Dodge Avenger 2008-2014 Specifications

The 2008-2014 Dodge Avenger offers three engine options: a 2.4L inline-4 producing 173 hp, a 2.7L V6 delivering 189 hp, and a 3.6L V6 generating 283 hp. The 2.4L is fuel-efficient, the 2.7L balances power and efficiency, and the 3.6L provides robust performance with higher torque and acceleration.

The Avenger comes with a 4-speed automatic for the 2.4L engine, a 6-speed automatic for the 2.7L and 3.6L engines, and a 6-speed manual in select models. The 6-speed automatic offers smoother shifts and improved fuel efficiency.

Standard safety features include anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), and multiple airbags. Optional features include traction control, brake assist, and a rearview camera.

The 2.4L engine achieves 21 city/30 highway mpg, while the 3.6L V6 gets 19 city/29 highway mpg. These figures are competitive with similar midsize sedans like the Chevrolet Malibu and Ford Fusion from the same era.

Recommended maintenance includes oil changes every 7,500 miles, tire rotations every 6,000 miles, and comprehensive inspections every 15,000 miles. Brake fluid and coolant should be replaced every 30,000 miles.

Notable features include a UConnect infotainment system, heated seats, a sunroof, and a premium sound system. Higher trims offer leather upholstery, navigation, and advanced driver-assistance features.

The Avenger offers 13.5 cubic feet of trunk space and seating for five. It compares favorably to competitors like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry in terms of rear legroom and overall comfort.

The Avenger is not rated for towing. Its payload capacity is approximately 850 lbs, making it suitable for light cargo but not for heavy hauling.
