Avenger's three 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 responsive 2.7-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 offers an impressively satisfying 186-horsepower and flex fuel[1] capability, which helps reduce harmful emissions.
- 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[2] on the highway.
Whatever engine powers your Avenger it'll be covered by our exclusive Lifetime Powertrain Limited Warranty[3].

- Fuel economy

Avenger SXT's available 2.7-liter V6 accepts both conventional unleaded gasoline and E85[1], an environmentally friendly blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent unleaded gasoline.
Dual variable valve timing helps the 2.4-liter World Engine deliver optimum performance, while also improving fuel efficiency[2] with an impressive 30 mpg on the highway[2]. The 3.5-liter V6 engine credits its 26 highway mpg[4] to a six-speed automatic transmission with AutoStick® that promotes better fuel economy[4].
