For 2011, the Dodge Avenger sees a host of changes, including an exterior facelift, an all-new interior and a new V6 engine. On the outside, the Avenger has a new grille, revised LED taillights and new bumpers. Inside, the instrument cluster and dash are completely new and the seats have been redesigned with increased comfort in mind. Chrysler's 3.6L Pentastar V6 is also now part of the lineup, making 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with Autostick manual control.
Competitive comparison
Freshened sporty styling; safety; powerful V6 engine; long list of high-tech options
Special features for 2011
For a mid-sized sedan, the Avenger stands out in two ways: aggressive, sporty styling, which is borrowed from the Dodge Charger, and its fuel economy, which can manage as high as 30 mpg on the highway. The Avenger's new, redesigned interior features nicer materials and is quieter than in years past, and its upgraded styling and quality makes it a viable alternative in a crowded small car market. The R/T Avenger appeals to driving enthusiasts, and includes sporty suspension, leather interior and special exterior styling.
