Is 2010 Dodge Caliber 4 wheel drive?

No. The 2010 Dodge Caliber was not offered with factory four-wheel drive.


In the U.S. market, the Caliber was sold with front-wheel drive across all trims and did not include a genuine AWD option for 2010. This article explains how its drivetrain worked, what that means for performance, and what to consider if you’re shopping for a used example.


Drivetrain options and what that means


Here are the key points about the 2010 Caliber's drivetrain configuration.



  • Standard/front-wheel drive on all models.

  • No factory all-wheel drive (AWD) option for the 2010 model year in the U.S.

  • A traditional four-wheel-drive low-range was not part of the Caliber’s drivetrain design; it is positioned more as a compact hatchback than a rugged SUV.


These points summarize how the Caliber’s drivetrain was configured and what buyers could expect in terms of handling and efficiency.


Summary


In short, the 2010 Dodge Caliber is not a four-wheel-drive vehicle. If AWD is a priority, consider other Dodge models from the era or look for a different used vehicle with factory AWD. The Caliber was designed primarily as an economical front-wheel-drive hatchback. When shopping, verify the specific trim and any optional features to confirm the drivetrain configuration for any given used example.
