The 2009 Dodge Caliber is a 4-door, 5-passenger wagon, available in SE, SXT, R/T, and high-performance SRT4 trim levels. For 2009, the Dodge Caliber all-wheel-drive R/T model makes an exit. Otherwise, this compact hatchback is largely unchanged for 2009. The spirited Dodge Caliber combines powerful engines and advanced transmissions to deliver a new experience of acceleration and seamless power. Dodge offers a 3-year / 36,000-mile Basic Limited Warranty with bumper-to-bumper coverage, from the body to the electrical; and a Lifetime Powertrain Limited Warranty to cover the powertrain.
All Dodge Caliber trims receive 4-cylinder engines and come with front-wheel drive. The Caliber SE and SXT get a 148-hp 1.8-liter engine when teamed with a 5-speed manual and a 158-hp 2.0-liter engine when equipped with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The Caliber R/T is powered by a 172-hp 2.4-liter and comes only with the CVT. The SRT4 gets a turbocharged 285-hp 2.4 and a 6-speed manual. EPA fuel economy rates at 24/30 mpg (city/highway) on the 1.8L engine with the 5-speed manual. The Caliber engine has a "throaty growl" when pushed hard on a highway.
