high-quality design, Dodge also offers several high-tech upgrades. Designed with an 8.4-inch display screen, the Uconnect infotainment system is one of the highest-rated units on the market. Meanwhile, the available digital gauge cluster displays all of the sedan’s critical information. Some of the other neat features include HID headlights, navigation, and a 506-watt Alpine sound system.

The 2015 Dodge Dart is among the most secure driving machines in its class. Its five-star safety rating means that every passenger will ride with an extra level of crash protection. Some of the optional safety components include a rear-view camera, blind-spot monitoring, and a cutting-edge ParkSense system.

Prices for the new Dodge Dart start at $16,495. Keep in mind that all models come with a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
