This is the new Fiat Aegea (officially Ægea), a B-segment sedan designed for EMEA markets such as Eastern and Central Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Unlike the rest of Europe which have a fondness for hatchbacks, countries like Turkey like affordable sedans which is why there are products like the Aegea, which will go against competitors like the Peugeot 301, Citroen C4 Elysee, Skoda Rapid and Renault Scala.
The Fiat Aegea rides on a wheelbase of 2,640 mm which is typical of a B-segment sedan. It measures 4,500 mm long, 1,780 mm wide and 1,480 mm tall, and has a boot space of 510 litres. Fiat specifically mentions in their press release that the Aegea was designed to be a three-box sedan thus doesn't suffer from the 'hatch with a boot tacked on' syndrome that some B-segment sedans suffer from.
The interior looks decent enough - we see lots of parts sharing with cars like the Jeep Renegade in there like the steering wheel and the air cond controls. The Aegea can be specced with a 5 inch Uconnect touch screen system with the option for a reverse camera as well as TomTom satellite navigation.
Under the hood is a choice of two turbodiesel engines and two petrol engines, paired to either manual or auto transmissions. No specific details yet, but engine outputs have been mentioned to range between 95 to 120 horsepower. Fiat says a diesel Aegea should be able to do 4 litres per 100 km.
