Some things haven’t changed.

Constructed of 68 per cent high strength steel, among the highest in the industry, the Dodge Dart’s key available safety and security features include a class-leading 10 air bags and four-wheel disc antilock brakes standard on every model, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), electronic roll mitigation, all-speed traction control, ParkView® Rear Back-up Camera with dynamic grid lines, Blind-spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Path detection, Park-Sense® Rear Park Assist, LATCH anchors, which allow a child seat to be placed in any of the three rear seat positions, and much more.

The Dodge Dart’s chassis is engineered to deliver steering precision and sporty handling dynamics but with the ride comfort that makes the daily commute something to look forward to. The exceptional balance of fun-to-drive dynamics, ride comfort, a quiet cabin and emergency handling characteristics is accomplished through the suspension bushing tuning and the Dart’s exceptional body structure, including the front aluminum cradle, rear upper and underbody structure reinforcement and superior suspension attachment stiffness.  

For the 2015 model year, the Dodge Dart Canadian MSRP starts at $15,995.
