Well the Dodge Dart isn’t the only Chrysler Group Vehicle that will be using the CUSW platform. Mike Merlo, the Dart’s chief engineer, said that the platform ‘is designed to be both longer and shorter than the Dart, so it will be able to carry all of our C- and D-segment vehicles in the future.’

Check out more news on the Dodge Dart.

Some of the next models that are being tested on the platform are the successor to the Jeep Liberty that will be built at the company’s Toledo North Assembly plant and a Chrysler 100 hatchback that will join the Dodge Dart on the assembly line in Belvidere, Ill.

Both of those models are expected in 2013.
