The combination of its profoundly powerful engines and the advanced engineering of its transmission offerings make Caliber a little more than just a pretty face. It's a complex machine that just might turn the everyday driver into a gear-head as they experience a whole new kind of acceleration and exceptionally smooth power.
Shift quickly and easily between gears and feel how the GETRAG® six-speed manual transmission unleashes the soul of the Caliber SRT4® offering up faster acceleration, handling and precision.
The available Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is designed to assist drivers in maintaining control of their vehicle during extreme steering maneuvers. ESP senses when a vehicle is starting to spin (oversteer) or plow (understeer), and attempts to correct the vehicle's course by automatically controlling the throttle and applying the brakes at individual wheels. The control you'll feel is astonishing.
Caliber offers driver confidence with exceptional braking and ride characteristics. Large available four-wheel disc antilock brakes are designed to help provide added traction in slippery conditions. An independent front suspension coupled with power rack-and-pinion steering helps Caliber stick to the road.
The Cat Back Exhaust System from Mopar® is a performance feature that supplies Caliber with power, torque gain and a deeper tone.

Caliber offers a full range of looks inside, from sophisticated Dark Slate Gray and Pebble Beige cloth with or without Stain Repel, or leather trim, to a Sport Appearance Interior that amps up Caliber seating with red, orange or blue inserts. Seats in this vehicle work extra hard to accommodate, with fold-flat seating, second-row reclining seats, available heated seats and variable height seating that personalizes the cockpit experience, giving all drivers an optimum view of the road.
An advanced cloth fabric with Stain Repel withstands spot cleaning — even repeatedly in the same location — to maintain your seat's like-new color and texture over time.
Just sit there and enjoy the ride while Caliber's seats are hard at work optimizing your comfort. Regardless of your height, the driver seat adapts to ensure excellent road visibility. The front seats are heated, while rear-seat passengers can recline to improve comfort and headroom.
Caliber lights up with an ambient light kit by Mopar® which offers pointed LED lighting and floor lights that add a soft glow.

It looks sassy, and for good reason. Smart styling joins forces with superb handling and an enviable selection of engines that bring a level of fun to any highway. In short, it looks as sporty as it feels. Caliber sits there, chrome gleaming, barely restrained in its anxious crouch, egging you on to simply fulfill its destiny and tear up yet another new highway, find another great road trip, make another memory. Five doors locked and loaded and you're on your way. Transport yourself, your gear and a few friends. And when people ask, and they will, the enthusiasm will be genuine when you say, "I love my car."
A tasty flash of chrome gives Caliber extra street cred, and the premium 5-spoke 17-inch painted aluminum wheels by Mopar® deliver just that.
Look at the Dodge Caliber and the first thing you'll do is start planning all the ways this versatile five-door will improve your shopping, vacation and adventure plans. Pop open the rear liftgate and stow cargo like you never could in a sedan.
Replace the standard fuel filler door with a Mopar® chrome fuel-filler door that gives Caliber a little extra shine and a lot of attitude.

Its looks alone will turn enough heads, but when you factor in the power of its sound, Caliber will downright cause a scene. Roll with Caliber's available 458-watt Boston Acoustics® nine-speaker MusicGate Power® sound system with subwoofer, and get the ultimate in surround sound. The rear articulating speakers swing down from the opened liftgate, so the music is yours to enjoy even after you've put it in park. With Digital Signal Processing, the sound is so clean it will be impossible to ever settle for anything less than this level of natural sound reproduction. We think you'll agree that this is one option you really have to listen to.
When thirst calls, the standard Chill Zone® cooled beverage storage bin keeps four chilled 330-ml bottles or cans at the ready. And set them where you can see them, in the illuminated cup holders located up front.
The brightly lit rear cargo area lamp performs double duty as a removable, rechargeable LED flashlight.

Dodge Caliber looks like it has nothing but playtime on its mind, but don’t be fooled, it has a serious side as well. For your protection, Caliber is equipped with standard advanced multistage airbags[1] for the driver and front passenger and supplemental side-curtain airbags[1] for front and rear outboard occupants, as well as available seat-mounted side airbags[1]for added protection to the driver and front passenger.

In addition, a combination of strengthened materials and engineered crush zones have been designed to divert and dissipate energy in the event of impact, helping Dodge Caliber protect its precious cargo.

The available Electronic Stability Program[1] (ESP) is designed to assist drivers in maintaining control of their vehicle during extreme steering maneuvers. ESP senses when a vehicle is starting to spin (oversteer) or plow (understeer), and attempts to correct the vehicle's course by automatically controlling the throttle and applying the brakes at individual wheels. The control you’ll feel is astonishing.

An important aspect of ESP, Caliber’s traction control system, is tuned for on-road activity during normal operation. When wheel spin occurs, the system maintains traction by applying the brakes and in some cases closing the throttle to minimize spin during acceleration.

A precaution that offers peace of mind, Caliber's Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts the driver to low-pressure tires via a warning light in the instrument cluster. With the available premium system, individual tire pressure is displayed on the available Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).

Caliber's handy key fob offers peace of mind every time you approach the vehicle, performing a multitude of functions including keyless / illuminated entry. The standard security alarm system and Sentry Key® deter theft and vandalism by immobilizing the engine – and can even lower your insurance premium.
