2014 Dodge Avenger: What's New, Specs & Features

About the 2014 Dodge Avenger
2nd generation (2008-2014), final model year; this is the last year of the sedan after the major 2011 update.
Dodge positioned the Avenger as a sporty-looking midsize sedan for shoppers who wanted more attitude than a typical family four-door. Its core appeal was straightforward: bold styling, useful cabin space, solid standard safety equipment, and the option of strong V6 power without stepping into a larger sedan. Compared with rivals, Dodge leaned more on style and performance flavor than class-leading efficiency or the newest in-car tech.
The SE remained the straightforward base sedan, while the SXT added everyday upgrades such as alloy wheels, automatic climate control, and a power driver’s seat. The SE V6 paired simpler trim with the stronger 3.6-liter V6, while the R/T added the V6, a firmer suspension, heated sport seats, Bluetooth, and remote start.
What changed, by category
Tech
Heated front seats and a power driver’s seat became standard on the SE V6. Heated front seats changed from standard to optional on the SXT.

“Seem to have a small issue w the vehicle tps system overall. I have owned Dodge vehicles and have been satisfied my daughter owns an 06 Dodge Charger I owned a 2009 Dodge Ram and 2000 Ram pickup. I am a Dodge Chrysler person I fell in love with Dodge Charger it still drives new.”
“Fuel economy is the worst in any car I've ever owned... including trucks and the Charger. I was definitely misled, since it's one of the reasons I allowed myself to be talked into a car I didn't even want.”
