Chrysler has revamped the Dodge Avenger sedan for 2011, mildly reworking the sheet metal but dramatically upgrading the interior and suspension, while offering new powertrain combinations.
The look hasn't changed much, unlike the situation with the Avenger's longtime stablemate, the Chrysler Sebring, which has morphed into the 2011 Chrysler 200.
Under the skin, however, the 2011 Avenger is quite a different animal. Chrysler extensively re-engineered and retuned the suspension, lowering ride height, widening the track, reducing body roll and improving steering response and precision.The standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is supplemented this year with the new 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, which in the 2011 Avenger is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and makes 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque.
A heavy interior makeover includes a new instrument panel and steering wheel, upgraded seats and new color and fabric choices.
The 2011 Avenger will begin reaching Dodge dealerships later this quarter.
