Dodge Nitro
From the first road tests, the Dodge Nitro has attracted much attention, mostly due to its imposing physique. Its basic engine is a 210 horsepower 3.7-litre V6 tied to a four-speed transmission. The R/T version is powered by a better adapted 4.0-litre V6 engine producing 260 horsepower linked to a five-speed automatic transmission. The Nitro is the Jeep Liberty's cousin, but unlike the Jeep, the Nitro can be rear-wheel driven.
