The Dodge Caliber is an American model that is rarely seen on Singapore roads today. If you own one, or a used one has caught your eye, you will want to know what it costs to keep each year.
This page covers the COE rule, road tax and car insurance. The insurance prices are examples for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. They give a sense of the range, not your own price.
What we can tell you about the model
The new-car list has no Caliber on sale now. So there is no list price, power figure or body type to report.
The price page has one version on the quote form: the Caliber 2.0, with a 1,998cc engine. That is the car priced below.
Category B, and what it means for a used car
The price page says the Caliber 2.0, with its 1,998cc engine above 1,600cc, needs a Category B COE. Category B closed at S$131,901 in the October 2026, 2nd round.
For a car that is no longer sold new, the COE on it matters more than the latest round. Check how many years are left and what renewing would mean for you. The COE page has the latest results.
Road tax for 1,998cc
At 1,998cc, the Caliber pays S$1,209.76 a year on LTA's formula, checked on 2026-10-19. That is before any age surcharge.
Many Calibers still around will be in the surcharge years. The steps are:
- Over 10 years: +10%
- Over 11 years: +20%
- Over 12 years: +30%
- Over 13 years: +40%
- Over 14 years: +50%
So a Caliber past 14 years pays half as much again as the base. The road tax page has other engine sizes.
Insurance for the example driver
The Dodge Caliber price page prices this case:
- Car: Caliber 2.0, registered 3 years ago, private use, comprehensive cover
- Driver: aged 40, married, office job, driving 10 years
- Record: 50% NCD, no claims
- Repairs: authorised workshop, no options
4 insurers price it. The lowest is S$1,050.13 a year. The insurer whose lowest plan costs most asks at least S$1,367.96. That gap is S$317.83, or 30% on top. All prices include 9% GST.
Three insurers have no online price for it. One does not offer the cover online. One holds a price for a single standard driver only. One does not list the model.
Excess on each plan
The excess is your share of a claim. Here:
- The lowest premium has a S$1,200 excess
- Every other plan has S$600
So the lowest premium asks you to pay twice as much at claim time. Two insurers' plans appear twice on the page, in a classic and a premium tier, with the same excess. The difference between those tiers is in what they cover. Some prices are marked as estimates.
What changes the price
The price page shows the lowest price with one detail changed:
- Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$2,638.42, S$1,588.29 more, from 1 insurer
- No NCD (0%): S$2,415.31, S$1,365.18 more
- 20% NCD: S$1,764.22, S$714.09 more
- Driver aged 65, 20 years' driving: S$1,363.79, S$313.66 more, from 3 insurers
- A new car, registered this year: S$1,117.14, S$67.01 more
- A car 8 years old: S$1,027.77, S$22.36 less
A young driver costs most, with the lowest price up 151%. Only one insurer prices that driver online, so there is little to compare. An older driver also pays more. A car 8 years old, nearer the age of most Calibers on the road, prices a little lower than the example.
The NCD lines are worth a look too. Dropping from 50% to 20% adds S$714.09. Losing it entirely adds S$1,365.18. A claim can cost you more in lost NCD over the next few years than the repair itself.
These are lowest prices. Other plans may move differently.
How it compares with similar 2.0 litre cars
The price page puts the Caliber beside 6 cars of similar engine size, for the same driver and car age:
- Lexus NX: S$970.26
- Lexus RX: S$921.75
- Mercedes-Benz E-Class: S$857.06
- BMW 5 Series: S$792.38
- Toyota Voxy: S$763.41
- Toyota Harrier: S$763.00
They average S$844.64. The Caliber costs 24% more, and all 6 are cheaper to insure on these details. Each of them draws 14 to 16 insurers, against 4 for the Caliber.

Running costs that depend on you
- Petrol: a 2.0 litre engine and your mileage set the bill, along with pump prices.
- Parking: season parking at home, plus parking at work and elsewhere.
- ERP: depends on your routes and the time.
- Parts and repairs: for a rare make here, ask how parts are sourced and how long they take. Waiting time can matter as much as cost.
- End of COE: for an older car, renewing or deregistering is a cost decision in itself.
