The 2015 Dodge Dart was named "Best Value" and, for the 10th year running, the 2015 Chrysler Town & Country was named “Best Family Hauler” by the panel. This year, 1,033 readers of The Detroit News applied to be a panelist to select their favorite vehicle in each of 10 categories. The final 100 jurors were chosen at random from all who applied. The awards were presented today during the Detroit Economic Club luncheon at Cobo Center.

2015 Dodge Dart – Best Value Award

The 2015 Dodge Dart provides drivers an athletic, stylish exterior design punctuated with signature race track LED tail lamps; a modern, sleek interior design that's well-crafted with high-quality materials and attention to detail; more than 60 safety and security features, including 10 standard air bags; state-of-the-art, easy-to-use technology and ride and handling dynamics engineered for the driver who loves to drive. The 2015 Dodge Dart starts at a U.S. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $16,495 (excluding $995 destination).


In addition to the "Best Value" award, the Dodge Dart tops the compact car segment in total quality, according to the 2014 Strategic Vision Total Quality Index.
“Consumers can choose from more than 290 models when looking at cars on the auto show floor,” said Tim Kuniskis, President and Chief Executive Officer - Dodge Brand and SRT Brand, FCA - North America. “So the fact that the consumers on The Detroit News panel chose the Dodge Dart as the best value at the auto show is quite an honor and third-party validation that the state-of-the-art high tech features, class-leading safety and outstanding ride and handling make the 2015 Dodge Dart a tremendous value.”
