2012 Fiat Freemont Back Body Design View

Measuring 489 cm long, 188 cm wide, and 172 cm high with a 289 cm wheelbase, the Fiat Freemont is being advertised as a crossover that offers plenty of interior space to complement its distinctive design.

The Freemont’s design language offers a fresh take on a muscular crossover that comes with decisive lines and an aggressive front end with a new bumper and grille. The rear end of the Freemont also has its fair share of changes, including the adoption of a new bumper to go with the new LED taillights.

Over at the interior is where customers will get their money’s worth. The Freemont has been designed to be a crossover that will offer the best interior space value, thanks in large part to its seven standard seats with a genuinely accessible third row of roomy seats. These seats can be folded down with no effort, disappearing completely below the floor and creating a regular load platform. Meanwhile, the second row of the Freemont has its own unique feature: the ability to be fitted with the innovative child booster system.

Out in front, the Freemont’s all-new passenger compartment comes with an up-to-date design to complement the soft touch materials that include a wrap-around dashboard with chrome elements, a brand-new instrument panel, a central console, and an infotainment system with a large color touchscreen.

Other interior features include a triple-zone automatic climate control system, keyless entry system, cruise control, advanced trip computer, tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), fog lights and touchscreen radio with color screen and controls on the steering wheel. Meanwhile, the higher-grade version of the Freemont will also come with a touch-screen radio with an 8.4” screen, SD card and DVD reader, Bluetooth system, rear parking sensors, fold-down door mirrors, automatic headlight activation, darkened rear windows and roof bars.

Performance

The Fiat Freemont will initially come with a number of powertrain options, including a choice between two 2.0-liter MultiJet turbo diesel engines that produce 140 and 170 horsepower, respectively.

Moving forward, we can also expect a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 276 horsepower. Fiat also announced that the Freemont will come with a front-wheel-drive system and later on, will have a four-wheel-drive system.

Pricing

Fiat has finally announced pricing for the Freemont SUV. The vehicle will be available in two trims - the Freemont and the Urban - and will be sold with a price tag of €25,700 ($37,000) for the base Freemont model and €27,200 ($39,170) for the more upscale Urban version.

Competition

A new kid on the block will always get more than his fair share of attention and the Fiat Freemont doesn’t figure to be an exception to this rule. Among the old rivals of the Journey that will give the Freemont a serious run for its money include the Ford Edge, the Hyundai Santa Fe, the Mazda CX-7, and the Nissan Murano.

From our point of view, the Hyundai Santa Fe figures to be the biggest competitor to the new Freemont. With a powertrain that features a choice between a 2.4 Liter DOHC Theta II four cylinder rated at 175 horsepower and 169 lb-ft of torque and a 3.5-liter DOHC Lambda II V6 engine making 276 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque, the powertrain options between these two SUVs are pretty much dead even.

The Fiat Freemont - the Fiat-badged Dodge Journey for the European market - will be presented at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show and these preview pics show the Freemont interior. The new model is exactly what they say it is - a rebadged Journey, and so there are plenty of points in common. It marks the first Fiat-badged Chrysler model to market since the Fiat-Chrysler deal and could prove to be a hefty competitor in the large MPV segment.

Also described as an SUV/crossover, the Fiat Freemont is an over-sized model and biggest passenger vehicle for the brand. It measures 4.89 metres long, 1.88 wide and 1.72 high, with a wheel base of 2.89 metres and a boot capacity of 1,461 litres. At launch time it will be available in just versions: a 2.0-litre Multijet with 140 or 170 hp and manual transmission. Following this first model, all-wheel drive will be introduced, as will the V6 Pentastar engine with 276 hp. We expect to see a few Italian families heading to the seaside in the Freemont this coming summer, when it will be available in Europe.
