SuccessorDodge Neon (third generation) (Mexico)

The Dodge Dart is a front-engine, front-wheel drive, four-door compact sedan that was manufactured and marketed by then FCA US LLC, a subsidiary of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The automobile debuted at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. In some non-US markets, the Dodge Dart is sold as the Fiat Viaggio.

Reviving a nameplate used by Dodge in model years 1960-1976 for a succession of full-size, mid-size, and finally compact models, the Dart (PF) was the brand's first compact sedan since 2005, when the Neon was discontinued.

History

[edit]

A mini MPV concept car was designed and developed by Chrysler and revealed in 2006 as the Dodge Hornet to be sold exclusively in Europe.[8] It was Dodge's first attempt at building a vehicle of this small size, and the car was expected to be released in 2010. However, this concept was dropped because of the Great Recession and the restructuring of the Chrysler Group.[9]

After Chrysler's merger with Fiat in late 2010, the small Dodge Hornet concept took on a new form to share a Fiat platform.[10] In December 2011, the automaker announced the new small sedan would be called the Dodge Dart to replace the Dodge Caliber.[11][12][13]

The Dart was initially scheduled for U.S. dealership sales beginning in late June 2012.[14] The Aero model began production in the third quarter of 2012.[15] The GT began production in the second quarter of 2013.[16]

On March 4, 2014, at the Geneva Motor Show, Sergio Marchionne commented on the possible production of a hatchback model for the North American market, saying, "our North American consumers will be gradually offered alternatives for same or close to expense" and that potential buyers might account for either Fiat 500X or Jeep Renegade.[citation needed]

Features

[edit]

Interior

The Dart had three transmission options,[17][18] and available electrically boosted power steering that has a sensor and electric motor mounted to the rack itself.[19] Interiors were customizable with 12 different color/fabric combinations, optional ambient lighting systems, and optional leather seats. The dashboard featured a 7-inch (178 mm) color TFT display with trip computer and navigation system. Storage included a glove box, center console with auxiliary electronics jacks, and console map pockets.[19] Trunk volume is 13.1 cu ft (370 L).[6]

In 2014, all Darts aside from the SE got standard U Connect Bluetooth telephone for 2014. A Blacktop Package, featuring black alloy wheels and black accents, for all models except SE and Limited, as well as a California Appearance Package for the SXT and Limited, both became available for 2014.[citation needed]

The Dart was the first compact sedan to feature a rear obstacle detection system and blind spot monitoring.[19] A Dart version managing an unadjusted combined driving 40 miles per US gallon (5.9 L/100 km; 48 mpg‑imp) (16.94 km/L) made it possible for Fiat to acquire an additional 5% share of Chrysler Group.[20]

The Dart uses a similar suspension system to that of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta: in front it has independent MacPherson struts, coil springs, twin-tube dampers, and stabilizer bar while in the rear it has independent multilink suspension.[6] According to Dart chief engineer the suspension is slightly softened compared with the Alfa, "We've taken a little edge off it," "It's a blast to toss around."[21]

Models

[edit]

The Dart came in several different trim levels during its four-year production run, each model having its own distinct level of standard and optional equipment:

SE

[edit]

The SE was the base Dart model between 2013 and 2016. It offered the following standard equipment: 160-horsepower 2.0L Tigershark I4 engine, six-speed manual transmission, AM/FM stereo with single-disc CD/MP3 player with auxiliary and USB inputs, four-speaker audio system, heater (no air conditioning), power windows and door locks, cloth seating surfaces, dual manually-adjustable front bucket seats, split-folding rear bench seat, full instrumentation, fifteen-inch black-painted steel wheels with plastic wheel covers, and black door handles and side mirrors. Additional options available for this model included a SE Popular Equipment Group that added equipment such as air conditioning, U Connect Bluetooth with streaming audio, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, a six-speaker audio system, keyless entry, and exterior color-keyed side mirrors. A six-speed automatic transmission was also available for this trim level. In mid-2016, the SE trim level of the Dodge Dart was discontinued.

