The 2009 Dodge Caliber SRT4 was a high-performance compact hatchback that offered a unique blend of practicality and sporty driving dynamics. It was the first and only SRT-badged version of the Caliber, and it packed a powerful punch under the hood. Powering this hot hatch was a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 285 horsepower and 285 lb-ft of torque. This engine was mated to a six-speed manual transmission, channeling power to the front wheels through a limited-slip differential. This potent combination allowed the Caliber SRT4 to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.9 seconds, making it a true performance bargain compared to its European rivals. Beyond its performance, the Caliber SRT4 also featured a number of sporty styling enhancements to distinguish it from its more mundane counterparts. These included a unique front fascia with larger air intakes, side skirts, a rear spoiler, and a quad-tipped exhaust system. The interior was clad in performance-oriented materials like leather and suede, featuring sport seats with bolsters for added support. The SRT4 also boasted a comprehensive set of performance-oriented features, such as enhanced brakes, a lowered suspension, and wider wheels and tires for improved grip and handling. While the Caliber SRT4 was a capable and engaging car overall, it was ultimately discontinued after the 2011 model year due to declining sales. However, it remains a sought-after performance car for its unique combination of practicality, performance, and value, making it a popular choice among both enthusiasts and daily drivers alike.
