The Fiat -Chrysler alliance cannot just sit back when the beautiful platform that underlies Dodge Dart and Fiat Viaggio is dusting in the corner, so the smallest Chrysler is planned in the near future, not exceeding the Ford Focus size, Avtovtro reports.
According to the General Director of the Alliance Sergio Marcionne, the project is close to approval.
He emphasized that the new compact will debunk the myth that hatchbacks are not sold in the United States. And even more important: hatchbacks have high attractiveness outside the United States.
Thus, it is likely that Chrysler 100 will be a hatchback, which is also planned to be sold in Europe.
In addition, this model is suitable for expansion to the Japanese market, which will be emphasized in the coming years.
With a modern 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, Chrysler 100 can easily comply with any requirements for carbon dioxide emissions.
