Dodge Caliber

Dodge Caliber has been manufactured with bold looks and exceptional fuel efficient with wheels that feature a five-hole pattern and a 114.3 mm bolt circle.

“Every corner of Caliber makes a statement. The fact that every single piece of fascia is body-coloured says something,” PHC Motors said.

The Caliber has a five-door hatchback body, but because of its bulkier appearance, can also be considered both a station wagon or a crossover.

The Caliber concept features styling elements derivative of larger Dodge vehicles, such as a crosshair grille, rough border angles and flared fenders.

The Dodge Caliber offers a continuously variable transmission (dubbed CVT2 by Dodge) and uses a four-cylinder 1.8-2.4 L GEMA gasoline engine, designed jointly by Chrysler, Mitsubishi, and Hyundai.

The car also features an optional electronically-controlled all-wheel drive system with variable torque at speeds of 25 to 65 mph (40 to 105 km/h) for optimal handling.
The Dodge Caliber is a compact car produced by the Dodge division of Chrysler. It replaced the Neon, and went on sale in the spring of 2006 as a 2007 model year vehicle.

After Chrysler began a strategic alliance with Fiat Motors in early 2010, the company announced that the Caliber will be replaced by a second generation starting 2012.

The next generation of the Caliber is planned to feature a nine-speed automatic transmission starting 2013.

Currently, it remains the smallest and the least expensive vehicle of the whole brand which sells well in the United States and Canada, despite poor quality/value ratio on foreign markets.

The Caliber is an important vehicle for Chrysler in its quest to expand globally. The Caliber was one of Dodge's first modern offerings in Europe. Dodge also introduced the Caliber as part of its launch lineup in Asian markets such as Japan and Singapore, as it established new distribution channels there.
