Power

The 2011 Dodge Caliber offered three engine options. The base engine was a 1.8-liter inline-four that produced 148 horsepower and 165 lb-ft of torque. It was paired with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission. The mid-level engine was a 2.0-liter inline-four that produced 158 horsepower and 141 lb-ft of torque. It was mated to a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission. The top-of-the-line engine was a 2.4-liter inline-four that produced 172 horsepower and 165 lb-ft of torque. It was paired with a six-speed automatic transmission only. The Caliber's performance varied depending on the engine option. The 1.8-liter engine provided adequate acceleration for everyday driving, but it struggled when the car was fully loaded or when climbing hills. The 2.0-liter engine offered a bit more power and torque, but it was still not particularly quick. The 2.4-liter engine was the most powerful of the three and provided the best acceleration. However, it also had the worst fuel economy.

The Caliber's cargo capacity is impressive for its size, with 18.5 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats and 52.3 cubic feet with the seats folded down.
