2014 Dodge Dart review

1. Pleasing cabin design 

The Dart's interior is both roomy and crafted with plush materials. Its cabin stands out for both comfort and design, providing a pleasant environment for both driver and passengers. Look out for the optional seven-inch digital gauge cluster that shows all the vehicle stats you could ever want with charming graphics that have a sporty vibe. Look out for available Nappa-trimmed seats if you want the cabin to feel a little more premium. 

2. Great infotainment system 

Dodge's available Uconnect^® system rarely fails to disappoint, offering an intuitive interface and quick response times. The optional 8.4-inch touchscreen makes the 2014 model feel modern but you also get great connectivity features such as Bluetooth^® integration. Look out for models with the available navigation, too, as this comes in handy if you’re regularly driving long distances. 

3. Sporty styling 

The Dart has a distinctly sporty aesthetic, standing out from more conservative compact sedans. Its design reflects Dodge's muscle car heritage, adding an element of excitement to this compact. Look out for the GT model if you want additional sporty features such as a black grille, ambient interior lighting, and a sports suspension 

4. Balanced performance 

With the available 184-hp  2.4L engine, the Dart offers engaging handling. If you’re more economy-focused look for the available 1.4L turbo engine, which still produces 160 horsepower but can manage an EPA-estimated 32 mpg combined.

5. Plenty of choice 

With a variety of trims and options, the 2014 Dart allows you to find the car that fits your style and preferences. The Dart SE is the most basic model but can often be found with some of the optional equipment such as the Uconnect system. Climb to the SXT for niceties like automatic headlamps, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and cruise control. At the top of the range is the Dart Limited, which gives you luxuries such as heated front seats, navigation, and a power sunroof.
