In response to high demand for the popular Blacktop Package, Dodge is continuing the blacked out look for the 2016 model year on the SXT model and expanding the availability to the GT model in the first quarter of 2016. The 2016 Dodge Dart Blacktop Package includes 18-inch Gloss Black aluminum wheels, Gloss Black exterior mirrors and all-season tires. 

The Dart SE Rallye Appearance Package adds attitude to the entry model, with 17-inch Granite Crystal aluminum wheels, black headlamp bezels, a black grille surround with black crosshair and dark bumper.

Some things haven’t changed. The 2016 Dodge Dart continues to deliver a distinctive style with an athletic, stylish exterior design punctuated with the signature race track LED tail lamps; a modern, sleek interior design that’s well-crafted with high-quality materials and attention to detail; class-leading safety and security features, including 10 standard air bags; class-exclusive, easy-to-use technology and steering, ride and handling, and dynamics engineered for the driver who loves to drive.

The Dart is loaded with more than 55 available safety and security features, which give both drivers and passengers peace of mind. 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 standard air bags, four-wheel anti-lock brakes standard on every model, Electronic Stability Control, electronic roll mitigation, all-speed traction control, ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera with dynamic grid lines, Blind-Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Path Detection, ParkSense® rear park assist, LATCH anchors, which allow a child seat to be placed in any of the three rear seat positions, and much more. 

In addition, the 2016 Dodge Dart continues to offer the class-exclusive Uconnect® system, which includes an available 8.4-inch touchscreen radio, the largest in the segment; hands-free communication with Bluetooth® streaming audio, which allows drivers to operate a Bluetooth compatible phone with their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road and enables drivers to switch radio modes, tune to AM/FM and SiriusXM Radio stations and features a 7-inch full-colour customizable digital gauge cluster to let the customer decide what format they want the information displayed.
 
The 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.
