In Morocco, Fiat’s future sedan finally shows its true face

Photos of a camouflaged car have been circulating online for several months. It was ultimately in Morocco that the new Italian sedan was caught completely uncovered, stripped of its vinyl wrapping. This model, which is already a hit in Brazil and Latin America, symbolizes the ambitions of a manufacturer aware that its position in the popular segments "is no longer what it used to be." The vehicle, approximately 4.5 meters long, will adopt the angular styling and pixelated headlights of the Grande Panda. It is based on the versatile Smartcar platform, also used by the Citroën C3, C3 Aircross, and Opel Frontera.

This technical foundation offers a major advantage by accommodating thermal, hybrid, and 100% electric powertrains. The general public will officially discover this car, whose lines are anything but anonymous, in October, at the upcoming Paris Motor Show. In the meantime, the publication of the leaked photo on Instagram is sparking the imagination of internet users who propose names like Koala or Grizzly to succeed the Panda. The brand should nevertheless retain the current Brazilian name of the vehicle, which will likely be called Fastback.
