2012 Dodge Avenger R/T: News review and view picture

2012 Dodge Avenger R/T: News review and view picture
For 2012, Dodge will market an R/T version of its Avenger midsize sedan. The R/T name — apparently, the only trim-level designation Dodge thinks is worth keeping — will join the Express, Mainstreet and Lux, whose badges were minted for the updated 2011 model. Dodge considers R/T its performance designation. Though the SRT8 label represents even higher performance, we don't expect to see an SRT8 version of the embattled Avenger, one of the less enthusiastically received models among the Chrysler group's 2011 updates.
Though the R/T's firmer suspension and cosmetic upgrades might increase its appeal, its admittedly robust 283-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 is the same one offered as an option on the Mainstreet and Lux. Likewise, its 19/29 mpg city/highway is the same.
So, what has changed?
The spring and shock absorber rates are all greater, as is the size of the rear stabilizer bar. The grille is body colored, and the headlamps are darkened. A spoiler and 18-inch wheels are exclusive to the R/T. The interior gets a distinct instrument panel with a center tachometer, and the pedals have "SRT-inspired" pads. The heated seats get unique fabric with striped inserts, red stitching and more prominent bolsters. A red "R/T" is embroidered into the head restraints, and the perforated-leather steering wheel has red stitching, as well. A Boston Acoustics premium stereo and touch-screen controller are standard.
