How do I tell what model my Dodge Dart is?

To determine the model of your Dodge Dart, you can look for several key identifying features on the vehicle. The Dodge Dart has been produced in various trim levels and configurations over the years, so knowing the specific details can help you pinpoint the exact model.


Check the Exterior Badging


One of the easiest ways to identify your Dodge Dart model is to look for the badging on the exterior of the vehicle. The Dart name and model designation are typically displayed on the rear of the car, as well as on the front grille or fenders. Common Dart model names include SE, SXT, GT, and R/T.


Inspect the Interior Features


The interior of your Dodge Dart can also provide clues about the specific model. Higher-end trims like the GT and R/T may have more premium materials, advanced technology features, and unique interior styling cues compared to the base SE or SXT models.


Check the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)


The VIN, which is a unique 17-digit code assigned to every vehicle, can be used to determine the Dart model. You can typically find the VIN on the driver's side dashboard, the driver's side door jamb, or in the owner's manual. Entering the VIN into an online VIN decoder tool can provide detailed information about your Dart's specifications, including the model.


Consult the Owner's Manual


If you have access to the owner's manual for your Dodge Dart, it should clearly identify the specific model and trim level of your vehicle. The owner's manual can be a valuable resource for understanding the features and capabilities of your Dart.


By using these various methods, you can accurately determine the model of your Dodge Dart and better understand its features and capabilities.
