The Dodge Dart: A compact car with some wiggle room!

"I don't design cars I don't fit into."

I bet for most designers in the auto industry, that's not a bold statement.

But for 6'7" Chrysler Group Head of Interior Design Klaus Busse (above, in the back seat of a 2013 Dodge Dart) that's saying something.

The 2013 Dodge Dart has more of a "design package," Busse said. That design package, which means using multiple teams within Chrysler Group to look at the entire interior experience for owners, is the result of a close working relationship between the interior and exterior design, engineering and program teams for each vehicle.

It's the true team approach that resulted in many features in the Dodge Dart that are uncommon in most compact cars. Below is a quick look at one of the more noticeable features of the new Dart: the interior of a mid-size sedan in a compact car.

           

 

 

The comparisons are just a selection based on data from each automaker’s website. So, we're not answering our headline question with a yes, but let's just say, the Dart is darn roomy.
