Dodge Nitro

EPA MPG: 19 mpg

RECALL ALERT:
There are 3 recalls on this vehicle. Learn More.

Road Test

The Nitro shares a platform with the Jeep Liberty and has bold styling but otherwise falls flat. The unrefined engine provides mediocre performance and poor fuel economy. Handling is clumsy, and the ride is snappy and unsettled. The driving position is awkward, and fit and finish are below par.
