Fiat once bought for just £12,500 by Mike Brewer is now worth SIX-times more
ONE of Britain's best-selling motors will be rivalled by an upcoming Fiat model when the affordable SUV hits the market.Fiat is aiming to offer variations on the compact SUV format that has proven so popular across Europe in the past decade.
There is expected to be less contrasting black plastic and instead greater use of body-coloured or contrast-coloured painted elements. Combustion-engined versions are likely to use a 1.2-litre three-cylinder hybrid powertrain, complete with a six-speed automatic gearbox.Fiat will extend the wheelbase for both the cars, opening up more rear legroom.However, the fastback’s outright boot capacity will be compromised by the sloping roof.It comes after the long-running Fiat Panda model is set to be reinvented into a fully-electric hatchback.
Originally supplied with a sole four-cylinder, 903cc petrol engine and just one standard trim level, the Panda’s range would expand as the years advanced.The second generation Panda hit the market in in the UK in 2004 and continued its predecessors legacy of practicality, simplicity and manoeuvrability.Buyers could choose from 1.1-litre and 1.2-litre engines but in 2005 the range grew to a diesel model – Fiat’s 1.3-litre Multijet – and a new Panda 4×4.
