What Changed

The Avenger benefits from option package and standard equipment changes. An improved acoustic package aims to reduce noise levels in the cabin. The all-wheel-drive model has been dropped. Two months after announcing the 2009 model year changes, Chrysler further pared the Avenger lineup to just two trim levels and two engines. The 2.7L V6 has been dropped.
