Two New Fiat Models Will Debut In 2023

The new Fiat models are believed to be a small crossover SUV and a small electric city car. Both models are expected to be built on a new platform that has been developed by Stellantis specifically for electric vehicles. The company’s new eCMP platform was developed in partnership with French automaker Groupe PSA. The platform is designed to be modular and flexible, making it well-suited for a variety of vehicle types and powertrain options. The new platform will allow the company to produce electric vehicles that are more efficient and have a longer range than current models.

The small crossover SUV is expected to be a replacement for the Fiat 500X, which has been on the market since 2014. The new model will likely offer improved performance, efficiency, and technology features compared to its predecessor. The electric city car, on the other hand, is expected to be a successor to the current Fiat 500 model, which has been a popular city car for many years. The new model is expected to have a modern design and will be available with a range of advanced features such as autonomous driving technology.

The company already offers several electrified models across its various brands, including the Fiat 500 Electric and the Jeep Wrangler 4xe.

Tavares also emphasized that Stellantis is committed to offering affordable, high-quality vehicles that meet the needs of customers around the world. The new Fiat models are expected to be competitively priced, making them accessible to a wide range of consumers.

The launch of a compact electric SUV and a city car demonstrates Stellantis’ commitment to producing affordable and environmentally friendly vehicles that meet the needs of modern consumers.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
