After surprising everyone with the Uncamouflaged sightings of the future Fiat Grizzly Fastback, it is now the family version of the Fiat Grizzly that's been making headlines. New spy photos show the Italian SUV on the road, and this time there's a particularly interesting detail: it appears to be the 7-seat configuration of the future model.
This is far from trivial news. Fiat isn’t just developing a new SUV to compete with Dacia. The Italian automaker also plans to appeal to large families with a vehicle that can seat up to seven passengers, while maintaining a starting price that is expected to remain particularly competitive.
A family SUV that no longer tries to hide
The photos released in recent days show a vehicle that looks very much like The first official images of the Fiat Grizzly unveiled by the brand. Unlike the heavily camouflaged prototypes that came before, this time the SUV appears in what is essentially its final form.
Viewed from the side and especially from a three-quarter rear angle, the model features proportions that are slightly different from those of the Grizzly Fastback. Here, there’s no SUV coupe silhouette. Fiat clearly prioritizes interior space. The rear doors appear longer, and the rear end has been designed with a more vertical profile to create more space for passengers. This is a logical choice for accommodating a third row of seats in a vehicle that will remain relatively compact.
The Citroën C3 Aircross formula, with a Fiat twist
This strategy is immediately reminiscent of the one implemented by Stellantis with the recent Citroën C3 Aircross and Opel Frontera. Like its technical cousins, the future Grizzly will be based on the Smart Car platform and is expected to be approximately 4.4 meters long. Despite its compact size, Fiat seems to have found a way to offer both a 5-seat and a 7-seat version. Spy photos also suggest that the brand has optimized the wheelbase and rear cabin space to maximize the available interior room.
The goal is clear: to offer families a more affordable alternative to traditional large SUVs, without producing a vehicle longer than 4.7 meters. This approach aligns perfectly with Fiat’s new strategy, which aims to re-enter the family car segment after several years of focusing primarily on city cars.
A design inspired by the Giant Panda
Although Fiat has not yet officially revealed all the details of the model, its general design is now well known. The Fiat Grizzly adopts the design language introduced by the Grande Panda, featuring a very vertical front end, pixelated lighting signatures, and a rugged silhouette that prioritizes practicality over sportiness. Here’s a rendering of the Fiat Grizzly in various colors.
The overall design looks modern without being over-the-top. This positioning seems perfectly suited to families looking for a simple, spacious, and appealing vehicle. Faced with competitors like the Dacia Duster or even the Bigster, Fiat is banking more on Italian style and brand identity than on the sole logic of the lowest price.
Gasoline, hybrid, and electric vehicles on the agenda
Under the hood, no major surprises are expected. Fiat is expected to use the same engines already found in other models built on the Smart Car platform.
The entry-level model is expected to feature a 1.2-liter turbocharged gasoline engine producing 100 chevaux, paired with a manual transmission. This configuration is essential for achieving the brand’s target starting price. The 110- or 145-chevaux hybrid versions are expected to form the core of the lineup, while a 113-chevaux all-electric variant is also planned for European markets.
This diversity will enable Fiat to meet the very different needs of each country, while maintaining a common technical architecture that keeps development costs down.
A price that could become its main selling point
For several months now, all signs have pointed to Fiat wanting to make a big splash with its pricing. As as we mentioned, the Italian automaker is aiming for a starting price of around 20,000 euros for its new SUV. If this goal is confirmed, the Grizzly could quickly become one of the most affordable family SUVs on the European market. Few automakers currently offer a 5- or 7-seat vehicle at this price point.
That is precisely what could set it apart from increasingly expensive competitors. Fiat seems intent on reviving the philosophy that made the Panda such a historic success: offering the essentials, with plenty of space and at a reasonable price.
See you in the fall of 2026
The Grizzly’s development now appears to be entering its final phase. Between the numerous sightings of the Grizzly Fastback in Morocco and Italy, the first official images released by Fiat, and now this 7-seat version spotted on the road, the pieces of the puzzle are starting to fall into place.
All signs point to the first press test drives taking place as early as September or October 2026. The general public is then expected to get its first official look at the Fiat Grizzly and the Fiat Grizzly Fastback at the Paris Motor Show in October, with orders opening shortly thereafter.

How awful!!! No charm at all… Just a big, thick book
It's clear that funeral homes have found their perfect vehicle in this model!!!!
