2010 Dodge Caliber reviews & features

Vehicle Overview
The Caliber, a five-seat, four-door hatchback, competes in a class that includes the Saturn Astra, Toyota Matrix and Volkswagen Rabbit. The Caliber comes in SE, SXT and R/T trim levels.

New for 2010
The 2010 Dodge Caliber has a completely redesigned interior, and the high-performance SRT4 trim has been discontinued.

Exterior
The Caliber is clearly a Dodge, thanks to the crosshair grille. The Caliber has very large wheels for a car of its size and class. A black rail that runs from the base of the A-pillars and along the roofline to the taillights tricks the eye into seeing a lower, sleeker shape. Despite the look, the Caliber actually sits a bit higher than most compact cars.

• Standard 15-inch steel wheels with silver-painted wheel covers
• Available 17-inch painted aluminum wheels
• Available 18-inch aluminum or chrome-clad wheels
• Body-colored front and rear bumpers, optional body-colored door handles

Interior
The 2010 Caliber gets a new interior that includes a new instrument panel with a center storage bin, a padded armrest for the center console and soft-touch door-trim panels.

• Standard illuminated cupholder rings
• Standard cloth seats
• Optional upgraded cloth or leather-trimmed seats
• Standard manual door locks, mirrors and windows
• Available power mirrors, locks and windows, with speed-sensitive door locks
• Available beverage-cooling bin
• Available fold-flat front passenger seat
• Optional voice-activated navigation and/or audio system (including touch-screen, voice commands, 30GB hard drive and navigation radio)
• Optional rechargeable flashlight that stows in cargo area

Under the Hood
For 2010, the Caliber has discontinued its 1.8-liter four-cylinder, and now only packs either a 2.0- or 2.4-liter four cylinder engine. The standard 2.0-liter comes with a five-speed manual transmission.

The Caliber is available with a manual or a choice of two continuously variable automatic transmissions. Front disc and rear drum brakes are standard, but all-disc brakes are optional.

• 158-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 141 pounds-feet of torque (standard)
• 172-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 165 pounds-feet of torque (optional)
• Five-speed manual transmission standard
• Optional continuously variable automatic transmission
• Optional CVT with manual-shift provision
