Driving the Dodge Avenger is one of the things that can make one feel like Kasey Kahne, one of the most respected drivers of the Nextel Cup race. The Dodge Avenger has already come a long way. It was first introduced in 1995 and after that, several models of the vehicle came out with three to five years interval. The said vehicle has a 2008 model. I was not at all surprised when Dodge decided to release a 2008 model the Dodge Avenger for I see a lot of former models of the Avenger running on the highways. Just the best way to prove that many are still into the Dodge Avenger.

The 2008 Dodge Avenger comes in two trim levels. These are the SXT and the SE, which come as a standard for 2.4 liter, 173 horsepower engine that can produce up to 166 lb of torque. For those who would want more of that, they can have their 2008 Dodge Avenger upgraded. For the SXT, one can upgrade the engine to a 2.7 liter 200 horsepower. The good news is, Dodge has plans to sell this model worldwide. One has only to wait for the time the said vehicle will be made available in the country they are in.

However, when it comes to the standard safety features of the 2008 Dodge Avenger, one may notice that it is not that geared up anymore. The side curtain bags (the ones for both rows) and side impact airbags (the ones for the front passengers) are standard. However, the electronic stability and traction control systems are optional. As for its audio package, the AM and FM radio is basic, there is a CD player as well as a MP3 jack. Apart from this, 2008 Dodge Avenger owners have an option to upgrade their audio with the Chrysler “MyGig” system. This feature fundamentally makes the Avenger a vehicle that is also a flash drive that allows for storage of 20 GB worth of voice messages, music and images.

It has stiffer Dodge shocks and springs in order to cancel out the vehicle shakes when driving on bumpy roads. For more information on shocks, visit the Bilstein shocks website.
