New 2013 Dodge Dart Special Edition Packages Bring More Equipment and Style

On Wednesday, Dodge announced the availability of two new “Special Edition” packages for the 2013 Dodge Dart and a new Rallye Appearance Group customizing kit. Available on SXT and Limited models, these packages combine features and content that are most frequently ordered by Dart customers.

"Since we launched the all-new Dart last June, we've been able to see how customers are ordering their Darts, and as a result, we have simplified our offerings to meet their requests – allowing us to offer them an even better value in the process," said Tim Kuniskis, president and CEO of the Dodge brand.

Priced at $595 (€463), the 2013 Dodge Dart SXT Special Edition Package combines styling tweaks with additional features compared to the standard SXT model. On the outside, the Special Edition package adds a black crosshair grille, dark tinted projector headlamps, projector fog lamps, LED racetrack tail lamps, an integrated dual exhaust, active grille shutters and underbody aerodynamic treatment.

On the inside, the package brings Uconnect Voice Command with Bluetooth, leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise control, steering-wheel mounted audio controls, front-passenger seat in-seat storage, remote start (with automatic transmission), USB port, rearview auto-dimming mirror with microphone, overhead console with sunglass holder, 12-volt auxiliary power outlet, trip computer, vehicle information center and tire pressure monitoring display.

Along with the SXT Special Edition, Dodge Dart customers can also order the new SXT “Rallye Appearance Group” which consists of a black front fascia, Rallye badge and 17-inch Hyper Black aluminum wheels. The price for this option is $395 (€307).

For $1,810 (€1,410), the Dart “Limited Special Edition” package builds on the standard Limited model by adding features including Nappa Leather seats, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, power sunroof, racetrack LED taillamps, Sirius/XM Satellite radio, Sirius/XM Travel Link, Uconnect 8.4-inch touch screen with Garmin navigation, dual-zone automatic temperature control, remote start and universal garage door opener.
