2007-2012

The Dodge Caliber, produced from 2007 to 2012, was a compact hatchback that aimed to blend versatility and affordability. Its standout feature was its unique design, combining elements of a compact car and a small SUV. This design resulted in a spacious interior with ample cargo capacity and tall seating, providing a commanding view of the road. The Caliber offered various trim levels and options, allowing buyers to choose between basic transportation or a more well-equipped model with features like a touchscreen infotainment system. Regarding driving dynamics, the Caliber provided a comfortable and smooth ride for daily commuting. However, it wasn’t known for its sporty performance. The available engines included four-cylinder options, and while they were reasonably fuel-efficient, they didn’t deliver high levels of power. Overall, the Dodge Caliber was an attempt to offer a practical and distinctive compact car, though it faced stiff competition in its segment during its production years.
