In China the new SUV will be aimed straight at the successful Volkswagen Tiguan, Skoda Yeti, and Ford Kuga (Escape). Power will come from a 1.4 turbo T-Jet engine in two different tunes: 120hp or 150hp, both mated to a 5-speed manual or a DCT. The new SUV will be manufactured by the Guangzhou-Fiat joint venture that also makes the Fiat Viaggio and will soon start making the Jeep Cherokee.

Price for the new SUV will start around 175.000 yuan and end around 225.000 yuan.

  1. In Europe , Fiat means low quality at cars, big prices at cars , problems in service (unskilled mechanics) , high prices at changes parts, low quality at changes parts (original parts) , not care what happen with cars after sale. My Fiat – 3 steering boxes damaged in 75000 km !! and many other parts damaged. Fiat told me – ,,is not our problem,, !!!!!
