Dodge Nitro Overview
The Dodge Nitro was launched in 2007 as a midsize SUV with a boxy-yet-sporty look. It's based on the Jeep Liberty, and has an old-school body design atop the sturdy truck-style platform. Compared to other midsize sport utility vehicles, the Nitro is on the smaller side, and reviewers praise it for its maneuverability.
A high roofline and rectilinear profile translate to plenty of headroom, legroom, and cargo capacity. They're also a nod to the Nitro's Jeep roots. The front grille, on the other hand, is all Dodge Ram; the fierce-looking front end seems a little misplaced on this cartoony bodystyle.
The Nitro's fuel economy isn't terrible for a two-ton vehicle, but compared to the Ford Escape or the Saturn Vue, it's a bit of a gas-guzzler. Still, it's got its charm, and the folks at Chrysler have high hopes for the new brand.

Nice rugged look, on a smaller SUV vehicle. If you want a smaller SUV this could be just what your looking for.
This car was for my wife. She previously had a nitro and wanted to get another one. This is the RT model, which is the top-of-the-line. It’s a reliable vehicle and it’s a shame that Dodge discontinued this model.
I am very satisfied with this vehicle so far. Easy to drive, comfortable and fun.
Nothing but a lemon. One of the worst vehicles I have ever had. Nothing but break downs. From one end to the other. Steering pump hoses blow every winter. A complete piece of expensive junk
Just bought my Dodge Nitro last week with 85K mileage., and really like it a lot. It drives great and has terrific looks. Still looks new, and I got a 100K mileage extended warranty, so Im looking forward to a lot of enjoyable driving. The only slight drawback, is that the 20 wheels create a bit rougher and noisier ride. Overall. Im VERY happy with it. I have three old Mopar A-bodies, and this Nitro looks great parked with them.
