Allows the brand to compete again in the largest segment of the Mexican market
27/01/2015
-- Mérida, Yucatán.
It is not new to anyone that the US firm Dodge never had a proper product which could compete in the most important segment of the Mexican market, ie the subcompact.
However, this situation did not prevent the brand in our country he managed to participate in a category that clearly is strategic in Mexico. So he turned to the Korean manufacturer Hyundai to market in 2004 Verna by Dodge. A couple of years later, in 2006 and until 2011 was sold the first Attitude, who was none other than a previous generation Hyundai Accent. In 2012 the Accent was renewed again and consequently also the Attitude, already a much better sedan made in terms of design, finishes and equipment, which was positioned slightly above its predecessor, however
the arrival of the manufacturer Korean to Mexico independently Dodge left as in other segments without an exponent in the subcompact sedans.
For 2015, Dodge is completely focused on re-fill the spaces termination of its agreement with Hyundai left. And although its nature distinctly American brand means that no copies in the subcompact segment,
Chrysler of Mexico makes use of all resources at its disposal either by FIAT or as in the case of this resurrected Attitude which is now provided by the Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi.
The Dodge Attitude 2015 then and as we had anticipated a few months ago , is the sedan in other markets is marketed as Mitsubishi Attrage and that is none other than the variant of three bodies newcomer to our market
Mirage is a hatchback.
This means that share mechanics, ie
the same three-cylinder 1.2-liter engine with 76 hp and 74 lb-ft of torque that can be attached to manual transmission 5-speed automatic or CVT.
Depending on the version, the Attitude 2015 offers ABS, EBD, front bags, glass and mirrors, boot and system access through smart key, steering wheel controls, Bluetooth interface, USB, radio Sony removable cover and air conditioning. The trunk meanwhile offers 450 liters of capacity.
It should be mentioned that the rebadge (these minor cosmetic adjustments to make it look like Dodge and not as Mitsubishi) is better able to grill centers, wheels, steering wheel and even key
will never have the emblem Dodge and is not anywhere ( while not destapemos a mechanical component) and one three-diamond logo, which in previous Attitude did not happen, as we could see the Italian Hyundai H everywhere.
First contact
The Attitude is its main strengths in the excellent space for rear occupants, good level of equipment in relation to its rivals like Chevrolet Aveo , Volkswagen Gol Sedan , Nissan Tiida or Hyundai Grand i10 Sedan . Depending on the brand, this small sedan is capable of delivering returns of up to 27 km / l on the road and although we have to see how much delivery in real conditions, the fact is that it should be an interesting figure.
The accelerations are definitely not his forte, but we must make it clear that is not designed for that and instead itself was designed to be a spacious, flexible, durable vehicle and should offer low operating costs.
No doubt that the CVT transmissions have improved greatly in recent times and is that even though in this case is coupled to a small motor and very little torque generally offers more than decent performance. It does not feel slow or costing well exploit the torque, but as we approach the tachometer red zone if you filter more noise from the ideal to the carrier.
