Hachi wants to bring a blockbuster news to riders today! The all-new Dodge Attitude real car was unveiled for the first time in Mexico. This is not an ordinary Dodge, but a "foreign face" version of our domestic model GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard. It is expected to be officially unveiled in the Mexico market in August and September this year, and Xiaoba can't wait to see it.
Speaking of this attitude, it's kind of interesting. Its predecessor in Mexico was a rebranded version of Mitsubishi Mirage, but this time it was a "makeover" and turned into our Trumpchi Shadow Leopard. This can't help but make Xiaoba sigh, the strength of domestic cars is really not to be underestimated!
The most important thing everyone cares about must be the price, right? Xiaoba will do the math for you: the starting price of the previous generation of Attitude in Mexico is about 102,800 yuan. And our Trumpchi Shadow Leopard sells for 108,000-158,000 yuan in China. Although the specific price of the new car has not yet come out, it is estimated that it will not be too far behind. In this way, the cost performance is still very competitive.
In terms of appearance, the new Attitude is basically the familiar shape of the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, but the logo of "GAC Trumpchi" has been replaced with "DODGE". LED headlights, 16 to 18-inch alloy wheels, these configurations should not be missing. Xiaoba feels that this style on the streets of Mexico will definitely attract a lot of heads!
When it comes to size, the new Attitude is a lap bigger than its predecessor, the Dodge Dart. With a length of 4,700 mm and a wheelbase of 2,736 mm, it is 28 mm and 33 mm longer than the Dart, respectively. What does this mean? That's more space, friends!
In terms of interior, Hachi heard that the new car may be equipped with a 7-inch full LCD instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch large central control screen. Add in high-tech features such as adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warning, and that's pretty impressive. Driving such a car in Mexico makes you feel cool and safe just thinking about it!
Although the powertrain has not been officially announced, it is said that it will likely be equipped with a 1.5T engine. With a maximum power of 125 kW (170 hp), a peak torque of 270 Nm·, and a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, this powertrain is definitely the best in its class.
Interestingly, this Attitude is not the "first date" between Stellantis and GAC Group in Mexico. Earlier, our Trumpchi GS5 had already "out on the street" in Mexico as a Dodge Journey. It seems that both parties are very confident in this cooperation!
In the Mexico market, the main rivals of the new Attitude are said to be models such as the Mazda 3 and Kia K4. To be honest, Hachi feels that Attitude, with its excellent appearance, rich configuration and strong power, is fully capable of wrestling with these veteran players.
Overall, the unveiling of the all-new Dodge Attitude not only demonstrates the strength of China's auto industry, but also sets a new milestone for our cars to go overseas. Xiaoba sincerely hopes that it can shine in the Mexico market and win more applause for Chinese cars on the international stage. Let's look forward to its official release.
