Three engines have been produced: a 1.8 L, a 2.0 L, and a 2.4 L. The initial design of the engine block and cylinder head was handled by Hyundai as part of the Global Engine Alliance. The engines feature an aluminum engine block with siamesed cast iron cylinder liners (which do not allow coolant to flow between adjacent liners). By using cylinder liners, the engine's bore can be altered, therefore the displacement as well, just by adding a different set of cylinder liners. The engine also features an aluminum cylinder head with double overhead camshafts and variable valve timing.
==1.8==
The 1.8L is a dual overhead cam (DOHC) inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine capable of {{cvt|148|hp|kW|0}} and {{cvt|125|lbft|0}} of torque.<ref name="1.8Lspecs"/> The engine has displacement of {{cvt|1798|cc|L cuin|1|order=flip}} with a bore of {{cvt|3.38|in|mm}} and a stroke of {{cvt|3.05|in|mm}}.<ref name="1.8Lspecs">{{cite web |url=http://www.dodge.com/bridge/vehsuite.html?app=vehiclespecs&family=caliber&model=Technical&zipcode=10101&year=2008 |title=Dodge - Specs & Upgrades |access-date=2008-04-17 |publisher=Chrysler LLC}}</ref> The compression ratio is 10.5:1.<ref name="1.8Lspecs"/>
The 1.8L DOHC inline 4-cylinder engine served as the standard engine in the Dodge Caliber ''SE'' and ''SXT'' trim for the 2007–2009 model years.

==Tigershark== The '''Tigershark''' engine family is the name for the next generation of World Gasoline Engines, with work starting on them shortly after Fiat's acquisition of Chrysler. The major differences compared to the first generation are the updated valvetrain and intakes.
===2.0=== The 2.0 L Tigershark DOHC inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine has dual-variable valve timing and produces {{cvt|160|hp|kW|0}} and {{cvt|148|lbft|Nm|0}} of torque.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.automobilemag.com/am/2013/dodge/dart/specifications.html |title=2013 Dodge Dart Specs |access-date=2012-11-01 |publisher=Automobile Magazine}}</ref> It utilizes a bore and stroke of {{cvt|88x82|mm|2}} and a 10.2:1 compression ratio.
