Dodge Avenger gives you a choice of two high quality engines.

Both are designed to deliver power with efficiency, with the four-cylinder engine providing up to 31 mpg hwy⁺ and the Available V6 delivering 29 mpg hwy⁺.

• 2.4L Four-Cylinder Engine
• 3.6L Pentastar® V6 Engine

The 2.4L four-cylinder world engine provides peak power, torque and generous gas mileage⁺ with smooth idle and good low-speed operation.

The 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine provides exceptional performance. Using computer-aided engineering techniques on the structure, intake and exhaust systems resulted in an extremely refined engine.

DUAL VARIABLE VALVE TIMING (VVT)

The 2.4L four-cylinder engine and available 3.6L Pentastar V6 both feature state-of-the-art dual Variable Valve Timing (VVT).

• By closing the intake valve later, the engine can recycle energy instead of rejecting it as heat
• VVT improves engine breathing, which improves fuel efficiency^{+ + +} and refinement, and delivers optimum performance

• AutoStick six-speed transmission – standard on all models with the 3.6L V6 engine and standard on Avenger SXT with the 2.4L engine
