FIAT

Egea

Production of Fiat Egea commenced in September 2015. The automobile’s engineering works were carried out mainly by the Tofaş R&D Center in collaboration with FCA. Fiat Egea has a special place in the history of the Turkish automotive industry as 70% of its development was made in Turkey.

Offering a wide range of sedan, hatchback, and station wagon body types, the Fiat Egea is preferred with its impressive design, comfort, utilities, and accessibility features.

Manufactured in Bursa and exported all over the world under Fiat Tipo and Dodge Neon brands, Fiat Egea was voted “Best-Buy Car Of The Year in Europe” at AutoBest 2016. Fiat Egea succeeded in becoming Turkey’s most popular automobile for four years in a row between 2016-2019. According to a report issued by GTÜ, Germany’s largest officially-recognized inspection organization of freelance vehicle inspectors, that was published in the magazine Auto Zeitung, in 2019 the Fiat Tipo had the fewest defects requiring repair work (0.84/100 vehicles) in its class during its first main inspection.

Fiat Connect technology, which makes it easier for drivers to interact with their vehicles, was added to the Fiat Egea family as an optional extra feature in 2018. The Egea family’s Mirror version, which distinguishes itself with its high-tech features and chrome design details, went on sale in 2018. Street, S-Design, and Sport versions of the Egea Hatchback and Station Wagon models with superior equipment options were put on sale in March 2019. As of October last year, all Egea models had been brought into compliance with Euro 6d emission standards.

500

Deftly combining its sixty years of inherited DNA with new trends in design and offering many opportunities to personalize design details and features, Fiat 500 appeals to a broad audience. Fiat 500 was given a makeover in 2015 in a process that was careful to preserve the car’s unique character and stylishness while adding technology and comfort features. Fiat 500’s timeless look and feel ensures its distinctive place in the automotive industry.

The 500C version of the Fiat 500 is the only convertible in its class on sale in Turkey today. A limited special edition of the Fiat 500 dubbed “Dolcevita” went on sale in Turkey in 2019.

500L

Going on sale in 2013, the 500L quickly succeeded in becoming the leader of its own segment. A second-generation version of the Fiat 500L made its appearance in 2017 after undergoing a makeover. With its roominess, functionality, attractive design, and drive features the 500L combines “multipurpose family car” and “crossover” characteristics in a single model.

500X

Put on sale in 2015, the Fiat 500X is the 500 family’s sportiest and most “masculine” member. Fiat 500X’s standard-transcending quality, technology, active and passive safety features, and comfort options position it as one of the boldest offerings in the crossover segment.

Panda

On sale in Turkey ever since its introduction in 2004, Panda’s convenience of use on city streets, relatively larger dimensions for its class and superior functionality make it a preferred choice. Reflecting the badge’s “crossover” spirit, the Panda Cross was put on sale with 4x4 traction as an option.

FIAT PROFESSIONAL

Doblò

In continuous production since 2000, Doblò offers constantly improving durability, performance, and convenience features as well as different body options providing up to a one-ton carrying capacity and a high loading volume. A redesigned and reequipped next-generation Doblò with a roomy interior and economic engine options that continue to make it the preferred choice of big families as well as of tradesmen and artisans appeared on the Turkish market in 2015.

A steadfast companion of those doing business in the Turkish and European markets, RAM-badged Doblòs went on sale in the North American market as the ProMaster City in 2015. In 2016 and 2017 the ProMaster City was chosen by Green Car Journal as “Commercial Green Car of the Year”. Put on sale in 2019 equipped with rain-sensing wipers and darkness-sensing headlamps, the Doblò was also brought into compliance with Euro 6d emission standards as of October. Fiat Connect technology was added to the Doblò family as an optional extra feature.

Fiorino

A product of Tofaş’s Minicargo project, the Fiorino set a new milestone in Tofaş’s history when the one-millionth vehicle rolled off the assembly line in 2016. Both a pioneer and a leader as the hallmark of a class of its own, the Fiat Fiorino is one of the best-selling light commercial vehicles in the Turkish market. The Fiorino remains the preferred choice of families thanks to its design and usability features on the one hand and of business owners thanks to its economy and practicality on the other.

Fiat Connect technology was made available to Fiorino drivers in 2018. In 2019, the Fiorino Eko, a factory-equipped LPG version of the model that can also be fitted with a 7-inch tablet screen in line with customer needs, was introduced. As of October, Fiorino engines had been brought into compliance with Euro 6d emission standards.

