Dodge Avenger

The Avenger has returned for 2008 as a sedan to, ironically, replace the aging Dodge Stratus, whose coupe version had replaced the original Avenger in 2001. The Avenger, along with the redesigned Chrysler Sebring, shares a DaimlerChrysler/Mitsubishi Motors platform called the GS. For the new cars, the GS platform is stretched in size and known as the JS. The base engine in the SE and SXT trim levels is the 2.4 L GEMA I4 naturally-aspirated "World Engine", a joint venture between DaimlerChrysler, Mitsubishi and Hyundai. Additional engines include an optional 2.7 L V6 in the SXT and a standard 3.5 L V6 in the R/T trim level. The new Avenger is expected to be sold worldwide. In addition to the 2.4 L "World Engine" and the V6s, export vehicles will be offered with the 2.0 L naturally-aspirated "World Engine", as well as a 2.0 L turbocharged common-rail diesel made by Volkswagen . As a 2008 model, the Dodge Avenger came to showrooms in March 2007.
