2007 Dodge Nitro SUV
Dodge Nitro test drive | Click here for the concept car. | New 7-12-07: Euronews - EuroNitros
The Dodge Nitro was based on the best-selling Jeep Liberty, but it was a “leapfrog” — it had elements of the 2008 Liberty as well as unique features, such as a new, torquey 4.0 liter V6 engine (the base engine is the familiar 3.7 liter V6). Transmissions were a six-speed manual or an automatic - four speeds for the 3.7 and five speeds for the 4.0.
The Nitro suspension was engineeered to suit the needs of on-road drivers, and the comfort level is generally higher. The Dodge Nitro SUV is longer than the Liberty, can tow 5,000 pounds, and has an optional sports suspension package (standard on the Nitro R/T and optional on the SLT). A new feature, the sliding cargo floor, lets you slide out the cargo bay floor 18 inches for easier loading; it holds up to 400 pounds. The Nitro also has a fold-flat front-row passenger seat, still unusual in an SUV.

Don Wagner parked his 2007 Nitro R/T near the WPC Museum for the CEMA car show, and when he returned to it, there was another silver Nitro R/T next to it, with some differences. The backup lights were centered in the cluster instead of at the bottom; there was a CRD badge on the tailgate, lower right; the front bumper was smoother across and the lower fascia air dam was better integrated into the front end; there were side marker turn signal repeaters just aft of the front fender flares; and the VIN had an 8 in the year position. He (and we) believe this is a pre-production European Nitro with a diesel engine, possibly the Bosch/Mercedes 3.2L V-6. He promised to send photos...
American trim levels
The 2007 Nitro has three trim levels, SXT, SLT, and R/T. The R/T includes a performance suspension, 20-inch tires, and chrome-clad aluminum wheels (all three are optional on the SLT). The base SXT start at $19,885 (rear wheel drive); the SLT at $23,295; and the R/T at $25,970. Four wheel drive was about $1,600 extra. We test drove the SLT an expect the 4.0 liter version to be a real rocket in everyday driving - with instant-on acceleration beyond what sprint times would indicate.
4.0 liter engine
The performance-oriented 4.0-liter SOHC V-6 engine, an enhanced version of the reliable 3.5 V6, delivers 255 hp (190 kW) at 5,800 rpm and 265 lb.-ft. torque (360 N•m) at 4,200 rpm. The engine provides more power and torque than the 3.5 with emphasis on low- and mid-range operation to meet the needs of the day-to-day driver (so the absolute horsepower ratings do not fully convey its performance). It is one of the quietest engines of its size, and is standard on the Dodge Nitro R/T.
3.7 liter engine
The 3.7-liter SOHC V-6 engine produces 210 hp (157 kW) @ 5,200 rpm and 235 lb.-ft. (319 N•m) @ 4,000 rpm. Refinements in the valve train and combustion chamber, working together as a system, enhance low-speed torque while providing a smooth idle and minimal engine noise. A sophisticated Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system tailors throttle response to pedal movement based on operating conditions, and maintains a consistent vehicle speed on rolling grades when cruise control is active.
Diesel
For key diesel markets outside North America, the Dodge Nitro can be fitted with a diesel engine. Filip Norrgård provided these details:
Name: Panther 2.8 CRD (Common Rail Diesel)
Delivers: 130 kW or 177 hp
Torque: 410 Nm (about 303 lb ft) [at which rpm is never mentioned]
Transmission: 5 speed automatic or 6 speed manual
Gas mileage, Highway: 6,9 l/100 km -- about 34 MPG
Gas mileage, EU combined: 8,6 l/100 km -- about 27 MPG (manual transmission)
Dodge Nitro production
On August 15, 2006, the Dodge Nitro entered production. Thanks to flexible manufacturing, it is made on the same line as the Jeep Liberty, with a $600 million investment that added 150 robots and expanded the plant by 160,000 square feet; this investment will presumably pay off with future models as well.
