2008 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
With front seats all the way back, limited legroom. Not a big deal see full Dodge Caliber review |

Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2007 | 4dr SUT 320-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic RWD |
The interior is basically a Tahoe and even with 5 people, the truck is comfortable. Rear AC and headphone jacks help too. see full Chevrolet Avalanche review |
