Important details about the future Fiat CEO CEO Olivier François, for the first time, shed such light on new model studies.

The mission of the brand, which will re-create its product range in this context, is very important under the umbrella of Stellantis. The Italian manufacturer, which we know will make one of its first breakthroughs in the new era with a B-segment passenger model that will replace Punto, wants to launch at least one new model every year until 2027. CEO Olivier François, who made important statements about the process they are in, also stated the reference points on the design identity side of the future models. pointed.
Fiat Centoventi project will shed light on mass production
Expressing that the decision was made on the design lines of four new models that will be introduced in the next 5 years, François pointed to the Centoventi concept, which they launched in 2019. The neo-retro philosophy in Centoventi, which attracted attention by receiving the design award from Red Dot at that time, will be directly permeated into at least two new models. The successful manager, who clearly emphasized that they will carry Panda into the future alongside the new generation 500 family, has very high expectations in this area. Apart from the model with a different name that will replace Punto, it becomes clear with the latest statements that Fiat will add three completely new compact SUV models to its product range. Apart from the passenger models, we will see four light commercial vehicles in the completely renewed Fiat product range.

Expressing that the new era that comes with electricity is an important opportunity for them, Olivier François; “We are now entering a new world. Together with this world, we will have the chance to realize our dreams. In the next five-year period, we will launch a new model every year, depending on the markets. Our focus is on inclusion in prominent segments. Currently, we can only have a presence on one side with 500X. For this reason, new crossover models will be important alongside the return to the B segment. Panda will also be much more assertive with its completely renewed DNA.

With Fiat’s new product range, there is an accessible electricity identity as the “People’s Tesla”. What we need to do now is to reduce the costs in the electrification. Starting from 2027, we are preparing to sell only electric models. Depending on the costs, this may be a little earlier. As a brand, we do not plan to change our positioning within Stellantis. This means that Fiat will offer solutions with models that will not go beyond the limits of the compact segment. Citroen within the group is in a position to meet the expectations on this side.” he said.
