Dodge refreshed the Avenger lineup for the 2011 model-year and brought it in no less than nine trim levels, ranging from the SE to the HEAT.

After the world financial crisis, the automotive market was still shattered, and automakers tried to get back on their feet. Dodge already had the Avenger as a competitor in the mid-size sedan segment and knew that in order to keep it alive, it had to be refreshed. It was more than just a bumper and a sticker for the "Most American Made" sedan.

The car's front featured the revised grille with the cross-hair chromed trim on it and without the proverbial ram badge in the middle. Depending on the trim level, the car came fitted with a new and improved front bumper that sported a lower apron with a broad center grille flanked by a pair of side scoops for the fog lamps. From its profile, the car still featured the shoulders over the rear wheels reminded of the muscle car era. At the same time, the back of the vehicle could've been adorned with a wing on the trunk and a dual exhaust under the bumper.

Inside, the Avenger offered plenty of features that provided everything from a tilt-steering wheel to leather upholstery, a touch-screen infotainment system, and a sunroof. Its front high-bolstered bucket seats were designed mostly for speed cornering. Dodge still boasts about its racing past. That's why it was also available in an R/T (Road/Track) grade, which was the performance-oriented version.

Under the hood, Dodge installed the newly developed 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine paired as standard with a six-speed automatic. The lesser versions had to rely on a 2.4-liter inline-four powerplant mated to a four-speed automatic.
