2013 Detroit: New Dodge Dart GT hints at more fun


The top dog of the Dart sedan lineup, the Dart GT, was revealed today at the Detroit Auto Show, sporting mostly cosmetic enhancements: LED tail lamps, integrated dual exhaust, projector headlights and body-colored door handles.

Inside, the GT gets "Nappa" perforated leather seats, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control. But the heart of the Dart is the 184-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine.

Enthusiasts will be thankful that this powertrain is available with a six-speed manual transmission; a six-speed automatic is also offered.

The GT will also get standard 18-inch wheels and a sport suspension with "frequency sensing damping shocks." Other features include an 8.4-inch touch screen with Chrysler's Uconnect, rear-view camera and a number of other add-ons to justify the $20,995 retail price. We like that touch-screen in other Chrysler products, such as the 300.

  1. I've always dreamed of having a car that has an ideal speed, style, dynamics, and price as well. Luckily this year, my dreams would finally come true. I find this car to be sexy because of the curvaceous silhouette from front to rear. Plus, the dual chrome exhaust tips at the tail are definitely a swagger!
