The 2018 Fiat C-SUV will be a completely new crossover from this Italian manufacturer. Despite the fact that crossovers are among most popular types of vehicles nowadays, Fiat has just one model on offer. It is a model called 500X, derived from subcompact Fiat 500. So, we will see something completely new from the Italian brand. According to the latest reports, the new model is in the final stage of development and it should come maybe already early next year. It will be a compact crossover, a bigger class than 500X. We still don’t know its exact name, but since it will belong to so-called C-segment, we will call it 2018 C-SUV for now. The new model will enter the segment where are strong competitors like Ford Kuga, Nissan Qashqai etc.
2018 Fiat C-SUV redesign and features
The 2018 Fiat C-SUV will be a completely new model. At this point, we don’t know exact details about the new model, but some of the characteristics are for sure. It will be a compact crossover, first of this type in company’s history. Italian car maker doesn’t have much of experience in making SUVs and crossover, but it owns legendary Jeep brand, which produces only vehicles of this type. So, Italians will use the experience of the legendary American manufacturer. The 2018 Fiat C-SUV will have close relations with several Jeep models, but mostly with new Compass. According to the latest reports, new crossover will ride on the same platform and feature many same design solutions. However, it will be significantly different in terms of styling, where we expect to see Fiat’s recognizable design language, with some new details. Interior will also come with many familiar solutions, but also with some brand-new things.
