For 2011, the Dodge Avenger got a slightly reworked body, coming with a new crosshair grille, new bumpers, rims and some new colors to choose from, the same being applied to the top specs R/T version.
Together with the Chrysler Sebring, the Dodge Avenger was one of the multiple vehicles built on the JS platform, which itself is a stretched Daimler-Chrysler/Mitsubishi GS platform, also utilized by the Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass, Mitsubishi Lancer and Mitsubishi Outlander.
