  OverviewBack again for its second year, the 2014 Dodge Dart offers a lot of the small car personality and charm that we all know and love. Don't get us wrong, large luxury cars with their smooth ride and plush interiors are great, but sometimes its the simple things that bring us the most joy. Sitting right on the border between a compact and a midsize car, the Dart has nimble handling and is easy to maneuver in tight quarters while offering interior space and comfort that is unusual for a car in this segment. Built from the ground up to appeal to young drivers and drivers who value connectivity, the Dart has some great tech features you might not expect to see at this price point. The 2014 Dodge Dart is available in five distinct trim levels, including: SE, SXT, AERO, GT, and Limited. FeaturesFeaturing a fresh and unique design that stands out from the competition, the Dart is one of those cars anyone can appreciate. On top of its modern, sleek look the Dart is also available in a wide variety of colors so you can truly express your inner individuality. Some of the noteworthy hues include: Header Orange, Redline, and True Blue to name a few. A wide stance, lower fender tops, and a roofline that flows smoothly into the hood and deck are just a few of the design cues that set the Dart apart. Other features like the available LED racetrack taillamps, HID projector headlamps with auto on/off function, a power sunroof, foglights, and more help tie the whole look together. Inside, the Dart shows off a whole new level of excellence. A sporty interior complete with high tech features like a TFT reconfigurable digital gauge cluster, an attractive "floating-island" center control stack, and Uconnect infotainment, means all your needs are only a touch (or talk) away. Innovative features like the under-seat storage in the bolstered passenger seat just go to show how much thought and attention to detail Dodge has put into this little sedan. PerformanceUnlike most compact and midsize sedans on the market, the Dodge Dart has been designed to allow for extensive customization based on the driver's preferences. The Dart is available with three engine choices, three transmission choices, comfort and sport tuned suspension. Whether you're looking for the ultimate in efficiency, maximum power, or something in between, the Dart has got you covered. Most drivers will appreciate the well-rounded nature of the 2.0L Tigershark I-4 engine, putting out 160 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque while still returning 25/36 mpg* in city/highway driving. Drivers who want to squeeze out every drop of efficiency will love the 1.4L Multiair Turbo engine with up to an EPA Estimated 28/41 mpg*. Ironically, the Multiair is also the most torque of the available engines as well turning out 160 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. For sheer performance, the 184 hp, 171 lb-ft of torque 2.4L Tigershark Multiair II engine is the natural choice. Even with all its power, it manages an impressive 23/35 mpg* under normal driving conditions. Getting that power to the wheels, drivers have their choice of a sporty, six-speed manual transmission; a six-speed Powertech automatic transmission with or without AutoStick; or a super modern and responsive six-speed dual dry clutch automatic transmission. Helping the GT model put the power down more effectively, an available sport-tuned suspension means you'll lose less momentum in the corners and carry your speed better.

Its the little features that make for a confidence-inspiring car that can keep you going in the right direction under any circumstances. Check out some of the highlights below:
