2011 Dodge Nitro
Nitro Heat. From looks to performance to overall value, Nitro Heat drivers not only want it all, they expect it all. For them, must-have features shouldn't cost more, they should be standard.
Nitro Detonator. Stand out and be noticed. Inside and out, Nitro Detonator is always dressed right for the occasion with custom-looking details. When Nitro Detonator drivers take to the streets, they take their style with them.
Nitro Shock. With top-level standard equipment, responsive performance, aggressive styling, and the luxury of leather-trimmed seats, Nitro Shock drivers look at their vehicles as extensions of their personalities.
Refined Exterior Design
This is not another look-alike SUV. With its aggressive body-color grille and bright billet inserts, pronounced body-color fender flares, tinted glass, and fierce hood graphics on Nitro Detonator and Nitro Shock models, Nitro delivers head-turning style. Large headlamps attach to the grille and taillamps wrap around for custom appearance. Standard 20-inch wheels, chrome accents, and side vent details add even more impact.
Refined Interior
Dodge Nitro doesn't check its attitude at the door. Step inside and you'll find an interior that's as striking as it is accommodating. Seating for five, an available six-way power adjustable driver's seat, and a standard 60/40 split-folding reclining rear seat that can be adjusted to take care of occupants in the most comfortable of ways. Nitro's class-exclusive fold-flat front-passenger seat transforms the molded seatback into an instant utility table for a laptop of other items. The split-folding rear seats provide the flexibility to create a nearly flat surface for added cargo-carrying capacity. Choose between cloth or leather-trimmed seats, depending on trim level. Nitro Detonator models amp things up with color-keyed inserts in Yellow, Orange, Red, or Light Slate Gray, while Nitro Shock boasts heated seats with leather trim and accent-color stitching.

Performance
Dodge Nitro Performance. Attitude without fortitude is meaningless, which is why Nitro Heat 4.0, Nitro Detonator and Nitro Shock are powered by a standard 4.0-liter V6 engine. Eager to unleash 260 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque, it's bolstered by a refined five-speed automatic transmission. A robust performance-tuned suspension helps to provide precise road handling. On 4x4 models, a part-time transfer system gives you the ability to change from two-wheel to four-wheel drive on the fly.
Safety Design
Electronic Stability Control (ESC). This package includes Brake Assist, all-speed traction control, Trailer Sway Control (when equipped with Trailer Tow Grip), and Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM). All-speed traction control monitors each wheel for slippage, estimating brake pressure and engine torque needed to control the vehicle. Trailer Sway Control engages the brakes to slow the vehicle, reduces engine torque, and helps counteract trailer sway. Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM) estimates wheel lift potential and reduces engine power with appropriate braking to help stabilize the vehicle.
4-Wheel Antilock Brake System (ABS). Standard four-wheel antilock disc brakes afford premium stopping power from state-of-the-art electronics that provide faster system response. ABS senses and prevents wheel lockup, offering improved steering control under extreme braking and/or slippery conditions.
Air Bags. All Dodge Nitro models feature standard advanced multistage driver and front-passenger air bags and supplemental side-curtain air bags with roll sensing technology. Also standard: Front seat active head restraints move forward and upward in the event of a rear-end collision to decrease the space between the head restraint and occupant's head, thereby helping to reduce the chance of injury.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System. A warning light in the instrument cluster alerts the driver to tires with high or low pressure. An available premium system displays individual tire pressures.
Parksense Rear Park Assist System. This available system uses sensors and controls to inform the driver as objects get closer, allowing a better determination of distance from objects while driving in reverse.
