We're big fans of the Dodge Dart here at Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Santa Fe, and we aren't the only ones who can't stop raving about this great sedan. It has won a spate of awards from highly regarded sources, including 'Editors Choice' awards and spots on 'Coolest Cars' lists. While these awards are nice and good to brag about, some matter more than others, which is why we're thrilled to share that this model from our new vehicle lineup has also earned top safety ratings.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) named the 2013 Dart a Top Safety Pick+. The "+" designation verifies that it has achieved the highest honor possible, as it did well in both tests that the agency puts all vehicles through. The Dart earned a rating of "good" on each of the following impact tests: rear, side, and moderate-overlap, and got the same score in the rollover test.
This compact car also got a 5-Star Safety Rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), so we can safely say that the Dart is one of the safest cars on Santa Fe, NM roads today.
How does the Dart achieve all of this? Well, with more than 60 advanced safety features and a 68 percent high-strength-steel content ratio, it's actually incredibly easy. This kind of peace of mind doesn't come with a high price tag, either, as the Dart starts at just $15,995 MSRP.