The Toledo North Plant was extensively retooled to manage the complexity of building two different models on one production line and to improve quality, productivity, and worker ergonomics. The retooling of Toledo North is part of $3.9 billion spent on Toledo manufacturing capabilities that include an original $1.2 billion to build Toledo North (opening in 2001) and $2.1 billion for Chrysler’s Toledo Supplier Park, home of the 2007 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited.
“Toledo traditionally has been the home of the iconic Jeep Wrangler,” said Byron Green, Vice President – Truck and Activity Vehicle Assembly. "But with two new, modern plants and four products, Toledo has become an epicenter of Chrysler Group’s manufacturing capabilities. The innovative manufacturing changes currently taking place in Toledo have allowed TNAP to manufacture multiple products on one production line, giving the Company the ability to quickly adapt vehicle production to meet customer demand."
Chrysler Group's Flexible Manufacturing Strategy allows the company to efficiently build lower-volume vehicles that take advantage of market niches, and to quickly shift production volumes between different models within a single plant or among multiple plants. FMS is being implemented product by product and plant by plant across the Chrysler Group. New investment is enabling the company to produce more than one vehicle on a production line and conduct rolling launches of new models. Chrysler Group's workforce is becoming more flexible with the implementation of empowered teams and an increased emphasis on supporting assembly line operators.
At the core of the new process is a body shop with 150 robots instead of the vehicle-specific heavy tooling that was previously used. The door, hood and liftgate assembly system is new, as are the side aperture assembly systems. Only the robots' "hands" need to change to build the different models, and that is done automatically, within the time it takes to cycle from one vehicle to the next. TNAP can vary production between two products anywhere from 0 to 100 percent of each model. A third model can also be piloted — or test-built — at the same time, helping reduce the time needed to make new-model changeovers.
New methods of material flow are being implemented to manage the complexity of two models being built on one assembly line. An inbound parts sequencing center is housed in the adjoining Stickney complex and manages more than 1,800 different parts that are used in the Dodge Nitro, Jeep Liberty and Toledo Supplier Park's Jeep Wrangler two-door and Jeep Wrangler Unlimited four-door build process. In addition to sequencing, this center provides parts metering, kitting and container management to both Toledo North and Toledo Supplier Park Assembly Plants. Furthermore, a significant portion of the TNAP facility will be fork-truck-free as dollies will provide materials to production areas, improving both employee safety and productivity measurements.
A new model, Smart Manufacturing, is increasing the flexibility of the TNAP workforce, while fostering greater creativity and innovation from plant employees. This model is being implemented throughout the Chrysler Group's Manufacturing organization. In addition to extensive training, the new workplace model lets employees design their own work stations. These changes provide a better work environment for employees and give increased support to assembly line team members. (This is presumably part of the empowered team system of management.)
Dodge Nitro suspension
The Dodge Nitro features an independent front suspension and an five-link rear suspension, neither of which was carried over from the Liberty. The independent front suspension gives the driver an optimum combination of ride, handling and steering, providing a greater sense of control and precision. The solid five-link rear suspension, including upper and lower trailing links and track bar, provides higher lateral stiffness for vehicle responsiveness and outstanding handling. Ample suspension wheel travel is provided to maintain consistent ride quality, especially when the vehicle is loaded or towing a trailer.
The new performance suspension offered on the Dodge Nitro R/T and SLT models features a revised sway bar, springs, shocks, bushings and 20-inch tires and wheels for improved cornering and increased traction.
Effort, feel and response on the Nitro’s rack-and-pinion steering system is tuned to give the driver precise control and positive feedback from the steering force exerted by the tires. The steering linkage design allows for a tighter turning circle.
Three different Dodge Nitro Transmissions
Three transmissions are offered on the Dodge Nitro: a six-speed manual transmission, a four-speed automatic and a five-speed automatic. (Even though a six-speed automatic - silky smooth and well mannered - is available on the Pacifica, it isn't an option on the Nitro).
