on Caliber’s capable line of engines and drivetrains.

A GROUNDBREAKING PERFORMER

Caliber takes its fuel efﬁciency seriously, with up to 29 miles per gallon.* Fuel economy goes hand in hand with engines and drivetrains rigorously tested for maximum performance and durability.

1 WORLD ENGINE. Four World Engines are offered — 1.8-liter, 2.0-liter, 2.4-liter, and 2.4-liter Turbo — which provide 148, 158, 172, and 285 horsepower, respectively. They meet aggressive

performance and fuel economy targets through advanced cylinder head port and intake manifold design. State-of-the-art automotive technologies include dual Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and an

intake with ﬂow control valves. Combined, these features produce more power, better fuel economy and smoother, quieter operation than engines without them. 2 CVT2. The CVT2 is a second-

generation Continuously Variable Transaxle (CVT2) calibrated for precise ratio control. A Continuously Variable Transaxle operates by varying the working diameters of the two main pulleys in the

transaxle. The CVT2 allows the engine to run at optimum rpm to provide approximately 8 percent better fuel economy.†The CVT2 also allows the fuel injection to remain off during deceleration, as the

transaxle works its way down to the lowest ratio, ingeniously saving more gas.

*2008 preliminary EPA estimated 24 city/29 highway mpg with 1.8L engine with 5-speed manual transaxle. †Combined EPA city/highway fuel economy of Caliber’s 2.0L engine with CVT2 (25 mpg) compared to Dodge’s comparable 4-speed automatic transaxle.

SRT4®DESIGN

The Street and Racing Technology (SRT®) engineers ﬁtted Caliber SRT4 with a turbocharged and intercooled 2.4-liter World Engine with dual Variable Valve Timing (VVT) that pumps out

285 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque. For handling that kind of power smoothly, SRT4 also features a 6-speed Getrag manual transmission and SRT-enhanced braking system. Inside,

race-inspired design cues include deeply bolstered, SRT-badge embroidered seating, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob boot. SRT owners are invited to earn their own high-

performance pedigrees at the SRT Track Experience, a complimentary one-day driving school conducted by the pros. Prepare to qualify at dodge.com/caliber, drivesrt.com

or call 800-4ADODGE.

Dodge Caliber SRT4 in Bright Silver Metallic

1 WHEELS. SRT4®transfers its power to the pavement on 19-inch painted cast-aluminum wheels (with optional 19-inch polished aluminum wheels) with standard 225/45R19 BSW all-season

performance Goodyear tires. 2 2.4-LITER ENGINE DOHC WORLD ENGINE. The ﬁnely tuned 2.4-liter intercooled and turbocharged dual Variable Valve Timing (VVT) engine uses its four

cylinders to put out 285 horsepower and an awesome 265 lb-ft of torque. 3 TURBO BOOST GAUGE. The turbo boost gauge measures intake manifold pressure generated by the turbocharger as

well as engine vacuum during light load conditions. The engine is torque controlled. Boost pressure will vary based on ambient conditions, altitude, gear selected, and coolant temperature.

4 REAR SPOILER. The aerodynamically designed rear spoiler complements the unique rear fascia while maximizing the rear view. It also houses the LED center high-mounted stoplamp. It matches

the attitude delivered by an oversized, chrome-tipped exhaust system.
