Is the 2013 Dodge Dart 2.0 turbo?

No. The 2013 Dodge Dart did not offer a 2.0-liter turbo engine. The turbo option in that year was a 1.4-liter MultiAir Turbo available on certain sport-oriented trims, while other Dart models used naturally aspirated 2.0L or 2.4L engines.


To understand why, it helps to review the Dart’s engine lineup for the 2013 model year. In the United States, three engines were available, and none of them was a 2.0L turbo. The only turbocharged option was the 1.4L MultiAir Turbo, paired with either a manual or automatic transmission, depending on the trim.


Engine lineup for the 2013 Dodge Dart


Here are the engine options that were available in 2013 for the Dart, including approximate power and torque figures where applicable.



  • 2.0L Tigershark I4 — about 160 horsepower and around 147–148 lb-ft of torque; naturally aspirated.

  • 2.4L Tigershark I4 — about 184 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque; naturally aspirated.

  • 1.4L MultiAir Turbo I4 — about 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque; turbocharged.


The 2.0L engine was offered as a naturally aspirated option, while the 2.4L remained another NA alternative, and the sole turbo option was the 1.4L MultiAir Turbo.


Turbo availability by trim


For shoppers curious about which trims could be equipped with turbo power, here is the gist: the only turbocharged engine available in the 2013 Dart was the 1.4L MultiAir Turbo. There was no factory 2.0L turbo offered in that year’s Dart lineup.



  • Turbocharged option: 1.4L MultiAir Turbo; available on select sport-oriented trims and configurations.

  • No 2.0L turbo option: The Dart did not offer a 2.0L turbo engine in 2013.


In practice, customers seeking turbo performance in a 2013 Dart should focus on the 1.4L Turbo variant, while those preferring larger displacement engines would choose between the 2.0L or 2.4L naturally aspirated options.


Performance and efficiency context


The 1.4L Turbo generally delivered strong torque for its size, contributing to quicker acceleration in trims that offered it, while the 2.0L and 2.4L NA engines tended to emphasize a balance of efficiency and power. Transmission choices (manual or automatic) varied by trim and market, affecting overall drive experience and fuel economy.


For buyers today, the key takeaway is clarity on the engine option: there is no 2.0-liter turbo Dart from 2013; if turbo is a priority, the 1.4L MultiAir Turbo is the relevant powertrain for that model year.


Summary


Bottom line: the 2013 Dodge Dart did not include a 2.0 turbo engine. The only turbo option was the 1.4L MultiAir Turbo, while the 2.0L and 2.4L engines were naturally aspirated. If you’re researching this model year, focus on the 1.4L turbo for turbocharged performance and the 2.0L/2.4L options for NA power with different efficiency profiles.