The six-speed manual transmission is standard on the Dodge Nitro 4x2 and 4x4 models with the 3.7-liter V-6 engine. It provides improved quietness and high quality. For smooth operation, first and second gears have triple-cone synchronization, the third and fourth gears feature double-cone and the fifth and sixth gears single-cone synchronization. Hard-finished gears allow for quiet operation. A multi-rail, steel-construction shift system delivers high strength and precision. The two-piece aluminum case with integrated clutch housing assures powertrain stiffness and low weight. The new first-gear ratios combined with six-speed step spread allows optimization of axle ratios for fuel economy and performance.
Transmission ratios for the six-speed manual are 4.46, 2.61, 1.72, 1.25, 1.0, and 0.84; reverse is 4.06.
The four-speed variable line pressure automatic transmission is optional on the Dodge Nitro and standard on the Dodge Nitro SLT; it is used with the 3.7 liter engine. Transmission ratios are 2.84, 1.57, 1.0, and 0.69, with a reverse of 2.21.
The five-speed automatic transmission is mated to the 4.0-liter V-6 engine; it features Electronic Range Select (ERS) interactive shift control. The shifter provides fully-automated shifting when in the Drive position, or the driver can manually select each gear by moving the shifter left and right from the Drive position (it’s also known as AutoStick). Transmission ratios for the five-speed automatic are 3.59, 2.19, 1.41, 1.0, 0.83, and Reverse 3.16.
Part-time and Full-Time Four-wheel Drive Systems
The Dodge Nitro 4x4 features a standard part-time four-wheel drive system with the manual transmission and a full-time all-wheel drive system with automatic transmissions. Two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive modes are electronically controlled by a switch in the center console which can be selected at any time with the part-time four-wheel drive system. The full-time all-wheel drive system does not have a 2WD mode and has no console switch.
Dodge Nitro SUV brakes
Four-wheel disc anti-lock brakes are standard. Large rotors contribute to excellent stopping. Front rotors have inverted hat construction (vent openings are on the outboard side of the rotor) to improve cooling compared to conventional inboard venting. This also helps to minimize high-temperature deformation for long-term smooth operation.
A Brake Traction Control System (BTCS) is also standard. BTCS transfers torque from one wheel to another on the same axle when wheel slip conditions are detected.
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP), a standard feature, aids the driver in maintaining vehicle directional stability in severe driving maneuvers on any type of surface. Using signals from sensors throughout the vehicle, ESP determines the appropriate brake and throttle adjustments for directional stability of the vehicle. Other safety and control systems are electronic roll mitigation and side-curtain airbags.
The 2007 Dodge Nitro will be produced at the Toledo (Ohio) North Assembly Plant alongside (or mixed in with) the Jeep Liberty.
Dodge Nitro features and such
A new Chrysler Group feature is standard on SLT and R/T models: the LOAD ’N GO™ cargo floor that slides 18 inches rearward for easy and convenient loading and unloading of packages, and can hold up to 400 pounds. It is made of a heavy-duty plastic for easy cleaning. A compact utility table is an available option on the Dodge Nitro model.
Other available options include a DVD-based navigation system with traffic data update, rear-seat DVD entertainment system, AM/FM/6-disc/DVD/MP3 audio with premium speakers with a subwoofer, remote start, UConnect, and Sirius Satellite Radio.
Chrysler Group previously announced that the Dodge brand will expand to Europe and volume markets overseas, and the Dodge Nitro will be part of that expansion. The vehicle will be available in markets outside North America, in both left- and right-hand drive, by the first quarter of 2007.
The 2007 Dodge Nitro will be built at the Toledo (Ohio) North Assembly Plant alongside the Jeep® Liberty. Dodge Nitro will arrive in U.S. dealerships later in 2006 as a 2007 model year vehicle.
