When developing the new Dodge Caliber sedan, American designers were confident that the new product would not go unnoticed by the public. According to company management, this car is positioned as an SUV class SUV with the appearance of a city car. Indeed, such a strange combination of two different classes will certainly not be ignored. We, too, could not ignore this new product called "Dodge Caliber." Technical characteristics, its design and cost, we will consider as part of our review.
Appearance
Regarding the appearance, one thing can be said: such a novelty will definitely stand out from the gray “crowd” of cars. Externally, the car is characterized as a powerful and impressive SUV, but still it can not be attributed to the class of jeeps. Yes, and "car" is difficult to call "Dodge Caliber." Owner reviews mark the formidable and powerful front end of the car, which houses an impressive radiator grille along with surround headlamps. High ground clearance and large wheels give the new product confidence. The appearance of the car gives the impression that it will overcome any ford no worse than full-fledged SUVs.
The interior of the car "Dodge Caliber"
Owner reviews note a spacious lounge and stylish finish. But again, the finishing materials are made in American style. Unpleasant to the touch hard plastic is more reminiscent of some sort of pickup truck than a prestigious passenger car. The back row of seats in comfort can be compared to a bench - this is the opinion of the owners about the interior in the Dodge Caliber. But the pluses are still there. The main advantage of the inside of the novelty is its free space. At the back, the Dodge Caliber is capable of accommodating up to three people, all of whom will not feel a lack of space. The architecture of the front panel is very attractive, not a hint of rudeness. Here he is inside, this American Dodge Caliber.
Owner reviews on technical specifications
The car will be supplied to the Russian market in only one version - with a gasoline two-liter unit with a capacity of 156 horsepower. Domestic buyers are deprived of the right choice in the field of transmissions. Paired with a gasoline engine, only one continuously variable variator for 6 virtual gears works. A hundred such a car is gaining in 11.3 seconds. For Dodge, this figure is considered very large. Among the lineup of cars you can find pickups that gain a hundred in 7 odd seconds. But back to our review. In the technical part, the novelty boasts one feature that no car has, except for the Dodge Caliber. Owner reviews claim that the gear shift is so quiet and smooth that you can only find out about it from the readings of the liquid crystal display, which is mounted in the instrument panel. Even high-tech Japs equipped with an automatic transmission cannot boast of such a feature.
As for the price, the new Dodge Caliber will cost from 17,700 to 23 thousand euros, depending on the level of equipment.
