Fiats new crossover to be called as Aventura?

Once again, first on CarDekho. We had broken the news of Fiat Punto Adventure and then we had revealed the facts about this new compact SUV  from the Italian manufacturer.  Now, we learn that this new model from Fiat could be named as Aventura instead of the Punto Adventure.

The Cross Polo is an attempt of Volkswagen to make a more rugged version of the Polo. However, Fiat will be attempting to make a tougher version. It won’t just have cladding, but we can expect higher ground clearance and larger wheels. We can expect them to even mount a rear wheel on the boot. Though we aren’t sure of how will they design it. This version will have distinctive styling like the way Palio Adventure had from the Palio and Petra.

 
The Aventura is slated to be launched sometime by mid-2014 and this will be powered by the 1.3-litre multijet engine that will produce 93bhp of power and about 200Nm of maximum torque. This year, the company will launch the Abarth Punto, Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Cherokee. The Linea Classic is another sedan that Fiat will introduce. This will be the Linea that will be lighter and even have lesser features, than the existing version. We can also expect the 1.3-litre multijet engine to be detuned to 75bhp than the existing 93bhp. This will be a C segment sedan that will compete with the Toyota Etios, Mahindra Verito and other similarly priced vehicles.
