Geneva Preshow: Fiat Publishes New Photos of Freemont Crossover


Geneva Preshow: Fiat Publishes New Photos of Freemont Crossover
The star of Fiat"s exhibition area at the Geneva Motor Show and the first Fiat-branded vehicle to come out of the partnership with the Chrysler Group is the new Freemont 7-seater crossover. It doesn"t take a rocket scientist to see that the Freemont is a re-badged 2011 Dodge Journey, but if for whatever reason you weren"t satisfied with the first batch of official photos, the Italians have just released a more comprehensive set that includes pictures of the interior as well.

We"ll remind you that the Freemont is due to go on sale in Fiat dealerships across Europe from the second half of 2011. The Italian firm"s newcomer will initially come with front-wheel drive and a Fiat-sourced 2.0-liter turbo with 140HP and 170HP, linked to a manual gearbox. By the end of the year, Fiat will also offer two four-wheel drive versions fitted with the 170HP 2.0 MultiJet diesel, and Chrysler"s 276HP 3.6-liter V6 petrol unit.
