Based on the Dodge Journey, the Fiat Freemont was the first Fiat car created in joint partnership with Chrysler. The Fiat Freemont will be produced in the Mexican plant of Toluca, where the Fiat 500 is produced for the U.S. market. The new vehicle combines flexibility and practicality with its own distinctive and original style.
The vehicle is 489 cm long, 188 cm wide and 172 cm high, which is enough to guarantee outstanding interior space. This Fiat features one of the best wheelbases in its category (289 cm). The Fiat Freemont guarantees maximum roominess, comfort and versatility due to the 7 standard seats with a third row of roomy accommodation for passengers.
Entering the car is easy, as the doors can be opened to a 90 ° angle. The Freemont will be front-wheel drive, powered with a turbo diesel engine with 140 hp, or a 2.0-litre Multijet engine with an output of 170 hp, both with a standard manual gearbox. Later, the model will be made available in 4x4 versions with either a 170 hp, 2.0-litre Multijet engine, or a 276 hp 3.6-litre V6 petrol engine that will be available with an automatic gearbox.
With the exception of the powerful 3.6 litre unit from the Chrysler Group and the automatic transmission, all units were produced and developed by FPT - Fiat Powertrain. The dynamic characteristics of the car is also improved by the development and implementation of special suspension and configuration management. Driving comfort is further guaranteed by significant improvements to passenger compartment soundproofing.
