Dodge Dart Earns Top Safety Pick

Amongst the numerous rave reviews and an upward sales swing, there’s another honor that the 2013 Dodge Dart gets to wear now. The US government has given the vehicle the highest rating in the five-star rating program.

Proving that safety was a major concern for the designers of the Dart, the sedan has passed with flying colors. It received five stars in the front crash test category, five starts in the side crash test category, and four starts in the rollover crash category.

In case you still weren’t’ convinced of the safety of the Dart, then the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety should help that. The Dart earned their Top Safety Pick as well. In order to obtain that, the car must earn good performance in moderate overlap frontal, side, rollover, and rear impact crash tests done by the IIHS.

The safety suite that the Dart boosts includes 10 standard airbags, reactive front head restraints. There’s even optional Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection. With all the combination of ways the Dart is designed to keep you safe, it’s no surprise that it’s the safest vehicle in its class.
