PM CaliberAug 2006

PM Caliber

DODGE returned to Australia after a 30-year absence with the Caliber, a front-wheel drive small car about the size of the Mazda3.Based on the DaimlerChrysler/Mitsubishi GS platform that also underpins models as varied as the 2007 Jeep Compass and Mitsubishi Lancer, the Caliber is available with four four-cylinder engines.The smallest is a 1.8-litre variable-valve four-cylinder unit, developing 110kW at 6500rpm and 168Nm at 5200rpm. A five-speed manual-only proposition for now, it is available in the ST, SX and SXT models.Buyers opting for a Caliber automatic must choose the CVT transmission featured in the SX 2.0-litre CVT.This 2.0-litre variable-valve unit VVT four ups the ante slightly with 115kW at 6300rpm and 190Nm at 5100rpm. Fuel economy is 7.4L/100km combined for the 1.8 and 8.1L/100km combined with the 2.0.A Volkswagen sourced 103kW/310Nm 2.0-litre turbo-diesel, mated to a six-speed manual, arrived in late 2006, along with the higher-performance 127kW/224Nm five-speed manual 2.4-litre RT model.In 2007, a more powerful 224kW/353Nm turbocharged petrol-engined SRT4 version will become available.The Caliber sits on a 2635mm wheelbase - a Ford Focus is 2640mm – with a 1520mm front and rear track, which means interior room is plentiful for four and there is a large luggage area with a washable rear vinyl floor.At 4415mm long, 1800mm wide and 1535mm high the Caliber sits right in the small car class. By comparison a Ford Focus is just 63mm longer, 40mm wider but 92mm lower.

XH CommanderMay 2006

XH Commander

AFTER 65 years Jeep is finally doing what the Japanese have done for decades, by offering a 4WD wagon with a third-row of seating.The recipient is the Commander, a unitary-body SUV based on the third-generation Grand Cherokee released in Australia in 2005.But with its blocky styling that is meant to recall the popular 1990s Cherokee, the Commander's job of swaying urbanised Ford Territory and Toyota Prado buyers has been tough.It's a good thing then that keen value, a cracking turbo-diesel option and the brand's legendary off-road ability are part of this Jeep's armour.Echoing the five-seat Grand Cherokee range released last July the Commander range opens with a 170kW/410Nm 4.7-litre V8.The Commander 3.0L CRD employs the same DaimlerChrysler-developed 160kW/510Nm 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel engine as the Grand Cherokee Laredo CRD (and the Mercedes-Benz ML320 CDI).Topping the range are three Limited variants.The top-shelf Commander is powered by the same 240kW/500Nm 5.7-litre HEMI V8 that motivates the quickest Grand Cherokee (and is a detuned version of the 250kW/525Nm engine found in sister company Chrysler’s 300C V8 sedan).As in those models, it features the Chrysler Group’s fuel-saving Multi-Displacement System and, unlike 4.7 V8 variants, requires 95 RON premium unleaded fuel.The Grand Cherokee line-up will be capped by an SRT-8 range-topper later this year, powered by a 313kW version of the recently released 300C SRT-8’s 317kW/569Nm 6.1-litre V8, and Commander could follow suit in 2007 – when the compact Compass and Patriot Jeep 4WDs will also be launched.

GoAuto Search Words

Search will attempt to find all articles within the system that contain any or all words you are looking for.

You can include words like "and" + "or" for boolean style searching. Some search examples as follows:

  • "Ford v8" - Results will contain the text as it appears in the search "Ford v8".
  • "Ford and v8" - Results will have both "Ford" and "v8" within its contents but may not be sequential as per previous example.
  • "Ford or Holden and v8" - Results found will contain "v8" and also contain either "Ford" or "Holden".

You may also use wildcards represented by an asterisks. For example:

  • "Turbo*" - will find all documents that contain words like "Turbocharged", "Turbo-Diesel".
  • "Ford and v*" - Results will have both "Ford" and any word that has "V", so you may find documents about Volvo that mention Ford.

Please note: Due to the number of articles, searches may take a few moments to respond.
