Connected World Magazine announced its 2014 Connected Cars of the Year Awards in the February/March issue of Connected World Magazine and the 2014 Dodge Dart received top honors in the small car category for its class-leading Uconnect system. The award goes to vehicles that strike the right balance between safety and innovation.

The Uconnect’s 8.4 inch touchscreen is the centerpiece of the Dart’s interior, melding real time navigation and information with entertainment in a world-class package. The Uconnect includes not only AM/FM, CD and audio port but includes a year of SiriusXM®, Bluetooth music streaming, remote USB port and SD card reader. The Uconnect has an intuitive design that is easy to use with or without voice command and rides the forefront of technology.

Garmin® Navigation and SiriusXM Travel Link™ provide up-to-the-minute travel information, movie listings, traffic, weather, gas prices and more. The 7 inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) LED digital gauge cluster display is fully customizable. The driver can change the appearance of the speedometer and other gauges and program the display to show ...
... turn-by-turn directions right on the dash panel so the driver never has to lose sight of the road.

Voice Command lets the driver control the entertainment and navigation systems as well as Bluetooth connected phones easily for complete distraction less driving. Dodge beats its nearest competitors with 60 safety and security features on the 2014 Dodge Dart. With class topping 10 air bags, rear cross-path detection and blind spot monitoring the Dodge Dart was named one of the top safety picks of 2013 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

The features on the new Dart just keep coming. In addition to cross-path detection, backup cameras and rear park assist, the dart also offers keyless entry and start, intelligent headlamps, rain detecting wipers and accident avoidance systems like electronic stability control. The features and technology package offered in the 2014 Dodge Dart is game changing with systems previously reserved for the high end market now made available for every segment of the vehicle buying public.

The sport tuned suspension and sleek aerodynamic styling combine with an immersive driving experience to make the Dart a fun, exciting ride; and for its price tag, the 2014 Dodge Dart delivers outstanding value. With starting MRP of $15,995 for the 2.4L Tigershark Engine and as much interior room as some midsized sedans, the Dart brings a new level of connectivity to the small car market.

"The Connected Car of the Year Award is confirmation from a third-party source that the Dodge Dart is at the forefront of technology in its class. The Dart's Uconnect system with the 8.4-inch touch screen is world class, intuitive and easy to use,” said Tim Kuniskis, President and CEO of Dodge. “When you add the Dart's unsurpassed in its class 10 air bags, 7-inch TFT LED instrument cluster and available Rear Cross Path detection and blind-spot monitoring, it really does offer the latest high-tech features designed to keep our customers connected and all at a tremendous value.”
