Dodge Nitro
The Dodge Nitro pleases mainly because of its stocky look and macho style. Sharing the major part of its elements with the Jeep Liberty, the Nitro comes to us in 2010 with a single version, the SXT 4X4. It is powered by a 3.6-litre six-cylinder engine, which develops 210 horsepower and 235 lb-ft of torque, topped by a four-speed automatic transmission, the only one available. All those elements make up for a versatile and practical SUV.
