Powertrain Options and Availability
For a compact car, Caliber has had a bewildering array of four-cylinder engine choices, even excluding the turbocharged SRT4 edition. That 285-horsepower 2.4-liter has come only with a six-speed manual gearbox. Other engines mate with either a five-speed manual gearbox or a gearless, continuously variable transmission (CVT). Non-SRT4 engines came in three sizes: 1.8-, 2.0-, or 2.4-liter. Manual-shift Calibers got the 1.8-liter; CVT models, the 2.0-liter. Caliber R/Ts used a 172-hp 2.4-liter engine, with either manual shift or the CVT. All-wheel drive was available on the R/T model.
