Dodge sets UK launch date for the Nitro SUV

Chrysler has confirmed production of the Dodge Nitro mid-size SUV for the 2007 model year. The Dodge Nitro, the brand's first mid-size SUV, is the second Dodge car confirmed for sale in the UK. The Dodge brand will launch with the larger SUV Dodge Caliber in July next year, and we can expect to see the Dodge Nitro on UK roads during 2007. They're interesting cars, but perhaps not the most suitable for urban settings. At least they are being offered with slightly more economical diesel engines, which is quite a surprise given the Americans' predilection for petrol-only designs. Details on engines, specifications and price have yet to be confirmed.
