The Dodge Durango will lead the charge, followed by Dodge Charger and significantly redesigned Grand Caravan, Journey, Avenger and Challenger with two new powertrains.
These products will join Dodge Nitro and Dodge Caliber in dealer showrooms.
As the Dodge brand continues its journey into new advertising and dealership space, the company says, it’s also cementing relationships with consumers who live the active lifestyles the brand embraces through events and sponsorships.
These include the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series and continued support of Dodge Motorsports in the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series, as well as the new Viper Cup racing series.
Dodge’s presence at these events signifies an evolution in marketing strategy and activation since it became a car, minivan and SUV brand, separate from the Ram Truck brand.
The Dodge brand also is linking up with consumers on social networking sites. With all the new products coming for 2011, the brand is looking to add members to the Dodge family by reaching an entirely new buyer who may not have considered buying a Dodge before.
