2010 Dodge Nitro SUV

Sharing its platform with the Liberty—but not the low off-road gearing of its Jeep counterpart—the Nitro is a compact SUV built on a unibody platform. All models share a 3.7-liter V-6 engine mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. For 2010, the standard 6-cylinder engine receives fuel shutoff technology to increase economy, and there have been minor content changes.

• Offered in 4x2 and 4x4 drivelines
