DODGE will launch two new models in the UK during 2007 – a high-performance version of the Caliber hatchback and the new Nitro mini-SUV.

The Caliber SRT features a 2.4-litre turbocharged engine which offers 300bhp and 260lb-ft of torque. The five-seater Nitro will feature petrol and diesel engines.

The less powerful 1.8 and 2.0-litre petrol and diesel Caliber models go on sale in July.
