    2013-dodge-dart-THUMB2013 Dodge Dart is the vehicle which comes to change everything. It is a mixture of Alfa Romeo DNA, fuel-efficient powertrains and Dodge’s passion for performance. It is truly fuel efficient, makes you fall in love at first sight (just see how it looks) and offers excitement and agility in driving.

    It comes equipped with innovative technologies, class-leading safety features and clever functionality. In other words – it comes to redefine the compact car segment by offering one-of-a-kind personalization, spaciousness, functionality and fun-to-drive dynamics.

    First of all let’s review the exceptional exterior of this car. 2013 Dodge Dart’s designers definitely created it with this vision of the design becoming timeless. This means at least that it is stylish and distinctive and grabs immediately the attention. It has sportish look, athletic lines and aesthetically agile appearance.

    In addition, the front of the Dart carries the specific and unmistakable Dodge split crosshair grille. However, it is now with modern and sleek look that “floats” in the front fascia, giving the Dart a full-width mask. You can definitely recognize that it is a Dodge, thank to this.

    Moreover, front of the Dart has been designed for smooth airflow around, above and below the car without compromising styling or engine cooling requirements. Next, below the front fascia there is positioned a lower radiator close-out pane, which contributes to the Dart’s lower front-end look.

    On the other hand the rear view of the all-new 2013 Dodge Dart includes an available Charger-inspired “racetrack” full-width taillamp with 152 indirect glow LEDs, and class-exclusive available dual exhausts mounted in the rear fascia.

    Another highlight is that the designers of the car put a lot of attention on the details. For instance, have included these eye-capturing elements: standard laser-braised roof welds, high-quality metal Daylight Opening (DLO) moldings painted piano black and standard projector headlamps.

    All in all everything that has been made around the design leads to more dramatic aero-dynamical appearance and exceptional proportions, world-class craftsmanship and modern technology.

    Next comes the interior of the car. Dodge’s interior is crafted with materials and technology typically found in more expensive vehicle segments. In it is included innovative ambient interior lighting, high-quality soft-touch materials and high-tech features.

    The interior of the Dart is “driver-centric”. All of the controls are put within easy reach of the driver. It might surprise you but the vehicle is really comfortable and spacious inside, and it boasts best-in-class hip and shoulder room.

    The high-tech highlight of the 2013 Dodge Dart is the 7-inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) LED customizable gauge cluster display with light pipe surround. This one also houses the available class-exclusive Uconnect® Touch 8.4-inch touchscreen Media Center, which is the largest touchscreen in its class.

    Furthermore, the center console features auxiliary jacks to plug in a wide variety of electronic devices. It also includes inventive storage solutions, like center console side pockets.

    The warm atmosphere in the vehicle is provided of course by the lightning. The available “racetrack” lighting surrounds the floating island bezel. In addition, there is the ambient lighting for the door handles, map pockets, foot wells, glove box, storage bin and illuminated cup holders.
