Dodge is looking to spin the global D-segment
with the all-new Dodge Avenger concept — a bold, styling statement that
does away with the idea that a functional mid-size car is automatically
boring. Avenger’s Dodge branded styling makes a definite statement in
the D-segment, commanding attention and evoking attributes that define
the Dodge brand: bold, powerful, capable and street smart.

This Avenger concept, finished
in a striking Inferno Red, will appeal to car buyers around
the world who need the practicality, functionality and fuel
efficiency of a mid-size sedan, but want more, including a vehicle
with pizzazz that stands out and makes a statement. Avenger’s
bold Dodge styling, innovative features and solid performance
would allow them to do just that. The Avenger concept hints
at the next-generation global D-segment vehicle from Dodge.
From the front, there’s no mistaking
the bold presence of Dodge’s heritage cues in Avenger’s crisp
and edgy exterior design. Large, modern quad headlamps surrounded
by black housings create the distinctive glare that forms Avenger’s
face and surround the signature Dodge crosshair grille, which
features body-color accents. Fog lamps are positioned in the
outer corners of the front fascia and surround a diamond mesh
texture that runs the length of the fascia. The lower fascia
splitter is punctuated by two fairings.
A stamped formation in the center of the
hood carries the vertical lines of the crosshair grille.
Avenger’s side profile is distinguished
by a long hood, short deck lid proportions with muscular rear shoulders
and sleek rear spoiler.
From the rear, the large, expressive taillamps
placed at the corners frame the deck lid. A finely-tuned body-color
spoiler is sleekly integrated in the deck lid. An integrated lower rear
diffuser reduces drag and improves fuel efficiency. Chrome-tipped dual
exhaust outlets communicate the performance capability of the Avenger
concept’s 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine, which could be sold in markets
outside North America.
