Aimed directly at the Toyota Yaris and the Ford Fiesta, the Attitude is little more than a re-badged Mitsubishi Mirage G4. The front end of the Attitude stands out from the Mirage thanks to a hexagonal rendition of Dodge’s trademarked cross-hair radiator grille but the two cars are all but identical from the A-pillar to the rear bumper.
The story is the same on the inside, where the cockpit is carried over from the Mirage essentially unchanged save for a Dodge emblem prominently placed on the three-spoke steering wheel. Attitude buyers can choose from two trim levels called SE and SXT, respectively.
The Attitude is exclusively offered with a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine that makes 79 horsepower and 78 lb-ft. of torque. A five-speed manual gearbox comes standard and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) is available at an extra cost on both trims. Dodge’s newest sedan returns 47 mpg in the city and over 63 mpg on the highway in its most efficient configuration.
The 2015 Dodge Attitude is on sale now across Mexico with a base price of about 158,000 pesos, a sum that converts to roughly $10,500. Dodge is not planning on selling the Attitude in the United States.