Design and other Dodge Nitro gushing
The new SUV is based on the Dodge Nitro concept unveiled at the 2005 Chicago Auto Show and will be available in three models — Dodge Nitro, Dodge Nitro SLT and Dodge Nitro R/T.
Nitro designers used strong and confident themes. Intrinsic to every Dodge vehicle is the bold crosshair grille (body color on the R/T and chrome on the others), with a three-dimensional ram’s head. Rectangular headlamps that prominently wrap the corners of the vehicle and a clamshell hood complete the front-end.
The side features a deep-body section and high beltline. Chrome vents positioned on each front fender add to the flair. The wheels, pushed to the corners for better ride and handling, are surrounded by bold wheel arches. Standard on the Dodge Nitro R/T and optional on the Dodge Nitro SLT are 20-inch tires and chrome-clad aluminum wheels.
The side-view mirrors were developed in the Chrysler Group wind tunnel in Auburn Hills, Mich., in conjunction with the form of the A-pillar. The result is an aerodynamically efficient design that minimizes wind noise, helping to create a quieter cabin.
The door handles have a solid, strong feel and are easy to grip, even with a gloved hand. In the center of the door handle is a deep, horizontal groove, a design cue that is repeated inside on the map pocket, door panels and instrument panel. Dodge designers chose to black-out the C-pillar of the vehicle which makes the second-row and rear-windows appear more horizontal, amplifying the vehicle’s sporty nature. The rear features beveled taillamps and a lighted license visor.
The front fascia, headlamps, rear fascia and taillamps are designed to meet international requirements.
Inside the Dodge Nitro
The interior of the five-passenger Dodge Nitro is spacious, functional and flexible for people and cargo. The headliner is shrink-wrapped to allow maximum headroom and there is plenty of leg room for first- and second-row passengers.
A three-pod, four-gauge instrument cluster is designed for right- or left-hand drive. The chunky steering wheel gives the driver a perception and feeling of a bigger vehicle. The instrument panel is nearly identical to that of the Avenger/Sebring in basic form, as is the center stack; we wonder if Chrysler is actually using some of the same parts across both vehicles.
Brushed silver accents appear on the door handles, center console, gear shift and HVAC controls. The Dodge Nitro SLT and Dodge Nitro R/T receive additional chrome detail on the steering wheel, instrument cluster, first-row grab handle and center console. The gear shifter and control buttons are substantial in size and bold by design.
The center console storage bin is deep and wide enough to house CDs or DVDs and has a tray that sits atop it for additional storage. The center console offers three spaces that can accommodate hand-held PDAs, cell phones or coins. The driver- and passenger-side doors each have deep compartments; behind the driver’s seat is a wide and easy-to-reach map pocket. Two cup-holders are located in the first and second rows.
A choice of vinyl or cloth seats are available on the Dodge Nitro, with leather seats available on the R/T and SLT; the seat structure is new, thinner but more supportive. Standard on the Dodge Nitro SLT is the new YES Essentials® cloth seats, an advanced seating upholstery that offers three benefits: repelling stains, controlling odor and reducing static electricity. The technology is designed to withstand endless cleanings and should not rub off or change the texture or comfort of the seats or surfaces during ownership of the vehicle. The upholstery also controls bacteria-based odors inside the vehicle.
The Dodge Nitro has a fold-flat front passenger seat, as well as fold-flat second-row seats. The second-row seats also recline for added passenger comfort. Standard on the Dodge Nitro SLT and Dodge Nitro R/T is the LOAD ’N GO™ cargo floor which slides 18 inches rearward for easy and convenient loading and unloading of packages. The LOAD ’N GO cargo floor can hold up to 400 pounds and is made of a heavy-duty plastic for easy cleaning. Standard on the Dodge Nitro model is a reversible load floor, and a compact utility table is optional.
The Dodge Nitro features two new exterior colors — Sunburst Orange and Electric Blue. Also available will be Inferno Red, Light Khaki, Bright Silver, Black and Stone White.
