What is the Dodge Caliber SXT’s top speed?
My son loves how fast some Dodge cars can go, but I obviously don’t want him to be driving one of those. Instead, I’ve been eyeing a used Caliber that I think could be a good compromise for both of us! How fast can the Dodge Caliber SXT go?

A used car is a great first vehicle for your young driver, and this Caliber could easily do the trick for your compromise. The
Dodge Caliber SXT
has a top speed of 119 to 123 mph depending on the model year.A 2012 Dodge Caliber SXT—the final model year—uses a 2.0-L four-cylinder engine with a continuously variable transmission for:
- 158 horsepower
- 141 lb-ft of torque
- A 0-to-60 acceleration time of 9.2 seconds
Hopefully, your son will never try to put that acceleration time to the test. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gives all Dodge Calibers a 3-star overall safety rating (out of 5 stars). You may want to look for something with a better rating if you’re especially concerned for your son’s safety.
Once you’ve found your son’s car, you’ll also need to find the right
car insurance
to go with it. Use the Jerry
