Power

The 2010 Dodge Nitro offered three engine options. The base engine was a 3.7-liter V6 producing 210 horsepower and 235 lb-ft of torque. The mid-range engine was a 4.0-liter V6 with 260 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque. The top-of-the-line engine was a 3.5-liter V8 with 265 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque. All engines were paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The Nitro's performance was adequate but not exceptional. The base V6 engine provided sufficient power for most driving situations, but it struggled with heavier loads or when towing. The 4.0-liter V6 offered a noticeable increase in power and torque, making it a better choice for those who frequently towed or drove in hilly areas. The V8 engine provided the most power, but it also had the worst fuel economy.

Interior Comfort and Cargo

The interior of a 2010 Dodge Nitro is designed with durability and functionality in mind. It features comfortable cloth or leather-trimmed seats that provide ample support and adjustability. The cabin is spacious and offers a good amount of headroom and legroom for occupants in both rows. In terms of comfort, the Nitro offers a smooth and quiet ride thanks to its well-tuned suspension. It has a comfortable seating position and good visibility all around. The climate control system effectively maintains a desired temperature, ensuring a pleasant interior environment. The cargo area of the Nitro is versatile and offers a generous amount of space for luggage or equipment. With the rear seats folded down, it provides a maximum cargo capacity of 61.3 cubic feet. The wide tailgate opening and low load floor make it easy to load and unload cargo.

Infotainment Safety Warranty

The 2010 Dodge Nitro lacked many advanced safety features common in modern vehicles, such as blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, or automatic emergency braking. Standard features included anti-lock brakes, traction control, and stability control.

The Nitro came with a basic infotainment system featuring a CD player, AM/FM radio, and auxiliary audio input. It lacked modern conveniences like a touchscreen display, smartphone integration, or a navigation system.

The Nitro's warranty coverage included a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Maintenance intervals were every 3,000 to 5,000 miles for oil changes and every 10,000 to 15,000 miles for major services.