Pratico

As the “compact pickup” model of the Fiat commercial vehicle family, the smart design and maneuverability of Pratico make it easy to drive in city traffic. A next-generation version of Pratico with the same chassis as that of the Doblò distinguishes it from other models in its class while a carrying-capacity of up to one metric ton makes it especially useful for those who need to get around in city traffic. As of October 2019, Practico’s 1.6-lt engine had been brought into compliance with Euro 6d emission standards. Fiat Connect technology was added to the Doblò family as an optional extra feature.

Ducato

With the introduction of its first model in 1981, Ducato brought new inspiration to the commercial vehicle market. Constantly evolving in the years since then, Ducato has successfully established itself as the premier vehicle in its class. Its front-wheel drive, a powerful engine, and capacious loading and carrying space revolutionized the light commercial vehicle market. Flexibility, engine capacity, and low operating costs continue to make Ducato one of Europe’s most popular commercial vehicles.

With its van, pickup, and minibus versions, Ducato is able to respond to the diverse needs of different customer groups. In the last quarter of 2019, Ducato engines were brought into compliance with Euro 6d emission standards. Another innovation in the Ducato line that became available to customers last year was the addition of Fiat Connect vehicle-connectivity features as an option.

Fullback

Fiat Fullback appeared for sale on the Turkish market for the first time in 2016 with its “double-cab” body version. 150 HP and 180 HP versions of Fullback are on offer with 2.4 liter turbo diesel engine options. Fiat Fullback is an all-round pickup capable not only of satisfying all of the demands of professional use but also of fulfilling all the requirements of everyday life.

ALFA ROMEO

Giulietta

The legendary Giuletta has been reintroduced in 2010. As Alfa Romeo’s representative in the compact hatchback class, the Giulietta is especially preferred by style-conscious owners who like its attractive design, powerful, superior drive quality, and comfortable interiors.

Stelvio

Alfa Romeo set a new milestone in its 107-year history with the 2017 introduction of Stelvio, its first offering in the SUV market. Offering the best acceleration performance in its class, Stelvio distinguishes itself from its rivals by virtue of its Q4 AWD traction system and its perfect weight balance. What’s more thanks to its first-class technology and innovative platform, Stelvio achieved a 5-star Euro NCAP rating by racking up 97 out of 100 safety points for adult occupants.

Giulia

Outstanding in its class by virtue of its unrivaled Italian stylishness and superior reliability while also achieving a perfect balance between form and function for an excellent driving experience, Alfa Romeo Giulia made its first appearance on the Turkish market in 2017. Equipped with advanced racing technology, Giulia brought a new point of view in the sports sedan segment with its interior and exterior design features, high-quality materials, and superior performance.

JEEP®

Compass

Introduced to the Turkish market in 2017, Jeep® Compass distinguishes itself from the competition with completely overhauled design and equipment features. Jeep® Compass carries on Jeep®’s legendary off-road tradition with its interior design equipped with premium details, and true 4x4 performance.

Wrangler

Wrangler is the iconic heir of more than seven decades of Jeep experience in civilian off-road vehicle design and manufacture. Features such as superior ground clearance, approach and departure angle, and turning-radius and wheelbase ratings together with the most-reliable and deepest (76 cm) water-fording capabilities in its class are among the reasons why Jeep Wrangler is regarded as the best of its breed.

Grand Cherokee

The flagship of the Jeep brand, the legendary 4x4 Grand Cherokee appeals to consumers with its 3.0-liter diesel engine. The vehicle’s attention-grabbing on-road driving comfort, advanced technology, and luxurious interior are matched by superior off-road performance that is delivered by Jeep-patented Quadra-Lift and Selec-Terrain four-wheel drive systems. With a large baggage space, Grand Cherokee offers much more space for both cargo and passengers.

Renegade

Designed in the USA and built in Italy, Renegade is the smallest, most colorful, and most energetic member of the Jeep® family’s offerings in the SUV class. Having first entered the Turkish market in 2014, an enhanced, more dynamically-designed version of the Jeep Renegade equipped with innovative tech, new engine options, and advanced safety features went on sale in Turkey in 2019.

LANCIA

In line with strategic decisions, all models in Lancia series have been dropped except for Ypsilon, which continues to be sold in Italy. Sales of Lancia vehicles were therefore suspended in Turkey in 2015, though after-sales services will of course continue to be provided.
