The Avenger returns as a midsize sedan
Overview Information
Dodge replaced the slow-selling Stratus with the new Avenger sedan. While the original Avenger was a sporty coupe, the new incarnation intends to battle the Accord and Camry sedans. Dodge offers the Avenger in FWD and AWD models. Engine choices include 2.4L I-4 (173-bhp), 2.7L V-6 (189-bhp) or 3.5L V-6 (235-bhp). The 3.5L engine gets a 6-speed automatic, while the smaller engines are equipped with a 4-speed automatic. Available features include heated/cooled front cupholders, MyGIG hard disk audio system, and DVD rear entertainment system. The new Avenger promises to be a more competitive offering than the forgettable Stratus.
What Changed:
The Avenger benefits from option package and standard equipment changes. An improved acoustic package aims to reduce noise levels in the cabin. The all-wheel-drive model has been dropped.
Official Word:
The Dodge brand is running on all cylinders, introducing the 2008 Dodge Avenger-an all-new mid-size sedan that combines bold, aggressive Dodge styling with innovative interior features, high-levels of safety and reliability, exhilarating performance and excellent fuel efficiency of 30 miles per gallon (mpg) (32 mpg based on 2007 EPA fuel economy standards). Avenger also is the Dodge brand's first mid-size car to offer all-wheel-drive capability combined with a sport-tuned suspension, performance steering and Electronic Stability Program...Read.
