Aegea rides the business wavesz
- Up to 70mpg and more than 510-litres of boot space;
- The name of Aegea pays tribute to Turkey’s pivotal role in its development and manufacture;
- On sale from November in Turkey, it will gradually reach over 40 countries across Europe, the Middle East and Africa
WE’LL have to wait a while to see if this tasty 70mpg Turkish-takeaway creates a splash among company car users because the new Fiat Aegea saloon will launch only in Turkey this year.
While designed in Italy, the Aegea was developed in Turkey together with Tofaş R&D, one of FCA’s largest research and development centres.
It will also be manufactured in the Bursa plant in Turkey, which has been designated Gold Medal status by World Class Manufacturing in recognition of its efficiency, quality and eco-friendliness.
The Aegea will accommodate five passengers and cater for luggage with a load capacity of more than 510 litres. A wide selection of engines will be available, including two MultiJet II turbo-diesel engines and two petrol units with power outputs of between 95 and 120hp. Available with manual and automatic transmissions, the diesel engines claim fuel-efficiency of 70 mpg.
