Since the newly released Dodge Magnum was released two years ago, Dodge vehicles have undergone a facelift to invigorate thier lineup of vehicles. Next came the Dodge Charger and this year at the detroit auto show, two new SUVs were presented known as the Caliber and the Nitro. The Caliber being the smaller of the two sports 3 configurations of a four cylinder engine that is both lightweight and economical. The next up is the Nitro with a 210 horsepower 6 cylinder engine.

The Nitro is built on the popular Jeep Liberty platform and shares many of the vehicles specifications. Highlights of the new Nitro are its aggressive styling reminiscent of the Toyota Landcruiser but build as a midsize to compete vehicles such as the upcoming Toyota FJ Crusier, Nissan Xterra and Hummer H3. And like these vehicles, the new Nitro is boxy with wide fender flares just as this new trend comes about. The new Nitro also sports unique styling cues such as M3 style fender vents and Dodge's signature crosshair front grill.

The Nitro has an instant advantage over its competitors. Coming stock on this vehicle are its brawny, out of the box looks. The Nitro even comes stock with 20 Inch wheels. The interior is equally as impressive with two toned microfiber seats and brushed aluminum accents in the dash. In this competitive market, the Dodge Nitro does well, passing the competition handily in the looks department.

Heres some excerpts from the Dodge Nitro press release:

With a uniquely bold, powerful design statement that will ignite the mid-size SUV segment, the Dodge Nitro’s crisp lines and substantial body size create a brawny character not found in any other mid-size SUV. The Dodge Nitro’s spacious interior is both functional and flexible for people and cargo. Chrome, silver and red accents have a dynamic presence throughout the interior. The five-passenger Nitro is designed to attract a customer seeking a distinctive style, sporty performance and cargo flexibility.

At the California International Auto Show today, the Chrysler Group confirmed production of the Dodge Nitro mid-size SUV for the 2007 model year. Nitro will be the first mid-size SUV for Dodge, completing the brand’s current lineup of cars, minivans, trucks, commercial vehicles and a full-size SUV. “The Dodge Nitro will strengthen and grow the Dodge brand by allowing us to attract a new buyer,” said Steven Landry, Vice President - Dodge Marketing, Chrysler Group. “Dodge Nitro will be more than just another typical mid-size SUV; it will attract customers looking for distinctive style, affordable performance and utility.” The Dodge Nitro is based on the Dodge Nitro concept vehicle that was unveiled at the 2005 Chicago Auto Show in February, 2005. The Dodge Nitro concept vehicle, along with the Dodge Caliber concept vehicle unveiled at the 2005 Geneva Auto Show in March, 2005, signify the global expansion of the brand, and embody the bold, powerful and capable characteristics of Dodge. Both the Dodge Nitro and Dodge Caliber will be available for markets outside North America.

We are excited to see both the Dodge Caliber and Nitro as un upcoming tuner project. We expect Extreme Dimensions to release its popular "Platinum" body kit line within the first production year of the Nitro. We also expect aftermarket performance upgrades to become availible from companies such as Borla and AEM. Stay tuned as more information becomes availible for the Dodge Nitro.