Sorry, but knowing how capable this vehicle is off-road, even if it's more expensive, I'm going to go with a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Hi Scudric, did you know that the Junior is available through social leasing? Can you imagine leasing a BMW, an Audi, or a Mercedes-Benz through social leasing?
Honestly, PSA really did everything it could to bring Alfa Romeo down…
Why? Is Alfa reserved for an elite? A caste of people who look down on those who drive a Clio or a Fiat 500?
What kind of attitude is that??
Fred
This has nothing to do with a matter of mindset but rather with the brands’ positioning, and Potté is absolutely right once again: you don’t sell an Alfa or a Lancia the same way you sell a FIAT 500 or an Abarth 500X.
When you’re looking for a brand that’s purely about performance, you need to be aware of the price, the maintenance, and the prestige associated with a brand like Alfa Romeo or Lancia—and even more so with Maserati, which embodies the DNA of both of those brands.
Do they sell Maseratis at low prices? No, and well, it's the same here.
I believe it was already a big mistake to release the Junior, a car that has nothing to do with either Alfa Romeo or a premium brand.
The people who claim that it saved Alfa Romeo don’t understand how important a premium brand’s image is, and that sales volume is irrelevant compared to profit margins.
And the Junior isn’t even manufactured at a dedicated Alfa Romeo plant, so it offers no benefits.
That's completely different.
You might want to drive something different—something more upscale and unique—without necessarily having to sell a kidney every time you get your car serviced under the pretext that «My good sir, you understand, you have to pay the price to park your middle-class behind in our seat.».
That's exactly how Alfa is losing its customers.
Stop thinking that people still have the means—or the desire—to splurge on car maintenance or a car loan.
Yes, offering social leasing attracts buyers, expands the customer base, and keeps the factory running.
But keep believing that only 51o ch V6 engines, carbon-ceramic brakes, and ultra-niche models priced at 90,000 € are worthy of the brand! And Alfa will end up straight in the graveyard that way.
And it’s not the people who advocate this pseudo-purist philosophy who will keep the brand going, since they can’t afford to buy a «true-blue» one either…
No, absolutely not, because if Alfa is losing customers, after-sales service is the main reason—taking products like that to repair shops that lack the necessary expertise just doesn't work.
No matter how many times I say it, Alfa isn't a premium brand—it's a sports car brand… Lancia is the premium brand.
No one ever said that repairs cost an arm and a leg, but like with all sports car brands, maintenance is much more frequent!!!
This isn't a Lexus, and this car is practically indestructible.
It’s precisely the people with money who keep these places running, and it’s surely your ridiculous belief that a Mito or whatever is profitable. Plus, saying that people have more money is laughable because it’s actually the exact opposite.
But like any typical French national, you view your country as a monolith—so what does Alfa have to gain in France…? Absolutely nothing!
«Do we sell Maseratis at low prices? No, and well, it's the same here.»
Maserati is luxury; Alfa Romeo isn't—or at least, not anymore.
Alfa has never been a luxury car brand—it’s always been a sports car brand—and to think it isn’t anymore????
First news story. 😂🤣
Why shouldn't Alfa and Lancia—just like Maserati and Ferrari, or Pagani, Lamborghini, etc.—be reserved exclusively for an elite group or a group of enthusiasts?!
What are you afraid of, Fred? That they'll manage to make a comeback once and for all?
Does a «PSA-made pseudo-sports car with the Biscione" suit you?
Just so you know, a lot of buyers—myself included—can't stand it, and it's a real hard pill to swallow—like, really, really hard!!!!
Because it's reserved for an elite few, it makes no sense—first, in terms of brand visibility, and second, in terms of the employees' work.
Do you think that selling 1,500 supercars keeps factories running, generates tax revenue for the government, and ensures a brand’s lasting place in people’s minds? (Especially in this age of “batteries on wheels”)
I wonder where some people have been living. Yes, I'd rather see a future Giulietta based on the STLA One platform than a revival of the Montréal, which would bring nothing but image. And even then…
The brands that are raking in the cash definitely aren't the run-of-the-mill ones, and thinking that PSA's platforms are going to save Alfa… just shows how much you believe in Care Bear Land!!!
We have to go out on Sunday after Mass, Maurice!!!!
It’s precisely cars like the 33, the 4C, the Giulia, and the Stelvio 2.0 and V6 that drive sales for the brand and shape its image—but since you’ll never be able to afford them… you badmouth them (typically French).
