The DODGE NITRO (2007-10) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.8 CRD 174 SE is a chunky, five-door SUV, despite the hatchback wording in its model name. Its upright shape and bold American styling make it stand out from more conventional family cars, while its size and raised seating suit drivers wanting a commanding view. In the UK used market, it is a distinctive alternative to mainstream compact SUVs. Mycarcheck.com records 349 look-ups covering 154 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot of interest in this older Dodge. Checks show an average private-sale value of £2,400 and average recorded mileage of 109,000 miles; typical annual mileage is 5,000. The data also shows an average of nearly six previous keepers, so buyers should review each car’s history and condition carefully rather than assume every example has had the same use. The 2.8 CRD diesel and roomy cabin make the Nitro suited to families, outdoor hobbies and drivers covering varied roads, though its size is less handy in tight streets than a small car. Its styling gives it more character than compact SUV rivals, but check costs and service history.
