Avenger's two spirited engines effectively combine strength with fuel efficiency to ensure that its sporty looks do not deceive.
- The available, robust 3.5-liter 235-horsepower V6 engine is teamed with a refined, available six-speed automatic transmission with AutoStick®, that shifts precisely between gears.
- The 2.4-liter DOHC 16-valve World Engine incorporates innovative Dual Variable Valve Timing (DVVT), which allows the engine to operate more efficiently, delivering an increase in horsepower and 30
mpg[1] on the highway.
Whatever engine powers your Avenger it'll be covered by our exclusive Lifetime Powertrain Limited Warranty[2].
