“1. Air conditioner compressor is inadequate. Takes way too long to cool car off, must put it on max a to cool off, then fan is way to loud. Need to rework air con system. The car should come with a spare tire. Garage door opener on the rear view mirror would be nice, not a purchase maker but most customers would probably like it.”
2015 Dodge Dart: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2015 Dodge Dart is a light-update model, led by improved Android-phone support for Bluetooth audio streaming and USB music playback. There is no redesign or major mechanical change.
About the 2015 Dodge Dart
First generation (2013-2016), third model year.
Dodge marketed the Dart as a compact sedan that did not feel like a typical economy car. The big selling points were bold Dodge styling, a cabin roomy enough for EPA midsize classification, and more tech than many rivals, especially the available large touchscreen and digital gauge cluster. Depending on trim, Dodge pitched it either as an efficient small sedan, a stronger everyday commuter with the 2.4-liter engine, or a more comfort- or sport-focused compact with extra personality.
The five-trim lineup ranges from the basic SE to the comfort-focused Limited. Aero pairs a turbocharged engine and fuel-saving bodywork with an 8.4-inch touchscreen, GT adds a sport-tuned suspension and heated leather-trimmed seats, and Limited emphasizes comfort with navigation, a sunroof, and dual-zone climate control.

Styling

2015 Dodge Dart
(553 reviews)
“It would be nice to have optional racing tail lights. And also capable of producing some more power, that would be nice.”
“The only thing I miss from an older vehicle and wished my Dart had is heated side mirrors. Very nice convenience to have in the winter. :)”