You seem to be living in a cave, and it's obvious right away.
You can really feel the frustration for miles around, but it’s your fault… not ours. And in Switzerland alone, we see them everywhere, whereas your PSA-based contraption not only failed to work but also ruined your image… so your nonsense really makes us laugh!
We live in a normal world; you live in a bitter one—it's as simple as that.
Even LeapMotor makes a better platform, so go back to your cave.
The PSA-based Giulietta will end up just like the Junior—a fiasco that won't even last a year!!!
Hello, Oxo??? This is Earth!
«Because it's reserved for an elite few, it makes no sense—first, in terms of brand visibility, and second, in terms of the employees» work!"
I'm not a humanist, and I don't work in social services
What does that have to do with any kind of class contempt? If only you knew…
This further erodes Alfa Romeo's image. It no longer feels premium; on the contrary, it's practically on the verge of offering a version of the Ami with the Trilobo…
That comment is completely over the top.
As Talleyrand said: «Everything that is excessive is insignificant»….
Thanks, Potté—at least there’s one person who gets it. What can you expect? Some people are so bitter about not being able to afford a Giulia or a Stelvio that it’s easier for them to bash customers than to criticize a product like the Junior—since it fits their budget, even if it’s a bit of a rip-off.
There's no denying it—it's a good thing you're here to raise the bar.
And Audiard said:
«Idiots will try anything—and that's exactly how you recognize them!»
Potté, yeah, you're right, and it makes you wonder if they aren't just trying to run Abarth, Alfa, Lancia, and Maserati into the ground anyway. If they wanted to do that, they wouldn't go about it any differently!
First the Puretoc, now leasing… The brand’s image has taken a huge hit, and all the work done with the Giulia, Stelvio, and 4C… IN THE TRASH! Anyway, I’m just as sick of it as you are.
It would be perfectly feasible to develop a D-segment model in collaboration with Maserati's future E-segment model while keeping the B and C segments more mainstream.
We did have Alfasuds, 145s, and Mitos. Do you feel like throwing up when you see them?
Class contempt!
You're the one who looks down on social classes—not us.
Why? Does it bother you to drive an Abarth or a sporty FIAT?
Aren't the coats of arms prestigious enough for you, sir?
It's like the Ypsilon—many of you, except for Potté, know that it's not a Lancia but an Autobianchi that was rebranded.
Why? Because there aren't enough mainstream brands at Stellantis? Do FIAT, Opel, and Peugeot sell scooters??
Seriously, though, it feels like I'm talking to *The Twilight Zone*!
The problem isn't the segment, but what's under the bodywork and inside the cabin. People didn’t hate the 147 or the MiTo, but they hate the Junior. It’s as if the Audi A1 or Q2 were based on a three-door Renault rather than a VW. Back then, the Arna was also very unpopular, though that was less of a problem. Social leasing attracts customers who are in it for the price, nothing else (which isn’t a bad thing, of course). In that case, where do we draw the line? An Ami or Topolino Milano-style?
The worst part is that it’s people like Fred who are calling the shots, and it’s clear they don’t understand a thing about brand consistency, brand image, or brand philosophy. No wonder they’ve never managed to make DS a success…
You're absolutely right, and it's the same people who destroyed Simca and Citroën—and we've seen the result!
Let him keep their Peugeot and us our Alfa.
But the worst part is that they haven't realized that some people here aren't focused on the brand itself, but on the product.
Citroën probably deserved to end up with Renault or FIAT back then, but since the government wanted neither and preferred Peugeot… we saw the disastrous result, yet strangely enough, die-hard Peugeot fans have a selective memory.
I admit I was disappointed by the 147 GTA, the Delta HF 2, or even the latest Giulietta, because they don’t have 4WD (even though it’s available on the 155, 164, and 33), but the 156 and GT have enormous potential thanks to their adaptable Crosswagon/Sportwagon systems.
I spent the 159/Brera weekend on the road and the week in the shop because of constant problems and because it was way too heavy, with that typical American-style handling.
I completely agree. In my opinion, a C-segment Giulietta hatchback should be their most affordable model.
They are completely abandoning the B segment.
«I'm not a humanist, and I don't work in social services.»
With a comment like that, it’s clear just how lacking in humanity you are—all you care about is money and your own interests, while, of course, screwing everyone else over.
I'm surprised you're oozing arrogance and stupidity. It's obviously your trademark.
