2011 dodge nitro Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...In performance testing, a rear-drive Nitro with the 4.0-liter engine went from zero to 60 mph in 7.7 seconds while a 4x4 model hit the target speed in 8.2 seconds.

2011 Dodge Nitro Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...I found acceleration to be OK, but not great from a standstill. It didn't exactly lumber away from the lights like a heavy-duty pickup, but it wasn't a sports car either. And, like I said, passing power was OK. Stopping the Nitro was also middle-of-the-road: I didn't find the brakes to be horrible or great — just middle ground.
