2015 Dodge Dart Test Drive Review summaryImage

The 2015 Dodge Dart has a few surprises for budget buyers looking for a compact car: It's much bigger than you'd expect and can be fun in moments.

The 2015 Dodge Dart doesn't change much from last year, with the inclusion of a Blacktop appearance package wedged into SXT trims. The Aero trim is the only Dart available with the 1.4-liter turbo 4-cylinder, and the 2.4-liter four extends to the SXT, GT, and Limited trims. The Dart is a versatile car built on a solid platform, but ultimately hides a lot of its best qualities trying to please everyone, all the time.
8/10

The 2015 Dodge Dart is Dodge’s compact car and most likely a first step for many car buyers into the Chrysler group. Don’t be fooled: The Dart is compact in concept only. The car’s interior is larger than some 5-door hatchbacks in its class and rivals those of some smaller midsize sedans.

The 2015 model isn’t significantly different than last year. This year’s model only includes a Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) designation for higher trim levels, and air conditioning, power door locks, Bluetooth, and active grille shutters as standard on lower trims.

The Dart begins at $17,490 for the SE, which is the base trim and features a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine and manual transmission. A long list of standard features including windows, doors, wheels, buttons, and fabric are standard on the SE models. (We’re kidding—the SE gets the base treatment, but still features a CD player, 16-inch steel wheels, and a USB port.)

From there the SXT trim, the Dart’s biggest seller by a large margin, adds a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine, Bluetooth connectivity, steering-wheel-mounted controls, and cruise control. Optional extras on the SXT include a 6-speed automatic transmission, 17-inch wheels, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

The Aero and Limited trims of the Dart are Dodge’s high-mileage and luxury package groups respectively. The Aero model sports a much smaller 1.4-liter, turbo 4-cylinder engine and manual transmission (or an optional dry dual-clutch automatic) and 16-inch wheels to wring every mile out of the Dart. The Limited model drops in the 2.4-liter four and a slew of convenience-minded extras, including an 8-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system, power seats, 17-inch wheels, and a 7-inch multifunction display in the instrument cluster.

The GT trim is the performance model and adds on top of the SXT package a tuned suspension and engine calibration for the 2.4-liter 4-cylinder and a black fascia up front. The GT also sports 18-inch wheels on the outside and Nappa leather on the inside.
