Dodge reveals the new 2012 Avenger RT, ahead of its world debut at the 2011 New York International Auto Show. We'll start with everybody's favorite part when it comes to Dodge's RT models - the engine. The 2012 Avenger RT is powered by the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine (283 hp), mated to a six-speed automatic transaxle gearbox. Dodge says the 2012 Avenger R/T is able to offer an EPA fuel consumption of up to 19 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.
Some of the most interesting features of the 2012 Dodge Avenger RT are the center-mounted tachometer, the performance-inspired interior and exterior and the stiffer suspension system. Dodge increased the roll stiffness of the
2012 Avenger RT by 18%, and spring rates by 17% in the front and more than 12% in the rear. Front strut damping rates are increased 15%, rear strut damping rates are increased almost 20% and the rear stabilizer bar diameter is 2 mm larger, increased from 19 mm to 21 mm.
The price of the 2012 Dodge Avenger RT will be announced at a later date. Meanwhile, watch it on video lower down this page.
