Overall Rating
There are no major changes to the 2015 Dodge Dart as it carries the same engine options from the previous year. Historically, the Dart is slightly slower on acceleration while it capitalizes on the overall fuel economy.
There are no major changes to the 2015 Dodge Dart as it carries the same engine options from the previous year. Historically, the Dart is slightly slower on acceleration while it capitalizes on the overall fuel economy. Its interior design is decent but falls short on spacing. Starting at $16,500, the top trim costs up to $23,795. Thus, the Dart competes with equally affordable vehicles like the Chevrolet Cruz and Hyundai Elantra.
We would recommend you to opt for the SXT trim as it comes with a much better 2.4-liter engine that provides better power output. This improves the overall performance of the vehicle. Along with that, it gets improved features like automatic headlights, 16-inch aluminum wheels, power mirrors, and many more. Thus for $19,000, the SXT provides a better value for the money spent.
