The Avenger model name was reintroduced to the market as a four-door sports sedan starting in 2007 for the 2008 model year.

The Dodge Avenger, along with the similar Chrysler Sebring sedan, was built on a version of the Mitsubishi Galant platform by Diamond Star Motors (DSM), a joint venture between Chrysler Corporation and Mitsubishi Motors. The Dodge Avenger comes with updated styling, better handling, a more powerful V6 engine, and improved interior materials. Still, not much can be said about this car’s fundamental flaws, given that it drives on the same basic platform, and the family sedan market is teeming with better options, the model was rated too low to be recommended in our ratings.
