Dodge Dart
The Dart line-up has been revised since the car’s launch. The 1.4L turbo is only available with the dual-clutch automatic, and then again only in the Aero trim, aimed at maximum efficiency. Most Darts are equipped with a 160-hp 2.0L engine (SE, SXT, Limited) or a 184-hp 2.4L (GT); both engines are teamed with six-speed transmissions, manual or automatic. All versions are front-wheel drive only, but the technology content is impressive for the class.
