Dodge Avenger Coupé — TIMING CHAIN OR BELT?

MODEL LIST - (UPDATED 2023)

| Home / Dodge / List of Dodge Avenger Coupé Models without Timing Belt

The Dodge Avenger Coupe, originally known as Dodge Avenger, is a sports car (D-segment in Europe) manufactured and marketed by the American marque Dodge.

The Dodge Avenger was introduced in 1994 as a two-door sedan, although in North America it was called a “coupe”. The vehicle was manufactured by Diamond Star Motors (DSM), a joint venture of Chrysler Corporation and Mitsubishi Motors. It was built on the Mitsubishi Galant platform. The Japanese, in turn, also used this base for the Mitsubishi Eclipse, hence its resemblance. The Avenger was designed to fill the gap of the discontinued Dodge Daytona, as it was about the same size and the same price. The Avenger Coupe was discontinued in 2000, but Dodge reused the name for the Dodge Avenger Sedan in 2007. Hence, we differentiate between the two models.

The Avenger Coupe was equipped with either a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine (Chrysler 420A) or a Mitsubishi-designed 2.5-liter V6 engine. The four-cylinder engine was paired with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, while the V6 engine was only available with the A604 automatic transmission.

In 2000, the V6 and automatic transmission became standard on all Avengers, and ABS became an “option” for ES models. The four-cylinder engine was no longer available and several previously optional features, such as power windows and power locks, became standard. ES coupes now came with standard leather upholstery, remote keyless entry and power driver’s seat. However, the Avenger failed to achieve strong sales figures and was discontinued later that year. Shortly thereafter, the model was replaced by the Dodge Stratus coupe in 2001. The Stratus coupe was also manufactured at Mitsubishi’s former Diamond Star plant, using the Eclipse platform and architecture.
