The unloved Neon has been replaced with the new Caliber. A roomy 5-door hatchback powered by a variety of 4-cylinder engines, the Caliber is also available with AWD.
What Changed:
The bold replacement for the Neon sedan evokes SUV styling on a compact wagon. Engine choices include a 1.8L I-4 (148-bhp), 2.0L I-4 (158-bhp), and 2.4L (172-bhp). A 140-bhp/229 lb.-ft. 2.0L turbodiesel engine is available outside the US. All engines are coupled to a CVT (Autostick available) for improved fuel economy. AWD is optional on the Caliber R/T.
