The 2014 Dodge Dart comes in snazzy new colors and features a powertrain update.
The new model has a 184-horsepower, 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine with a six-speed transmission that can be manual or automatic, according to ConsumerReports.
The updated Dodge Dart, which debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, also has interior changes for passenger comfort.
ConsumerReports described the new model as a "noticeably nicer car" with a "considerably smoother" engine and transmission compared with its predecessor.
The Dodge brand expanded its Blacktop packages to the Dart, following fellow Dodge models Charger, Challenger, Avenger, Journey and Grand Caravan.
The Blacktop package includes Gloss Black wheels and other exterior touches as well as select exterior paint colors, said a Dodge press release.
Available colors include Redline Red, Header Orange, Blue Streak, Granite Crystal Metallic, Billet Silver, Pitch Black and Bright White.
"The Blacktops have become a signature of sorts for the Dodge Brand," Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand president and CEO, said in a press release. "With the addition of the Blacktop package for the Dodge Dart, we're adding to our line-up of vehicles that offer the more aggressive look that has become so popular with our customers."
Based on the 2014 Dart SXT model, the new Blacktop package includes Gloss Black mirrors and 18-inch Gloss Black aluminum wheels.
The Dart already featured "Gloss Black mask and split crosshair grille, dark-tinted projector headlamps, projector fog lamps, integrated dual exhaust, LED racetrack tail lamps, leather-wrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth and more," according to the press release.
ConsumerReports tested out a mainstream SXT version with the Rallye Appearance Package, adding an 8.4-Inch Uconnect Touch Screen Group and the automatic transmission along with a few other features, which came to $22,025.