SXT

[edit]

The SXT was the "mid-level" trim level of the Dart between 2013 and 2016. It added the following equipment to the base SE trim level: sixteen-inch aluminum-alloy wheels (2014 and newer models), U Connect Bluetooth with streaming audio, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, a six-speaker audio system (four-speaker audio system after mid-2016), air conditioning, keyless entry, and exterior color-keyed door handles and side mirrors. Additional options for this trim level included sixteen-inch aluminum-alloy wheels (standard on 2014 and newer models), the U Connect 8.4-inch touch-screen infotainment system, a nine-speaker, 506-watt Alpine premium amplified surround-sound audio system, remote start, a six-speed automatic transmission, a 160-horsepower 1.4 L MultiAir Turbocharged I4 engine, the Rallye Package, a seven-inch TFT instrument cluster display, and a power-adjustable front driver's bucket seat. During the final few months of Dodge Dart production, this model was known as the SXT Sport, and with the discontinuation of the previously base-model SE trim level, became the base trim level of the Dodge Dart.

Limited

[edit]

The Limited was the "up-level" Dart trim level between 2013 and 2016. It added the following equipment to the "mid-level" SXT trim level: seventeen-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, the U Connect 8.4-inch infotainment system, a power-adjustable front driver's bucket seat, Nappa luxury leather-trimmed seating surfaces (2014 and later models), dual heated front seats, a seven-inch TFT instrument cluster display, a six-speed automatic transmission, a 160-horsepower 1.4 L MultiAir Turbocharged I4 engine, a 184-horsepower 2.4 L Tigershark Inline Four-Cylinder engine (standard on later models), seventeen-inch polished aluminum-alloy wheels, GPS navigation, Keyless Enter-'n'-Go with push-button start, a nine-speaker, 506-watt Alpine premium amplified surround-sound audio system, and Nappa luxury leather-trimmed seating surfaces (optional on 2013 models only). In mid-2016, the Limited trim level of the Dodge Dart was discontinued.

Aero

[edit]

The Aero trim level of the Dart, available from 2013 until 2016 and based on the "mid-level" SXT trim level, was focused on fuel economy, and added the following features to that model: U Connect 8.4-inch touch screen infotainment system and 160-horsepower 1.4 L MultiAir I4 engine. Additional features on this trim level included aluminum-alloy wheels, a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and remote start. The Aero trim level of the Dodge Dart achieved an EPA fuel economy rating of 41 MPG Highway. In mid-2016, the Aero trim level of the Dodge Dart was discontinued.

GT

[edit]

The GT was the top-of-the-line Dart trim level between 2013 and 2016. It added the following equipment to the Limited trim level: Nappa luxury leather-trimmed seating surfaces, Keyless Enter-'n'-Go with push-button start, eighteen-inch Granite Crystal-finished aluminum-alloy wheels, a nine-speaker, 506-watt Alpine premium amplified surround-sound audio system and a 184-horsepower 2.4 L Tigershark I4 engine. Additional options on this trim level included eighteen-inch Hyper Black-finished aluminum-alloy wheels, a six-speed automatic transmission, and a remote start. During the final few months of Dodge Dart production, this model was known as the GT Sport.

Engines

[edit]

The Dart had three engine options: a Tigershark 16-valve 2 L engine, a "Tigershark" 16-valve 2.4 L MultiAir 2 four-cylinder engine, and a 16-valve 1.4 L MultiAir Intercooled turbo engine used also in the Alfa Romeo Giulietta.[22] That engine has been retuned for American use (changing the required grade of oil to one widely available in the U.S. and Canada, for example) in the Fiat 500 Abarth.[23] The 1.4T Dart also will have more torque than the Abarth. A 6-speed manual transmission was available with all engines. A six-speed automatic was optional on the 2.0 L and 2.4 L engines while a six-speed dual-clutch transmission was available on the 1.4 L turbo version. Marchionne stated that a 9-speed automatic would be available sometime later, but the Dart ended production before it could be added.[24] All Dart engines were built in Dundee, Michigan.[25]

