For 2012, the big news for the Dodge Avenger is the new R/T trim. It features a stiffened suspension, black headlamp background, "war paint" decal on the front fender, and unique 18" aluminum wheels. The interior receives perforated leather steering wheel, stripe fabric inserts with leather-trimmed bolsters, and upgraded 276-watt sound system.
