2013 Dodge Dart

MultiAir Engine Technology

Developed by Fiat and fitted to both the 1.4-liter turbo and 2.4-liter naturally-aspirated Dart engines, MulltiAir technology individually controls the lift and timing of the engine's intake valves to improve both performance and fuel economy.

A class-exclusive feature that's standard on Dart Limited and R/T models, this innovative interior element is ringed in Ruby Red band of LED illumination and contains the 7.0-inch reconfigurable TFT (Thin Film Transistor) instrument cluster display and 8.4-inch UConnect touch screen multimedia system.

Offering abundant space, innovative style, loads of soft-touch surfaces and numerous color/trim possibilities, the 2013 Dart gets our vote for best-in-class overall cabin design. Its front bucket seats, whether covered in cloth or available leather, provide a great combination of comfort and support while the rear bench is fully adult compatible. Available segment-exclusives like a reconfigurable dash display, huge Uconnect infotainment screen and a heated steering wheel further define its unique character while a cavernous glovebox that can literally swallow a laptop plus hidden storage under the front-passenger seat cushion on the Limited and R/T models further add to the new Dart's appeal.

The 2013 Dodge Dart's sleek and sexy exterior previews a number of cues that will also appear in subsequent Dodge models. With its long (106.4-inch) wheelbase, short overhangs and relatively wide stance, the Dart has a well-planted look even when it's standing still. A distinctive interpretation of the division's signature "gunsight" grille design and the available full-width LED taillights integrate seamlessly with its different model-specific color and accent touches, while unique wheel/tire fitments and detailing further separate this 4-door from the rest of its compact rivals in the curbside appeal department.

The 2013 Dodge Dart will open under $17,000 with the expected high-volume SXT starting below $19,000 and the top-line R/T commanding slightly over $23,000. Those figures put this new Dodge 4-door in the sweet spot of the compact segment: less than the Chevy Cruze, Ford Focus and Toyota Corolla, but modestly above the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra and Mazda Mazda3. With sales not starting until June, KBB.com has yet to establish a Fair Purchase Price for the Dart. The same holds true for its projected retained value over time. However, Dodge residuals have been moving up in the past few years and there's good reason to believe the new Dart will share in that general ascent in brand values as well as from the kind of exclusive features it introduces to the compact segment.