In 2014, the Dart SXT and Limited included a 2.4 L I4 engine with increased horsepower ratings, while making the 2.0 L Tigershark I4 engine only available in the base SE model. The 2.4 L I4 engine was offered in late 2013 with the introduction of the Dart GT model. The Dart Aero, Rallye, SXT, and Limited models are the only models available with the 1.4 L MultiAir turbocharged I4 engine.[citation needed]

Motorsports and SRT

[edit]

At the New York International Auto Show in 2012, a Dodge Dart turbo four-wheel drive rally car was shown. The blue-and-white SRT-badged car entered the 2012 Global RallyCross Championship, driven by four-time Rally America champion Travis Pastrana and his teammates.[33]

Based on the 2013 Dodge Dart, it included a 2.0 L 4-cylinder, 16-valve turbocharged engine rated at 600 hp (447 kW) and over 550 lb⋅ft (746 N⋅m) of torque, and a Sadev four-wheel drive transmission.[34][35] The Dart continued in the 2013 Global RallyCross Championship season, but after Pastrana placed 10th in the driver's standings for both years, Dodge pulled out of the series and he returned to Subaru Rally Team USA in 2014.

The Dart SRT 4 was originally planned for production starting in December 2016, based on the 2014 five-year plan of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) group. However, due to the decision to end production of the Dart, due to poor sales numbers, the SRT 4 version was canceled.[36]

Fiat models

[edit]

The Fiat Viaggio ("journey", "voyage" in English), also called fēi xíang (菲翔), is a sedan version of the Dodge Dart for the Chinese market, designed by the Fiat Group Style Centre in Turin, Italy. A 1.4 L T-Jet engine producing 120 PS (88 kW) or 150 PS (110 kW), was available paired to a 5-speed manual or 6-speed dual clutch gearbox for 2012 and 2013. A 7-speed Dual Dry Clutch gearbox was standard from 2015 to 2017.[37]

The Viaggio was unveiled at the 2012 Beijing International Auto Show, and went on sale in the third quarter 2012,[38][39] with delivery by the end of 2012.[40]

The Fiat Ottimo is a 5-door hatchback version of the Viaggio for the Chinese market. It was introduced at 2013 Guangzhou Auto Show and was designed by Roberto Giolito.[41] The Ottimo offers the same engine and gearboxes that comes standard in the Viaggio.[42]

Production

[edit]

The Dart was manufactured at Chrysler's Belvidere Assembly Plant,[43][25][44] where the Dodge Caliber (2006-2011), Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot, the first & second generation Dodge Neon (1995-2005) and Dodge Neon SRT4 (2003-2005) were all manufactured.[citation needed]

The Dart used a modified variant of the Fiat Compact Platform,[45] shared with the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, widened by 1.5 in (38 mm) and lengthened by 3.7 in (94 mm) to its wheelbase — creating the Compact U.S. Wide (CUSW) platform. The modified platform, adapted to U.S. requirements and subsequently redesignated the PF platform, was designed over approximately 18 months at a cost of US$1 billion.[46]

Marketing

[edit]

In July 2012, the first television advertisement for the Dodge Dart aired during the broadcast of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, featuring the bassline from Kanye West's "No Church in the Wild", a spoof on the Reliant Robin and a cameo by NFL's Tom Brady.[47]

In May 2013, the Dodge Dart was marketed as a tie-in to promote the film Fast & Furious 6, despite not appearing on the film. The car appears in Fast & Furious 6 : The Game.[48]

Discontinuation

[edit]

On January 27, 2016, Fiat Chrysler announced the end of Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 production to redirect its focus towards crossover vehicles. A plan to move production from its Belvidere Assembly Plant to Mexico was in the works but later scrapped.

