Dodge Avenger comes back for the 2012 model year still intent on rehabbing its rental-car image. It's undoubtedly better than it was before, but the Avenger still struggles as it competes with some family-sedan powerhouses including the Ford Fusion and Kia Optima.
Carried over almost unchanged in 2011, the Avenger still looks right. It's a mini-Charger, and it has a lock on brand unity that few small cars carry over from their successful big siblings. Dodge's big crosshair grille takes up residence on the nose, but it's the upkick to the rear quarters that connects the Avenger more to the Charger sedan. Inside, the cabin was polished up somewhat in the 2011 model year, but not to the same level as the Chrysler 200. The dash cap's a little more sculpted, the climate controls are streamlined, and some nice details of bright and matte plastic contrast with the softer-touch pieces. The lower half of the dash was mostly left untouched, and it wears lower-grade plastic than the 200, and some of the same carryover gauges and buttons are more noticeable here.
