Turkey continues to play an important role in Fiat’s manufacturing operations, thanks mainly to the country’s comparatively low labour costs. Illustrating that situation is the all-new Aegea, which was partly developed there and will be built at the Bursa plant.
It’s also no coincidence that the Istanbul Motor Show is the chosen venue for the car’s first public appearance.
Measuring 4.50 metres (14’ 9”) long, the Aegea is a very traditional three-box compact saloon that can accommodate five people.
The styling, while neat and inoffensive, isn’t especially exciting. Indeed, the only really distinguishing features are the heavily-sculptured bonnet and a recessed centre section for the roof panel.
Two petrol and two diesel engines are going to be available, together with a choice of manual or automatic transmissions. Power outputs are said to range between 93 bhp (70 kW / 95 PS) and 118 bhp (88 kW / 120 PS). All pretty much as expected, in other words.
Sales of the Aegea begin in Turkey this November. Launches will then follow in over forty markets across Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Fiat isn’t likely to offer it in the UK, however.