The Dart ended production on September 2, 2016, after failing to meet sales expectations.[49] A revived Dodge Neon based on the Fiat Tipo replaced it in the Mexican market.[50]

During a press conference held at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show, FCA President Sergio Marchionne said: "I can tell you right now that both the Chrysler 200 and the Dodge Dart, as great products as they were, were the least financially rewarding enterprises that we've carried out inside FCA in the last eight years," adding "I don't know one investment that was as bad as these two were."[51]

The Dart's discontinuation has attributed to declining sales of passenger cars in general and particularly in the compact car segment. Moreover, there was shift in consumer preference towards SUVs and trucks which made the automaker focus on more profitable Jeep and Ram models. There was no reason to continue building a low-priced compact sedan that needed incentives such as interest-free financing to attract customers when buyers looked forward to higher-priced Jeeps with profit-driving high-end trims and option packages.[52] The Dart's domestic competitors, the Chevrolet Cruze and Ford Focus, also suffered steep drops in sales, in contrast to Japanese models such as the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla whose sales declined much more gradually during the shift towards SUVs. FCA's decision not to replace the Dart and 200 in favor of more crossover vehicles would later prove to be justified when Ford Motor Company announced in 2018 it was ending production of all non-truck vehicles except the Ford Mustang in North America, followed by the paring down of other passenger car models from other automakers.[53]

During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, some remaining Dart models were sold to customers due to production issues of other models as a result of the pandemic.[54]

Sales

[edit]

Sales of the Viaggio and Ottimo ended in September 2017 due to low sales performance, recording only 1,623 Viaggio and 650 Ottimo cars sold during its ending year of production.[55][56]

Dodge Dart (PF)

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
The Dodge Dart (PF) was a front-engine, front-wheel-drive compact sedan produced by the Dodge division of Chrysler (later FCA) from the 2013 to 2016 model years. Reviving a nameplate dormant since 1976, it marked the first U.S.-market Dodge vehicle built on Fiat-derived architecture following Chrysler's 2009 bankruptcy and 2010 merger with Fiat, utilizing the Compact U.S. Wide (CUS-wide) platform—internally designated PF—shared with the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. Assembled at the Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois, the Dart offered trim levels including SE, SXT, Rallye, Aero, Limited, and GT and emphasized fuel efficiency, safety, and connectivity in the competitive compact segment. Production ceased in September 2016 amid declining sales of 29,079 units through mid-year (down 41% from the prior year) and FCA's strategic pivot to high-margin trucks and SUVs, with the plant retooled for expanded Jeep Cherokee output at a cost of $350 million. Development of the Dodge Dart (PF) began in , blending Dodge's performance heritage with Fiat's engineering expertise to create a modern compact aimed at young buyers. The platform incorporated 68% high-strength steel for enhanced rigidity and crash protection, resulting in a curb weight starting at around 3,200 pounds and class-leading rear-seat legroom of 35.2 inches. Unveiled at the 2012 North American International Auto Show, it debuted with three four-cylinder Tigershark engines: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated unit producing 160 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque (EPA-rated 25 mpg city/36 mpg highway with the six-speed manual); a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine delivering 160 hp and 184 lb-ft (27/39 mpg); and, from late 2012, a 2.4-liter 2 variant with 184 hp. Transmission options included a six-speed manual, six-speed automatic, or six-speed dual dry-clutch automatic (DDCT), with an Aero trim added in late 2012 targeting over 41 mpg highway via aerodynamic tweaks and low-rolling-resistance tires. Safety and technology features positioned the Dart as a standout in its class, earning a five-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Standard equipment included 10 airbags, electronic stability control, and antilock brakes, while higher trims offered optional blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-path detection, and adaptive cruise control. The interior featured Dodge's Uconnect system with an available 8.4-inch touchscreen for navigation, Bluetooth, and voice commands, complemented by a 7-inch thin-film transistor (TFT) gauge cluster for customizable displays. Performance-oriented GT models added sport-tuned suspension, Brembo brakes, and 18-inch wheels, achieving 0-60 mph in about 7.7 seconds. Despite positive reviews for its handling and value—starting at $15,995 for the SE trim—the Dart struggled commercially, with total U.S. sales of approximately 300,000 units peaking at 83,923 in 2013 before falling to under 20,000 by 2016. Critics noted its Italian-influenced ride as firmer than rivals like the or , potentially alienating American buyers, alongside early reliability concerns from the Fiat-sourced components. The model's discontinuation reflected broader industry trends away from sedans, though it left a niche legacy among enthusiasts for its tunable platform and aftermarket support, with some units still sold as late as 2025 from remaining inventory.

