The DODGE NITRO (2007-10) 5DR HATCHBACK 3.7 203 SXT AUTO4 is a chunky, five-door SUV, despite the hatchback description in its model name. It sits apart from mainstream family hatchbacks, offering a high driving position, bold American styling and an automatic gearbox. In the UK used market, it is a distinctive alternative to SUVs such as the Nissan X-Trail and Honda CR-V. Mycarcheck.com recorded 129 look-ups covering 42 distinct VINs, giving a useful snapshot of examples shoppers checked. The average private-sale valuation was £2,700, while recorded mileage averaged 89,000 miles and annual mileage 5,000. Cars had an average of about 4.8 previous keepers, so condition and service history deserve close attention. It suits families or leisure drivers wanting space, character and an automatic, rather than budget commuters. Bold styling and a high seating position set it apart, but its large petrol engine can cost more to run than efficient rivals.
