Dodge Caliber Mopar Edition announced for South Africa
Minor tweaks, modest results
The Dodge Caliber isn't the most appealing model in the company's lineup, but that hasn't stopped them from creating a Mopar special edition for South Africa.
Designed to "satisfy the boy racer in all of us," the hatchback is distinguished by a new hood, a lowered suspension and 18-inch alloy wheels.
Power is provided by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that has been equipped with a cold-air induction system and a dual exhaust. Specifications weren't released, but the standard engine produces 156 PS (115 kW / 154 hp) and 190 Nm (140 lb-ft) of torque.
Set to arrive at dealerships shortly, the Caliber Mopar Edition will be priced from R259,990 ($37,130 / €26,200).
