  • 2008 Dodge Avenger Product Heritage
    Contact: Brandt Rosenbusch 2008 Dodge Avenger Product Heritage The First Avenger Plans for the first car to carry the Avenger name were initiated by the Rootes Group (later to become Chrysler Europe) in England in 1963. Intended to replace Rootes’ best-selling vehicle of the time, the Hillman Minx, the project was delayed by funding issues; another car, the Arrow, would become the replacement for the Minx. Still, Rootes executives saw the need for a smaller car, and consideration of what they would call the “B-Car” began in earnest in November 1965. It would prove to be the first and last car developed by Rootes, following its 1967 takeover by Chrysler Corporation. Said to have drawn its inspiration from Detroit, the new car featured a readily identifiable “semi-fastback” design that would become its trademark. Much consideration was given to the needs of female customers; fashion consultants were employed during the design phase. The Hillman Avenger would feature a four-link rear suspension in place of traditional leaf springs, standard front anti-roll bars and a selection of four inline-four cylinder engines. The Hillman Avenger was introduced in February 1970 to popular acclaim. This B-class vehicle, built in sedan and wagon versions to compete with the Austin 1300, Ford Escort, Vauxhall Viva and other small cars, was designed to be the basic no-frills Hillman, with a four-speed manual gearbox an all-iron overhead valve engine. Four-door saloons were built first, followed by two-door saloons and five-door “estate” models. Many variations of the basic Avenger appeared over the years.

  • 2010 Dodge Avenger Rewrites the Rules
    d o d g e . c o m / 800-4ADODGE / 2010 AVENGER The 2010 Dodge Avenger rewrites the rules. Its bold style says sporty louder than it says sedan. Efficient yet powerful engines echo the sentiment. Its interior is both high-tech and high-comfort. Innovative features maximize its cargo-carrying capacity. Bottom line — get behind the wheel because Avenger is a must-drive, must-own vehicle. There’s more to the story at dodge.com/avenger Avenger leads with a bold statement — the signature Dodge crosshair grille. The crosshairs on the Avenger R/T and Express grilles are chrome with Black texture bars, while the Avenger SE grille has equally detailed body-color crosshairs. From its aggressive front to its distinctive “kick-up” in the rear doors, muscular rear shoulders, and short decklid, Avenger is heavy on attitude. Take in all that open- air driving has to offer with an available one-touch express open/close power sunroof with a sunshade. Large, modern quad-halogen headlamps provide brilliant down-the-road lighting. The headlamps are surrounded with distinctive bright housing while taillamps, turn signals, stoplamps, backup lamps, and side reflectors are combined in a single, sleek unit. Dual chrome exhaust tips hint at the available performance capability on Avenger R/T. R/T and Express models feature standard 17-inch aluminum wheels while 18-inch chrome-clad wheels and all-season performance tires are included on R/T models with the 3.5-liter engine. Avenger comfortably accommodates guests and gear. Opt for premium heated leather-trimmed driver and front-passenger seats.
