Fiat Egea

Synopsis

Fiat has planned an update for its Linea sedan and most probably it is expected to get a name change also. Fiat Aegea, as it is being called all over, is a full size sedan having all the basic and plenty of luxury features to be offered to the customers. It is expected to be here at the end of 2015 or if this time misses out, be sure for it in the early 2016.

Exterior

The car comes with very influential design, felling quiet sharp from the existing Fiat line-up. The feel seems to be premium as the car has been made by taking proper care of using least possible chrome and the amount being used in proper and arranged manner. The grill is perfect, with a perfect hood above the gently designed bumper. The headlights are aggressive and the rear lights feel more like a boomerang, complicated yet beautiful.

Interior

The car comes with all black interior with very beautifully inserted silver accents to it. The seats, the doors and every single element seem to be perfectly finished and come with an excellent built quality from Fiat. The 5 inch touchscreen works for the entertainment as well as the utility purposes including navigation and reverse parking.

Engine & Performance

The Fiat Aegea is expected to be with 3 engine options, one being a petrol engine and the other 2 being diesel motors. The most expected and useful engine is said to be the 1.6L Multijet diesel engine, producing an expected 120 BHP. The performance will be up to the mark and the engine is expected with a 6-speed manual transmission. 7-speed automatic is also expected but with a delay in its launch.

Braking

The new Aegea comes with disc brakes for the front whereas the rear is expected to carry the same. It can be skipped for cost cutting in India, but with a 1.6L engine, it’s good to have all disc brakes for passenger safety and ease of mind.

Comfort & Safety

Fiat has always been very specific regarding the comfort level of their cars and the upcoming sedan will be featuring all the comfort enhancing features like Rain sensing wipers, engine start/stop button and fully automatic climate control. Plenty of other features would be added by Fiat in order to make every ride, a joy ride. Aegea will feature ABS and EBD, whereas brake assist is expected on the upcoming sedan. Speed sensitive door locks and smart key will make safer possibilities than before.

Expected Ex-showroom Price

The Fiat Aegea is expected to be with a price tag of INR 10,00,000 for the 1.6L motor, having 100 percent possibilities of lower trims with a cheaper price tag.
