Go like the wind with the Dodge Dart Aero

2013 Dodge Dart Aero

The Dodge Dart has been around for a little while now. And as the months have gone by, we’re sure that you, like us, have seen the new Dodge out on the road. So you probably have that familiarity with the vehicle. But did you know about the different trim levels that the Dart comes in? One of the more intriguing versions to come out recently is the 2013 Dodge Dart Aero. This is one of the versions that you hear the number 41 associated with – as in 41 MPG on the highway. But what makes this version so efficient? Let’s take a look.

The most obvious aspect of the 2013 Dodge Dart Aero that makes it a fuel efficiency marvel is the engine under the hood. This Dart houses the 1.4-liter MultiAir turbocharged engine. And while it is obviously efficient, it also has good performance numbers. We’re talking 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque good.

Other than the efficiency of the engine itself, the 2013 Dodge Dart Aero also has features like the active grille shutter system. In certain driving situations, the shutters close to create a more aerodynamic front end – thus saving fuel. Similarly, the underbody panels of the Dart Aero are smooth to allow air to freely flow beneath the vehicle. The combination of these two features allows the car to be a free-flowing aerodynamic marvel.

Adding to the efficiency of the 2013 Dodge Dart Aero is the fact that the engine is paired with a six-speed transmission. The six speeds allow for an easier transition into gears, saving even more fuel. And automotive purists will appreciate that this version of the car also comes with a manual transmission.