Yes, but let's not confuse apples and oranges—the Grizzly has nothing to do with a Jeep Grand Cherokee 4×4, whereas the new Compass is much closer in size.
But that doesn’t mean there won’t one day be a hybrid all-wheel-drive version with an electric motor on the rear axle, like the new Grande Panda 4×4 scheduled for 2027.
So where did we mix whatever it was?????
Please read this, and I'd rather go with the Grand Cherokee and the Giorgio platform than this thing.
Even LeapMotor has a platform that’s a thousand times more exciting, and to top it all off, this hearse (rightly called that) doesn’t even have the capabilities of the Pandina, which was already getting its butt kicked by the Panda 2!!!!
How much does a Grizzly cost? 25 to 30,000€
How much does a Grand Cherokee cost? 60,000? More than that?
So, yes, we're comparing the incomparable.
Someone asks you if you want pizza or pasta tonight, and you say you'd rather have lobster and truffles—and that, after all, it's the same thing... it's on the same level!
Typical—the bitter guy with no money who only looks at the price.
In short, not only is your comparison ridiculous, but you also can't read—because as far as I know, the Pandina and the Panda 2 don't cost 60,000 euros—and bam, once again you've missed your chance to keep your mouth shut!
And yes, the Grand Cherokee has much better off-road capabilities, but to know that, you'd have to try one out—which you haven't done!
Yes, that's right: one is a car, and the other is just pretending to be one.
Were we talking about prices????
It's not just about all-around skills and agility—it's also about platforming!
It's crazy not to know how to read at such an advanced age.
The Fiat Grizzly isn't aimed at the same customer base as the Jeep Grand Cherokee, so a comparison doesn't make sense!!!
Hello, Oxo?? This is Earth!
«Hey, can you explain to them that we're talking about the TT's capabilities and the cargo capacity for seven seats? But good luck—they have a hard time understanding French!».
«Were we talking about prices????"
It's not just about all-around skills and agility—it's also about platforming!
»It's crazy not to know how to read at such an advanced age."
Are you serious?! A vehicle's off-road capabilities, size, interior space, and platform all factor into its final price. So of course the price matters!
Are you doing this on purpose, or are you taking night classes—seriously?
Actually, he’s thinking of installing the Jeep system based on Alexandre’s design, but even then, the system doesn’t offer the off-road capabilities of the sublime Panda 2 (yes, I admit it—I’m madly in love with it, too).
Do we know where it will be produced?
Probably Kenitra in Morocco
Indian platform, French engine, Moroccan production. This Fiat is a beauty 😎
Kenitra, just like the other Grizzlies.
It’s not the same size either. Not to mention that it’s more authentic than that C3 Aircross, which looks like it was carved with a billhook.
More authentic?
My dear friend Zafira, we're going to be keeping a close eye on what you're starting right now because it's seriously awesome, so please share it around… You're so selfish!🤨🤪🤣
Sorry, I don't smoke. You'll have to find someone else to get it from.
When I talk about authenticity, the Jeep feels more American than this Grizzly feels Italian. It's not hard to understand.
There's nothing authentic about it—or maybe it's only authentic to a blind person. That, too, is easy to understand.
You're comparing things that have nothing to do with each other!
Or is this a comparison of things that have nothing to do with each other?
This is clearly the same approach as with the C3 vs. Panda. Here, it’s easy to see that this Grizzly is a C3 AC repackaged in the style of the GPanda. In fact, the 7-seat selling point is the same!
Do you recognize the C3 Aircross in the Grizzly?
Wow, you guys are talented! Stylistically speaking, the two have nothing in common.
And I prefer the Fiat's look to the Citroën's—it's just a matter of taste. Even though it's bulky, at least it stands out from its siblings, which isn't the case with the Frontera, which is way too similar to the C3 Aircross.
Come on, everyone can see that this model is practically identical to the Citroën Aircrotte and the Opel Frontera. Nobody’s fooled, let’s be serious. Do you really think people are that stupid? Changing the bumpers and headlights doesn’t make for an entirely new body…
Yes, car connoisseurs, yes, but some people don't know anything about cars—as long as they buy a four-wheeled vehicle to get around. .
Definitely yes. That's the target market for automakers (especially French ones)—luckily for them, they're there.
Seriously, does he think we're idiots? He's the only one who doesn't see it. It's weird because we can recognize Lysander's handwriting... Really weird...
