Fuel economy data from fueleconomy.gov (EPA / U.S. Dept. of Energy). Annual cost based on 15,000 mi/yr at 55% city driving and current fuel prices. MPG is U.S. gallons; L/100km converted. Ranges reflect the 3 tested variants for this model year.
The 2012 to 2014 Dodge Avenger received a four-star overall rating from NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program for US-market vehicles. The sedan earned four stars in frontal crash, side crash, and rollover tests. However, it scored two stars in the side pole crash test, which measures protection in crashes involving narrow objects like utility poles. NHTSA applies this rating across the model years shown until a redesign occurs, so these results represent the entire 2012 to 2014 range.
