This week’s Showroom and Tell highlights a small car with a big attitude. We’re talking about a car with signature Dodge power that happens to be the most technologically advanced vehicle in its class. This is the 2014 Dodge Dart.
Looking at the Dart, it’s obvious that this is a performance car. Head on, the car always appears to be hurtling forward at a downward angle. The hood and front end are as sharp as the name implies with the cross-hair grille leading the way. In the back, the available racetrack taillights will be unmistakable as the Dart passes everything else on the road.
Looks are only part of the package, though. The Dodge Dart is also available with three inline four-cylinder engines. There’s a 1.4-liter MultiAir Turbo, a 2.0-liter DOHC, and the 2.4-liter Tigershark MultiAir II. With the 2.4L Tigershark, you’ll be able to harness a stunning 184 horsepower and 171 pound-feet of torque, more than enough power to turn this car into a super-swift projectile. You can also choose between an available six-speed automatic transmission and the best six-speed manual transmission on the road.
Inside, the Dart is overflowing with a new wave of technology. For example, the completely digital instrument cluster will not only display the gauges you’re used to, it will also show you full-color turn-by-turn navigation, vehicle diagnostics, and fuel economy readouts. Other available features include an 8.4-inch Infotainment display with the Chrysler Group’s Uconnect entertainment and navigation system, a 506-watt Alpine sound system, and the ability to turn your car into a mobile hotspot with WiFi by Mopar.
The 2014 Dodge Dart is available in five different trim levels, and you’ll be surprised how affordable it is even when fully loaded. Combine that with the Dart’s tremendous fuel efficiency and you’ll never look back. You’ll be too focused on the road, speeding off toward the horizon.
