Ægea project – Wikipedia
from Wikipedia, L’Encilopedia Libera.
The ægea project (356) is a family of cars designed and developed by FCA Italy in 2014 (year of development of development) until the official presentation of the first model in May 2015 with the relative start of production of the models between 2015 and 2016. It is a family of cars based on the Small LWB platform intended for very different markets, to which the project is aimed at specific bodywork variant capable of satisfying the market needs of the different countries.
The project was born in Italy and the models are initially designed for the EMEA market (Europe and the Middle East and Africa). The individual models are however destined to be exported to other markets in the world with market characteristics similar to the starting ones. [first] [2] [3] .
The family of cars was born in Turin, where they have been designed and designed, and consists of three models that differ in type of bodywork and philosophy of use, in order to better cover the needs of the different countries of the EMEA area that have habits very different from each other. The three models are a three -volume sedan, a two -volume sedan and a family version, all part of the type. The three volumes therefore takes the commercial inheritance of the Fiat Linea in the markets where compact sedans “with the tail” are highly appreciated: Turkey, Germany, Spain, Est Europe. The two -volume version instead collects the legacy of the Fiat Bravo in the markets where the hatchback They are by far the best -selling, such as Italy. The Station Wagon version is the family variant of the sedans. The project, divided into the various 3 models, is marketed in over 50 countries of the EMEA area [first] And the same strategy adopted by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in the Chinese and North American market with Fiat travel / Fiat excellent and Dodge Dart / Chrysler 200, resumes parallel.
The models are developed on the second generation of the Small platform of FCA ITALY (already Fiat Spa), therefore derived from the frame base of the 500L.
Three -volume sedan [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ]
The family of cars debuts with the “Compact Sedan” model and does it at the Istanbul motor lounge in Turkey. The Turkish one is not only the most important market for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles for this type of car (which takes the inheritance of the line) but it is also a strategic area for the Italian-stain-style giant that has one of its major production sites in Bursa (La Tofaş) and its main research and development center for models intended for Eastern Europe and the Middle East. In fact, this model was conceived and designed by the Fiat Style Center in Turin, but the development took place between Turin and Bursa, in Turkey, where production also takes place.
The compact world cars is a 453 cm long sedan, 179 wide and 150 high. The 264 centimeters step, approved 5 seats and characterized by great habitability (the house declares that it is designed for 5 robust build occupants) and the ability to load (over 510 liters). [first] [3] The car was presented by Alfredo Altavilla, EMEA MARKET Manager of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. [3] And it will debut in European markets (including Italy), proposing the type name after 20 years. [4]
Two volume sedan [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ]
This version collects part of the inheritance of the Fiat Bravo in a historical period where he sees the segment of compact medium sedans (two volumes) break between compact SUVs and more traditional and rational seats. If on the one hand, the legacy of the Bravo was collected by the 500x, this version two volumes of the new ægea project of the Fiat house is destined to collect the more traditionalist customers, and to avoid a feeling of “emptiness” inside the Fiat range in the segment of the sedans. [first] [3] The transversality of the two models therefore allows you to also fill the traditional “C” segment, without neither of them can be defined as a real direct heir. The “rational” sedan for the C segment arrives with the Fiat Type Hatchback, mainly intended for the European and South American market.
Familiar [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ]
The Giardinetta model is the version with greater habitability and load capacity of the sedan versions. [3] After being presented at the Geneva Motor Show together with the Hatchback, the family version of the C segment becomes the Fiat Type Station-Wagon, actually replacing the Multiwagon Stilo, production exit in 2008.
