Pictures of the Fiat Viaggio saloon have leaked onto the internet ahead of the new car’s unveiling at the Beijing motor show.
The four-door, five-seat Viaggio is based on the Fiat Group’s CUSW (Compact US Wide) architecture – as is the new Dodge Dart, which was shown at January’s Detroit motor show – and sits at 4679mm in length and 1850mm in width.
One turbocharged 1.4-litre T-Jet petrol engine is available in two states of tune – 118bhp or 147bhp. The powerplants will come mated to either a five-speed manual or six-speed dual-clutch transmission.
External features of the new car include what the manufacturer describes as a ‘contemporary Fiat face’ and LED rear lights.
The Fiat Viaggio will be built in the new GAC-Fiat plant in China with sales expected from September. At the moment, it is due to be a China-only offering.

Re: Fiat Viaggio leaks out
I think that Fiat should take a "brave" pill, change the name, which sounds daft in English, and import this car into the UK. As for worries about saloon sales, look at how successful the Fiat 131 Supermiriafiori 1600TC was in the early 1980s. It undercut, out performed and handled better than the Ford Cortina MkIV 1.6. With the correct pricing and marketing strategies Fiat could steal sales from Ford and Vauxhall.
