The Dodge Avenger, produced from 2008 to 2010, marked a departure from the traditional muscle car image associated with the brand, embracing a more modern and mainstream approach. This mid-size sedan aimed to compete in the fiercely contested family car segment, offering practicality, comfort, and a decent level of performance. Available in three trims - SE, SXT, and R/T - the Avenger boasted a range of powertrain options, including a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, a 2.7-liter V6, and a powerful 3.5-liter V6 for the R/T model. The Avenger showcased a contemporary design with sharp lines and a sporty stance, featuring a bold grille, sweptback headlights, and a raked windshield. Inside, the cabin offered a spacious layout with comfortable seating for five, along with standard features like air conditioning, power windows, and a CD player. Higher trims boasted upgrades such as leather upholstery, heated seats, and a premium sound system. While not renowned for its handling prowess, the Avenger provided a comfortable and confident ride, making it a practical choice for families and commuters alike.

Beyond its practicality, the Avenger also aimed to attract buyers seeking a hint of excitement. The R/T model, equipped with the powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine, offered a spirited driving experience, capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in under seven seconds. This model featured unique styling cues, including a sportier body kit, larger wheels, and a more aggressive exhaust note, further enhancing its appeal. However, the Avenger faced stiff competition from established rivals like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, which offered greater fuel efficiency and a reputation for reliability. Despite its efforts, the Avenger struggled to gain significant market share, eventually being discontinued in 2014. The Factory Service Repair Manual, specific to the 2008-2010 model years, provided a comprehensive guide for technicians and mechanics, containing detailed information on troubleshooting, repair procedures, and component specifications. This manual served as an essential resource for maintaining and repairing the Dodge Avenger, ensuring its continued operation and longevity.
