The Dodge Nitro is an SUV from the Dodge division of DaimlerChrysler. Launched for the 2007 model year at the Chicago Auto Show, the Nitro shares its platform with the Jeep Liberty. It will be assembled at the Toledo North Assembly Plant in Toledo, Ohio. This Jeep facility is part of a complex including the Toledo South Assembly Plant, home to the Jeep Wrangler since the 1940s.
The Nitro will be priced below US$20,000 on introduction, and will be one of the first modern Dodge-branded cars to be sold in Europe. All Nitros will be available with rear wheel drive, and all wheel drive will be optional.
Dodge will tout the car's "Load 'N Go" sliding cargo floor as a major selling feature. Similar to a system offered on the Saab 9-5 station wagon, the floor can be extended through the rear hatch by 18 in (457 mm) to ease loading.Models
The Nitro is available in three trim levels: base, SLT, and R/T. Two V6 engines are available at launch, including a new-generation 4.0 L engine expected to replace the 3.5 L V6 across much of Chrysler's line. The 2.4 L GEMA four cylinder engine is expected to be added by the end of 2006.