Did you say "weird"?
That's so weird.
My dear Potté, that alone is the foundation of everything… he still hasn't figured it out, so what can you do? 🤷🏻♂️
«Do you recognize the C3 Aircross in the Grizzly?»
Yes, the C3 Aircross is pretty easy to recognize, despite its angular design.
Hans, that's clear.
It's kind of like the "Spot the 7 Differences" game!!!
Bad faith, you’ve got us in your grip…
Yeah, take a look in the mirror and you'll understand what bad faith is, Fred/Lysander. It's okay, just give it up—we've figured you out; we're not stupid.
I'm just saying that you seem to be being disingenuous about this Grizzly—that it doesn't look like the C3 Aircross (or else all SUVs look alike, especially since no one has seen it in person yet…), and that comparing it to the Grand Cherokee makes no sense because it’s neither in the same market segment, nor does it share the same design philosophy, nor is it in the same price range.
And your comments like «dude with no money»—that shows real class contempt, whether you like it or not. Especially since you don’t know anything about me!
The Fiats and Citroëns will be nothing more than clones
Lancia and DS will be clones
Alfa and Peugeot? It's a joke, but you never know, right?
As for Maserati, I don't know—probably a Chinese conglomerate
Ah, *Attack of the Clones* by Nostradamus! Coming to theaters this summer!
Clones—or just unsellable junk that will further ruin the brands?
You're forgetting all too quickly what happened to GM, Ford, and Chrysler—and the outcome we all know!!!!
A gust of wind and—poof… Bye-bye 👋
GM didn't know how to manage its brands, okay... FORD managed them very well but simply sold them off because of the 2008–2009 financial crisis.
Chrysler was mistreated by Daimler, which retained its economic advantages and treated Chrysler as a sub-brand, with an all-German management team and a typically German hierarchical decision-making structure—that is, one akin to bureaucratic Sovietism—whereas Chrysler had always been flexible and agile in its management. Different mindsets—and that is the reason for the merger’s failure.
Any connection to Stellantis?
Fred and Lysander are the same person—that's exactly what I'm saying.
But that's nonsense—the three big American companies spent their time churning out knockoffs, and decade after decade we saw brands disappear because of it, and when the crisis hit, that was the final blow!!!!!!
It doesn't maaaaaatter who knows... Except for people who don't know anything about cars.
Mercedes didn't sabotage Chrysler—they sabotaged themselves!!
Bureaucratic Sovietism was GM, not Chrysler, and that's exactly what Stellantis is!!!
Oh, that's for sure… you must be living under a rock!
Take another look at the Daimler-Chrysler merger, and you'll see that I'm right. All the analysts have said so. But I base my conclusions on facts; I don't build truths on personal opinions and feelings…
There have been clones, and they’ve worked (the Voyager and Grand Caravan, for example, for decades). The problem stems from brand positioning, which has become unclear at GM in particular. The Chrysler Group has never had a large number of “clone” brands to manage: Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep—that’s not a huge number, and they’re very distinct. Plymouth was discontinued in 2001—that says it all…
First of all, that's completely false!!!
Chrysler brought about its own downfall and came close to bankruptcy 10 times.
And then they kept churning out clone after clone to the point where American customers had had enough—and that’s why they saw their empire collapse in 2008!
There's no point in rewriting history to suit your own agenda.
Show me the Chrysler clones from the early 2000s, just to see (excluding the Voyager/Caravan duo)
I'm waiting for as many duplicate model names as you want in the group—go ahead, I'm waiting!
Chrysler has had its tough times, but Daimler’s management was a disaster—you don’t know anything about it. Do your research and read what the experts have to say instead of spouting your so-called “truths” that you’re pulling out of your magic hat. Cultural incompatibility, reckless management by the Germans, and their contempt for Americans… Contempt, you’ve got us right where you want us!
Honestly, it’s working out well. FIAT’s challenge will be to win over a family customer base that it doesn’t currently have. But if it’s affordable, it could work—as Dacia has shown. The “clone vs. not a clone” debate is a moot point; the goal is to save Fiat, and buyers of these cars don’t care whether they’re based on the C3 or the C3 Aircross. There are still purists, but they’re a minority, and even in Italy, that’s not enough.
