The Dart Aero manages an EPA-estimate of 28/41 mpg City/Highway, that highway figure being particularly impressive.

The Dart Aero model offers excellent fuel economy when cruising on the highway, but gas-mileage figures for the rest of the lineup are not compelling. The base engine lacks any spirit and does not live up to the sportiness of the rest of the car, however. We have found the Dart drives well and delivers on the promise of sporty handling. Otherwise, the Dart carries over largely unchanged. For 2016, a new Sport Appearance Hood is optional for Dart GT and Dart SXT models with either a Rallye or Blacktop package. ![]() The Dart, a front-wheel-drive sport compact, joined the Dodge lineup for the 2013 model year.
