The New Ride

The Dodge Caliber is a compact car produced by the Dodge division of Chrysler from model years 2007 to 2012 inclusively. It replaced the Neon, and went on sale in March 2006. The Caliber has a five-door hatchback body, but because of its bulkier appearance, is sometimes considered both a station wagon or a crossover. It was however considered to be the smallest and the least expensive vehicle of the brand.

The Caliber concept was revealed at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show and featured styling elements derivative of larger Dodge vehicles, such as a crosshair grille, rough border angles and flared fenders. The pre-production version has debuted on January 10, 2006 at the North American International Auto Show.

The Caliber was discontinued on November 23, 2011, with the last models branded for the 2012 model year. Starting Summer 2012, it is replaced by the 2013 Dodge Dart.
