For its new compact car, Dodge has decided to revive the Dart nameplate. It’s also going to be using a stretched and widened Alfa Romeo Giulietta platform - known as Compact U.S. Wide (CUSW) - to underpin it, emphasising the ever-closer links between Fiat and Chrysler Group products.

The 2013 Dart is due to be revealed at next month’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit, but in the meantime a few images have been released by Dodge as part of a teaser campaign.

These show the trademark crosshairs front grille, flanked by distinctive projector headlights. At the back, there’s a Charger-inspired ‘racetrack’ LED light array and prominent dual exhausts.

For the interior, decent soft-touch materials are promised, while an 8.4” Uconnect touch screen and a customisable Thin Film Transistor (TFT) gauge cluster will be available. The Dart gets ten airbags as standard, and it’s claimed to have best-in-class hip and shoulder room.

A choice of three four-cylinder petrol engines is going to be offered, two of which come with Fiat’s MultiAir valvegear technology for significantly improved fuel consumption and emissions.
