Dodge to expand Europe models

Dodge will expand its marketing push into Europe by adding a fourth model which may debut at the Paris Motor Show.

The Avenger will share the platform of the Chrysler Sebring which was shown at the recent British International Motor Show, and which will sell in Europe with 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines, the latter sourced from VW.

It will join the Nitro SUV coming next year, and the Viper which is already sold in Europe.

The Dodge brand will be launched in Ireland later this month.
