Big safety on a small car – the 2013 Dodge Dart

The safety of the Dodge Dart begins with the outer construction.

Dodge Dart Safety Features

A vehicle can never be too safe. This is the philosophy of the folks at Dodge, who have obviously put some real strong effort into the 2013 Dodge Dart. And all that hard work paid off recently as the car was named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The new Top Safety Pick+ rating is the highest rating possible – proving the impressive performance of the Dodge Dart safety features. The Top Safety Pick+ rating follows the 5-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, making the Dart one of the few vehicles on the roadway to score the highest on both tests. The Dart scored very well in the rollover, rear, side and moderate-overlap frontal impact tests. What it all means is that for a small car, the Dodge Dart safety features do the work that they need to do for you. We hate to see a Dart smashed, but a crash test is a good cause. The Dodge Dart safety features all start with the body construction, with high-strength steel forming the outer shell of the car. Then, a trip inside reveals more of the safety features that are in place – not that you’ll notice any of them. The dart is equipped with 10 standard air bags, front head restraints and cool new technology like Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection. All of this makes the Dart a model of safety in the small vehicle class. Even the dash of the Dart shows off the outstanding safety features. The Electronic Vehicle Information Center, as it’s called, is able to alert you when a tire goes down or is just low. Little features like this make sure that you don’t have to constantly worry about issues like this. With all the safety features the Dodge Dart offers, drivers and all occupants can feel comfortable taking it anywhere.
