| Fiat Aegea |
The Aegea is a new four-door model, which Fiat says was originally designed as a saloon, rather than being the spin off of a hatchback version. However, Head of Fiat functional range Europe, Antonella Bruno confirmed that there will be two more models following on from the Aegea - a compact hatchback and an estate.

The car will not be called the Aegea when it goes on sale, with the final name set to be revealed closer to the launch date.
The Aegea measures 4.5m in length, and is 178cm wide and 148cm high - and is designed to be able to carry five passengers. It has an overall boot capacity of 510 litres.
It comes with equipment such as Fiat’s Uconnect system, with a five-inch colour touch screen, Bluetooth, USB and Aux inputs and steering wheel controls all as standard. It is also available with an optional TomTom satellite navigation system and a rear parking camera.
Fiat has chosen to launch the Aegea at the Istanbul show as the car will be built at Fiat’s plant in Bursa, in Turkey, alongside the likes of the Linea, Qubo and the Doblo.
It will come with a choice of four engines - two Multijet II diesels and two petrols, with power ratings between 94bhp and 118bhp. Fiat claims that they are capable of as much as 70.6mpg - on a par with the likes of the smaller Panda model.