History and Development

Origins

The nameplate, dormant since the discontinuation of the original compact model in 1976, was revived in for a new front-wheel-drive sedan, chosen to leverage the badge's legacy of performance, value, and popularity in Dodge's from 1960 to 1976. This decision drew on the Dart's status as one of Corporation's most successful nameplates during its era, evoking a sense of heritage while signaling Dodge's return to the competitive compact segment. Following Fiat's investment in a 35% stake of Chrysler in 2009, forming the Chrysler-Fiat , development of the new Dart began around 2010 as the first major product of the partnership, intended to fill the gap left by the aging compact hatchback. The project evolved from an earlier concept, adapting it to share Fiat's Compact U.S. Wide (CUSW) architecture, a stretched and widened variant of the platform underlying the . Chrysler invested nearly $700 million to retool the in for production, including a new body shop to support the CUSW platform's implementation across Fiat and Chrysler models like the Fiat Viaggio. Design and engineering efforts emphasized European influences, particularly from the , whose and handling dynamics served as a foundational benchmark for the Dart's chassis tuning to achieve responsive road manners suited for the American market. This collaboration integrated Fiat's lightweight materials and structural efficiencies with Chrysler's packaging expertise, resulting in a vehicle positioned as Dodge's first contemporary compact sedan. The model was formally unveiled at the 2012 in on January 9, marking a pivotal moment in the alliance's product strategy.

Launch

The Dodge Dart (PF) made its world debut on January 9, 2012, at the 2012 in Detroit, Michigan, marking the first major product from the Chrysler-Fiat alliance. The event highlighted the sedan's blend of 's performance heritage with Fiat's compact platform engineering, positioning it as a fresh entry in the segment. Alongside the production model, Dodge showcased early previews of performance-oriented variants, including the Rallye trim with sport-tuned suspension and visual enhancements to appeal to enthusiasts. Production of the 2013 model year Dart commenced on May 7, 2012, at the Group's in , following a $600 million investment in facility upgrades. The first customer-bound vehicles rolled off the line shortly after, enabling initial deliveries to U.S. dealerships in June 2012. This rapid ramp-up allowed the Dart to reach showrooms as a 2013 model ahead of the typical fall rollout for new vehicles. At launch, the Dart's base SE trim carried a starting U.S. manufacturer's suggested retail price of $15,995, emphasizing affordability in a competitive market. Dodge strategically positioned the vehicle as a value-driven compact sedan, targeting buyers seeking style, efficiency, and handling superior to rivals like the and , while leveraging the revived Dart nameplate from the brand's era.

Design and Features

Platform and Body

The Dodge Dart (PF) was built on the Compact U.S. Wide (CUSW) platform, a front-wheel-drive derived from Group's design and adapted for North American markets by lengthening and widening it from the Giulietta's base. This platform, later designated PF, featured a of 106.4 inches, providing a stable foundation for the sedan's handling and interior packaging.

