The four-door of the American brand, the «donor» for which was the «Chinese» GAC Trumpchi Empow, is already available in Mexico in three versions, the prices are known.
The previous Dodge Attitude, which is still available on the Mexican market, is a clone of the pre-reform small sedan Mitsubishi Mirage/Attrage. Earlier it became known that the model will change generations: photo spies caught prototypes of the new product during tests, in addition, the future sedan has already been played out in a local reality show. And at the same time, only at the beginning of this month did the official announcement of the next Attitude appear, accompanied by the first teaser. Now the model has been completely declassified.
Teaser of the new Dodge Attitude
As Kolesa.ru reported earlier, the new generation four-door has changed its “donor”: the current Dodge Attitude has become a twin of a larger car of the Chinese brand – GAC Trumpchi Empow, the production of which was launched in 2021. By the way, within the framework of the partnership between the Chinese manufacturer and the auto giant Stellantis (it owns the “regular” brand), another model was previously created – about three years ago, the Dodge Journey crossover entered the Mexican market, which is a slightly restyled GAC Trumpchi GS5.

The new Dodge Attitude is based on the global version of the Empow sedan with a sports body kit. Note that in its native China, this four-door GAC was recently updated. The only noticeable visual difference in Dodge, in addition to logos and nameplates, is the design of the radiator grille in the form of a grid (the «donor» has vertically arranged double wedges). The model has 17- and 18-inch wheels, four body color options — white, silver, gray and black.
The dimensions of the new Dodge product are the same as those of the “celestial” twin. Its length is 4700 mm (455 mm more than its predecessor), and the distance between the axles is 2736 mm (186 mm more). The next Attitude in the Mexican market is expected to compete with the Volkswagen Jetta, Nissan Sentra, Mazda3 and Hyundai Elantra.

The interior of the model was also inherited from the “donor”, so on the front panel there is a large horizontal display, combining both the touchscreen of the infotainment system (diagonal – 10.25 inches), and a virtual instrument panel of the same size in the middle and top versions (in the basic version – 7 inches).
The list of equipment also probably includes modern assistants: adaptive cruise control, automatic braking systems, lane keeping and road sign recognition. The old Dodge Attitude cannot boast such equipment. The standard equipment also includes: six airbags, LED headlights, rain sensor, rear view camera, stabilization system and electric parking brake. More expensive versions have dual-zone climate control, a sunroof, heated and ventilated seats, electrically adjustable front seats, and a wireless smartphone charging function.
