2013 Dodge Dart Review - Although they’re detail shots, they reveal a lot about how technologically advanced and design-savvy the 2013 Dodge Dart cabin will be. A class-exclusive ‘floating island bezel’—what appears to be border (with available ‘racetrack’ light piping) around driver-oriented displays, is referred to as the “the high-tech centerpiece” of the new 2013 Dart.
When it goes on sale sometime in 2012, the Dart will offer three different inline-fours. There will be a 2.0-liter, a turbocharged 1.4-liter Multiair, and a 2.4-liter Multiair. The naturally aspirated 2.0- and 2.4-liters are both members of Chrysler’s new engine family, which it calls—please keep giggling to a minimum—Tigershark.
2013 Dodge Dart Review
Modernized evolutions of Chrysler’s current global 2.0- and 2.4-liter fours, which make 158 and 173 hp, respectively, both should have direct injection. The turbo is likely the same unit as is found in the U.S.-spec Fiat 500 Abarth. We expect the 2.0-liter to make around 160 hp, the turbo 1.4-liter to produce about 170—but deliver better fuel economy than the 2.0—and the 2.4 to perhaps touch 200 horses.
