The Dodge Caliber is a compact hatchback that offered SUV-like styling and versatility in a small footprint. Sold in limited numbers in Saudi Arabia during the late 2000s, the vehicle was available in SE, SXT (both manual and automatic), and the high-performance SRT4 trims. The Caliber’s rugged design, spacious interior, and optional performance model made it a distinctive choice in its class. Although no longer produced, the Dodge Caliber car in KSA continues to be available in the used car market.
The Dodge Caliber in KSA came with several engine and transmission combinations:
SE: The SE trim featured a 2.0-litre inline-4 engine producing approximately 158 horsepower and 183 Nm of torque, paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).
SXT: The SXT manual and automatic models utilised the same 2.4-litre inline-4 engine, producing approximately 172 horsepower and 223 Nm of torque, and were paired with either a 5-speed manual or CVT transmission.
SRT4: The high-performance SRT4 variant was powered by a 2.4-litre turbocharged inline-4 engine delivering 285 horsepower and 359 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
While the SE and SXT were focused on daily commuting and practicality, the SRT4 provided sports car-level performance and was one of the most powerful hatchbacks in its segment at the time.
The Dodge Caliber had a bold exterior design with a high beltline, wide stance, and a crosshair grille typical of Dodge vehicles. The SE trim featured black plastic trim, steel wheels, and manual mirrors. The SXT added alloy wheels, body-colored mirrors, and optional fog lights.
The SRT4 variant included aggressive bumpers, a hood scoop, larger wheels, and a rear spoiler, giving it a distinctly sporty and muscular appearance. All trims had a hatchback body style, which contributed to the vehicle's practicality and compact urban utility.
Inside, the Caliber offered a practical and roomy cabin with seating for five. The SE trim came with fabric seats, manual air conditioning, and a basic CD/MP3 stereo. The SXT added power windows, keyless entry, upgraded cloth seats, and an optional premium audio system.
The SRT4 featured sport bucket seats, aluminum pedals, a performance gauge cluster, and an upgraded stereo system with subwoofer. The cargo space was generous for a compact hatchback, and the rear seats folded flat to further enhance utility.
Fuel economy varied depending on the trim:
The SXT automatic provided the best balance between efficiency and convenience, while the SRT4 prioritised performance.
Standard features included CD players, auxiliary input, and a trip computer. Higher trims added Bluetooth, premium audio, cruise control, and steering-mounted controls. Safety features included front and side airbags, ABS, and traction control, available on most trims.
In Saudi Arabia, the Caliber was commonly seen in white, black, red, silver, and grey. The SRT4 was often available in sportier colours, such as bright red or blue.
In the used compact hatchback segment in KSA, the Dodge Caliber competes with the Ford Focus, Mazda 3, and Toyota Matrix.
While its resale value may be lower, the Dodge Caliber car in KSA stands out for its rugged design, spacious interior, and the rare performance-focused SRT4 trim.
