Fiat Egea spotted sans camouflage ahead of probable November launch

The Fiat Egea sedan has been spotted sans camouflage ahead of its official launch next month. Slotted as a replacement for the Bravo, the Egea has already gone into production at the Italian automaker’s plant in Turkey and is destined for about 40 LHD markets.
The Egea sedan measures 4.5 meters , 1.78 metres wide and with a massive 510-litre boot. It will be offered with two petrol and diesel engines whose outputs will be in the range of 95bhp to 120bhp. Transmission options are expected to include a six-speed manual as well as a six-speed AT.

On the design front, the Egea appears to be an evolutionary model from the Bravo as well as the Linea sedan. It gets the new Fiat front grille, muscular bonnet and axe-shaped headlamps. The side profile gets a strong shoulder line and very softly flared wheel arches with what appear to be 17-inch wheels. The rear gets a small boot opening, wrap around tail lamps and a high bumper.

Moving into the cabin we can see the latest version of the Fiat design language which includes a large steering wheel, climate control system, completely new instrument cluster and a 5-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

It seems highly probable that for the Indian market, Fiat will display the Egea at the 2016 Auto Expo with a launch scheduled by the end of next year making us one of the first RHD markets to get the car. Their strategy for this car and the current Linea is likely to be the one which they followed when they launched the Linea Classic.
