Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Almost every reviewer responds well to the 2010 Dodge Nitro's beefy, masculine looks.

• "The Dodge Nitro is distinguished by its boxy styling. The exaggerated fender flares are the only rounded parts in the styling. Every other angle is square. It looks and feels larger than it is, which some will find to be a good thing." -- New Car Test Drive
• "Sharp, angular lines give the vehicle a muscular, chiseled look." -- Cars.com
• "Indeed, it's about time that one of these car companies built a compact SUV that truly appeals to anyone with a Y chromosome...." -- Car and Driver
• "I expected to dislike the Nitro, a stylistic work of conspicuous masculinity, with its cross-haired grille and muscular angularity. It is the automotive version of an adolescent male who insists on wearing a moustache and beard, although they are nothing more than unglamorous stubble." -- Washington Post
• "Without question, the...Dodge Nitro's calling card is its distinctive, squared-off exterior styling. Included in the design is the familiar Dodge crosshair grille, a clamshell-style hood and decorative side vents." -- Kelley Blue Book