Marketing efforts included targeted incentives to stimulate demand, such as cash rebates of up to $2,000 on 2014 models, alongside low-interest financing options like 0% APR for 36 months, aimed at making the Dart more competitive against rivals like the and . Social media initiatives, including the "Darting Across the Country" campaign, encouraged and virtual test drives to engage online communities, while internal programs like the "Dart Smart Challenge" educated employees on the vehicle's features for promotion. The campaign primarily targeted multicultural urban and Generation Y buyers, emphasizing the Dart's bold styling, advanced Uconnect infotainment, and agile handling derived from the platform to attract younger drivers prioritizing tech-savvy, expressive vehicles over traditional economy cars. A bilingual Spanish/English ad featuring musician Pitbull reinforced this demographic focus, portraying the Dart as an energetic, urban lifestyle choice with customizable options for . Despite the hype around its Italian-inspired engineering, the Dart faced criticism for underdelivering on promised refinement, with reviewers noting that while the offered engaging dynamics, the overall build quality, engine noise, and interior materials fell short of expectations, leading to perceptions of an overhyped product that prioritized marketing flair over consistent execution.

Sales Figures

The Dodge Dart (PF) achieved total U.S. sales of 298,688 units over its production run from to 2016. Annual figures showed steady performance initially, with 83,388 units sold in , rising slightly to 83,858 in , and peaking at 87,392 in before declining sharply to 44,050 in 2016. In the competitive compact sedan segment, the Dart captured a modest , typically ranking outside the top five models and trailing leaders like the and , which each sold over 200,000 units annually during this period.

In , where the Dart was marketed as the Viaggio sedan and Ottimo , sales peaked early but declined rapidly. The Viaggio reached 43,922 units in , while the Ottimo sold 24,168 that year, but both models saw sharp drops thereafter, with combined sales falling to 2,273 units (1,623 Viaggio and 650 Ottimo) by 2017. Post-production inventory clearances extended sales beyond 2016, with 386 units moved in 2018, followed by 16 in 2019, five in 2020, and 10 in 2021. Sporadic "" sales from remaining dealer stock continued, including one unit in 2024 and six in the third quarter of 2025 alone—a 500% increase from the prior year's total for the model. Sales were supported by aggressive incentives, including up to $10,000 off MSRP in to clear inventory, though the model's poor —depreciating 44% over three years for 2016 examples—deterred long-term buyer interest and contributed to weak used-market performance.

Discontinuation

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) announced in July 2016 that production of the Dodge Dart would cease at the Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois by the end of September 2016, with the final units rolling off the line on September 16. This decision followed an earlier indication from CEO Sergio Marchionne in January 2016 that the Dart, along with the Chrysler 200, would be phased out to reallocate resources toward more profitable segments like trucks and SUVs. Marchionne described the Dart as one of FCA's "least financially rewarding enterprises," citing uncompetitive production costs stemming from its Fiat-derived platform and insufficient sales volume to achieve economies of scale. The Dart's discontinuation was driven by persistent low profitability, as annual U.S. sales fell short of targets needed to justify its development and tooling costs, peaking at just 87,392 units in before dropping to around 44,000 in 2016. This underperformance was exacerbated by shifting consumer preferences toward SUVs and crossovers, prompting FCA to prioritize high-margin vehicles like the , which repurposed the Belvidere plant after retooling. Overall, the model incurred significant losses for FCA due to high warranty claims, quality issues, and a lack of market appeal in a segment dominated by rivals like the and . Following the U.S. production halt, FCA cleared over 11,600 units of unsold Dart inventory through aggressive dealer incentives and discounts of up to $10,000 per vehicle, allowing sales to continue into despite no new builds. The Dart had no direct successor in the U.S. market, reflecting FCA's strategic pivot away from compact sedans. However, in and , Dodge relaunched the nameplate in as a replacement, based on the related Fiat Tipo platform to serve regional demand for affordable compacts. The PF platform itself was discontinued for Dodge applications but lived on in international Fiat variants, such as the Egea sedan produced in until at least 2025, indirectly influencing subsequent FCA compact designs through shared engineering elements like modular powertrains. This legacy underscored the Dart's role as a bridge between and technologies, though its U.S. failure highlighted challenges in adapting European platforms to North American tastes. In October 2025, recalled all approximately 298,000 produced U.S. Dart units due to a transmission shifter cable defect that could cause the to roll away when parked, posing a safety risk even after a previous 2019 recall.
