Dodge Nitro Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2006–2011) — First Generation
The first-generation Dodge Nitro offers more than a choice of fuel type. If you’re considering this five-door SUV, pay attention to how the engine, gearbox and driven wheels fit your everyday journeys.
Selected Dodge Nitro engine combinations include the diesel 2.8 AT with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, and the gasoline 3.7 MT with a manual and all-wheel drive. The diesel 2.8 MT pairs a manual with rear-wheel drive. For everyday use, an automatic eases your workload in traffic, while a manual gives you direct control over gear selection.
