2011 Dodge Avenger

The mid-size Avenger gets new front-end styling, a revamped interior and a suspension retuned for better handling and a quieter ride. The 4-cylinder engine is now available with a 6-speed automatic as an option, and a Fiat-sourced twin-clutch automatic will follow later in 2011. Chrysler's new 3.6 liter Pentastar V6 replaces last year's 3.5; it produces more power (283 hp) and gets better gas mileage.