In fact, they aren’t saving Fiat—they’re killing it from the inside. Turning a genuine, century-old brand into nothing more than a logo is a loss of expertise, a loss of jobs, and a historic loss. Would you accept it if no Peugeot were a Peugeot anymore—if they were all just rebadged Chinese cars—just to say that Peugeot has been saved? No. So please understand that the same goes for the others.
Thank you, Jacques,
At least one insightful commentary on the economic challenges facing these companies, given the intense competition and the loss of profitability resulting from massive investments.
But some people think that cars are still built by hand, just like in the 1960s… They’re stuck in the past, and the new world isn’t for them.
You get it, and thank you!
And the goal is indeed to save as many of these brands as possible. I’d rather see Fiat, Lancia, and Alfa sharing platforms with Peugeot or using Leapmotor technology than watch these brands disappear due to a lack of profitability—with mass layoffs, people left in poverty, factories torn down, and logos consigned to a museum.
Others prefer this because these brands don't have THEIR "I-know-best" attitude.
But it's not their jobs they're risking—they don't give a damn.
@Fred
👍
First, save the brands, then grow them… Exactly!
I don't know who this Lysander is, and besides, I don't see how that relates to the topic!
And watch out for the typical contempt shown by those who think they hold the revealed truth—something you symbolize very well. YOU know better than everyone else; YOU are the holder of the truth, and everyone else is an idiot.
You can disagree without being called an idiot…
But as is often the case in our societies, anyone who doesn’t think «like me» or see things «my way» must be torn to shreds by the media, with a barrage of insults and condemnations. What a sad world…
When you overlay the images of the C3AC/Frontera, you can clearly see that the Grizzly fits perfectly as well. But yes, that’s secondary—since, as the C3/Gpanda duo already shows, it remains secondary and sells well as a pair (but not twice as much… and that’s ultimately the problem for the group).
The fact remains, however, that 14 is twice as many brands as there should be
The main thing is that they're unsellable, as we saw with the 600.
PSA is a thing of the past, but it's been prehistory for decades! 🤣😂
The 600 isn’t unsellable. In fact, it’s selling reasonably well. Unfortunately, it’s not selling as well as the 500X. But Tavares’s famous “pricing power” has made it more expensive than its predecessor. It’s a shame, because this approach isn’t a winning one. And it was initially released only with limited powertrain options (mild hybrid and 100% electric). The pure gasoline engine has only just arrived, as has the manual transmission. A little late, but oh well… In France, at any rate, the 600 is the best-selling Fiat.
For me, the problem isn't the platform—since you can build lots of different body styles on the same platform, like with the first-generation Tipo—but the engines, which lack driving pleasure!
The 1.2 PureTec, even with a chain, has no place under the hood of Italian brands—maybe as an entry-level option, but the fact that there are no longer 1.5- or 1.7-liter engines or good JTDMs for heavy drivers is sad.
For car enthusiasts, the selection of engines offered by automakers is getting worse and worse
Yes, that's true; the selection of engines is shrinking, and the 1.2—even with its improved reliability—needs to be complemented by other engine sizes, such as 1.5 or 1.6.
LeapMotors' platform is a cut above the rest—and at a much lower price—so that settles it.
Better a superb Chinese platform than an unsellable French piece of junk like the 600, which is the perfect example.
How many units of the 600 sold compared to the 500x? 🤣😂
It's great to see Fiat back with some beautiful and high-quality models in the works!!!
We're finally going to move on from FCA and its 500-centric lineup. ☺️
😂🤣😂🤣
We've seen the result with the 600, which is already a failure, whereas under FCA:
-Panda: one box, 500: one box, 500x: one box—Tipo did its job… and now it’s a huge flop, and thank goodness they don’t have to put up with that in South America!😂🤣😂🤣😂
The Panda really only sells well in Italy. If you take the Italian market out of the equation, what’s left in terms of Panda sales in Europe?
The 500X sold better than the 600 because the price range has increased significantly in the meantime. The powertrains are also more technologically advanced, ranging from mild hybrid systems to automatic transmissions and the 100% electric motor. The 500X, for example, had basic internal combustion engines. That helps. But yes, the pricing strategy was too aggressive under Tavares.
Yes, except that Fiat mustn't go to the other extreme—focusing solely on the «Panda family» while neglecting the 500/600 lineup. Be careful not to rob Peter to pay Paul.
@Alexandre Filluzeau
Would it be possible, someday, to see the latest comments right on the home page?
During a website update,
I think most people would like that!
Yes, I can look into that.
