Is the 2015 Dodge Dart fast?

The 2015 Dodge Dart is not considered a particularly fast or high-performance vehicle. While it offers some sporty styling and handling, the Dart's engine options and overall performance capabilities are more geared towards efficiency and everyday drivability rather than outright speed.


Engine and Performance Specifications


The 2015 Dodge Dart was available with three different engine options:



  • 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine producing 160 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque

  • 1.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque

  • 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine producing 184 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque


While the turbocharged 1.4-liter and larger 2.4-liter engines provide more power, the Dart's 0-60 mph acceleration times are still in the 8-9 second range, which is on the slower side for a compact sedan. The Dart's top speed is also limited, with most models topping out around 120-130 mph.


Handling and Driving Dynamics


The 2015 Dodge Dart does offer some sporty handling characteristics, with a well-tuned suspension and responsive steering. However, it is not considered a high-performance sports car. The Dart is more focused on providing a comfortable, efficient, and practical driving experience rather than outright speed and acceleration.


Comparison to Other Compact Sedans


When compared to other compact sedans on the market in 2015, the Dodge Dart's performance capabilities were generally on the lower end of the spectrum. Competitors like the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Mazda3 offered quicker acceleration and higher top speeds, especially in their sportier trim levels.


In summary, the 2015 Dodge Dart is not considered a fast or high-performance vehicle. While it has some sporty styling and handling characteristics, its engine options and overall performance are more geared towards efficiency and everyday drivability rather than outright speed and acceleration.
