Alleged 2016 Dodge Neon (rebadged Fiat Tipo) leaked - Report

Is drawn up for Mexico.

A leaked presentation screenshot posted by Ferd Fanpage has revealed that Dodge will bring back the 'Neon' nameplate through the Fiat Tipo. The sedan, which is currently made in Turkey for Europe, Africa and Middle East, is expected to be sold in Mexico starting this year.

The exterior will feature the characteristic Dodge grille and a revised bumper. The interior has not been revealed, but we expect Dodge to replace the badges and interior color options with their choices. The dimensions of the 2016 Dodge Neon would also be similar to the Tipo; measuring 4.5 meters in length, 2.64 meters in wheelbase, 1.78 meters in width and 1.48 meters in height. The Tipo comes with a 510 liter boot.
