Belevidere, IL
The Dodge Caliber is a fun, well-rounded package, combining the versatility of a sport utility vehicle with the value and fuel-efficiency of a compact car.
The Caliber offers a choice of four front-wheel drive trim levels: SE, SXT, R/T and SRT4. The SE and SXT trims are equipped with a 148-hp 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine; a 158-hp 2.0-liter engine is also available. The R/T is driven by a powerful 172-hp 2.4-liter engine. All are available with a 5-speed manual transmission or a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The SRT4 boasts a 285-hp 2.4-liter turbocharged engine, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. Standard safety features include multi-stage front airbags, an inflatable driver knee blocker and side curtain airbags for front and rear occupants; an electronic stability control system is standard on the SRT4 and optional on SXT and R/T trims.
For 2009, the Dodge Caliber carries over with minimal changes. All trims get upgraded standard audio systems with MP3 playback; R/T and SRT4 trims are further equipped with a 6-disc CD player and DVD-audio capability, and the MyGIG multimedia system with navigation is now available as an option. Additionally, the R/T trim is no longer offered in an all-wheel drive configuration.
