2011 Dodge Avenger Review
"New and Improved" is a selling point that has probably existed as long as the wheel. Excessive use over time has been given a connotation that alienates consumers today. However, in the case of the Dodge Avenger 2011, this phrase has some merit, as Chrysler has done a great effort to improve the perceived ease of your vehicles. But this effort really make this midsize sedan segment more competitive in a very difficult market?
One of the biggest complaints about the previous life of the avenger of second-class implementation of its interior, a byproduct of cheap materials and poor construction quality. 2011 Avenger has made great strides in this direction, thanks to the cottage updated, and now that Dodge is at least competitive with other mid-size sedan. The look is still quite common, but fortunately not immediately Avenger interiors scream "rental car!" how to use it.
Adequate but not refined 2.4-liter four-cylinder Avenger is still standard equipment on most trim levels, but the V6 283 hp The new 3.6-liter is more robust than the previous V6 model and is actually the most powerful engine in its class. Completely revised suspension components and steering are the Avenger much more satisfying to drive.
Not a good value here too, as the avenger of packs plenty of features for the money. As such, the Avenger has taken a new position in the midsize sedan segment is highly competitive. While the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry are the more traditional options, we believe that the Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima are outstanding in design and innovation.
Compared to these cars, the Avenger is a little short in terms of fuel efficiency and usefulness in everyday life, but it has more involving driving dynamics. Together with the Mazda 6, Nissan Altima and Suzuki Kizashi Avenger is a test drive, if you want a midsize sedan that is not a repetition in training.
Body styles, trim levels and options
The 2011 Dodge Avenger is a midsize sedan is offered in five trim levels: Express, Mainstreet, heat and Lux.
The Express comes with steel wheels 17-inch, full power accessories, cruise control, air conditioning, a steering column tilts and telescopes, cloth upholstery and a stereo with four speakers with drive CD and audio capabilities.
The Avenger Main Street adds alloy wheels, heated exterior mirrors, climate control, a leather steering wheel, a power driver seat and a stereo with six speakers Satellite Radio. Intensify the thermal model allows you to get a V6 engine, 18-inch wheels, fog lights, rear spoiler, remote ignition, heated front seats and an upgraded stereo with a touch screen and 30 GB of storage for digital music.
Lux model is similar to the thermal break, but returns a four-cylinder engine and lose the rear spoiler, but also includes chrome wheels, leather seats and Bluetooth. Most of the features of an Avengers upper cut is available in other versions than the alternatives. In addition, a stand-alone options are available on some models and even the sunroof and navigation system in real-time traffic information.
Engines and performance
2011 Dodge Avenger is available in both a four-or six-cylinder engine. Line-4 base 2.4-liter engine is the only choice available and the Main Street Express models and is standard on the Lux This engine produces 173 hp and 166 pound-feet of torque. Express comes with a four-speed automatic, while the Main Street and Lux will receive a six-speed transmission. Estimates of fuel consumption are the four-cylinder, Avenger, 21 mpg city/30 mpg highway and 24 mpg with four-speed automatic and 20 city/31 highway and 24 in combination with a six-speed automatic.
A 3.6-liter V6 engine that generates 283 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque is standard on the heat and is optional on Lux. A six-speed automatic transmission is the only transmission available for this engine. In tests , an Avenger V6 Lux accelerated to 60 mph in just 6.7 seconds, a fast time in this class. Estimated fuel economy for the V6 engine of 19 highway and 22 combined ciudad/29.
Security
Standard safety equipment on all 2011 Dodge Avenger includes antilock brakes with brake assist, active head restraints, front airbags seat side, full-length side curtain airbags, Hill Start Assist, stability control and 'Traction.
Interior Design and Special Features
This year has been an Avenger interior makeover that appeals almost all the ills of the previous model a bit. A dash more streamlined, new steering wheel, redesigned vents, and the generous use of soft-touch materials contributes to an impression that greatly improved the atmosphere is far from the previous car econobox.
The actual dimensions of the passenger has not changed and that gets high marks for comfort, with supportive seats and decent head and leg. However, buyers who plan to fill the backseat with their adult size on a regular basis can consider some of the competitors of the Dodge Avenger, which offer ample rear. The trunk is 13.4 cubic feet a bit on the weak side compared with other midsize sedans.
Driving Impressions
The mechanical modifications to the 2011 Dodge Avenger has made a significant improvement in handling of the car, while the equipment recalibrated steering felt more precise.
Performance with the 2.4 liter four-cylinder is still far from impressive, but I suspect it will be sufficient for the needs of many buyers, especially when it is coupled to the six-speed automatic transmission. With 110 more horsepower than the four cylinders, the new 3.6-liter V6 is by far the most fun option, offering a strong acceleration with only a small sacrifice in fuel economy.
Price $ 19 245
