What kind of transmission is in a 2015 Dodge Dart?
The 2015 Dodge Dart uses two types of transmissions, depending on the engine and trim: a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic. Both are conventional, non-CVT designs.
To help you identify the exact gearbox in a specific vehicle, this article outlines the two options and how they were paired with the available engines in the 2015 model year.
Transmission options
Before listing the two gearbox options, note that the Dart’s lineup offered two 6-speed transmissions that could be found across different trims and engines. The following descriptions cover the typical setups you would encounter on a 2015 Dart.
- 6-speed manual transmission: A traditional manual gearbox, commonly paired with the 2.0L Tigershark I4, and sometimes offered with the 2.4L on select configurations.
- 6-speed automatic transmission: A conventional torque-converter automatic, available across most trims with either engine and often standard on higher trims.
In summary, the 2015 Dodge Dart was equipped with one of two 6-speed transmissions rather than a CVT or a different class. Vehicle-specific documentation, such as the window sticker or owner’s manual, will confirm which gearbox is installed on a given Dart.
Summary
The 2015 Dodge Dart relied on 6-speed transmissions: a manual and a traditional 6-speed automatic, with the choice driven by engine (2.0L or 2.4L) and trim level. No CVT was offered for this model year.
