In January, we introduced the Cross Wagon to the consumer. The highly anticipated 1.6 Multijet II 130 HP Diesel automatic transmission versions of the Egea Family took their place in FIAT showrooms in all body types in March.

Egea Hybrid: With its New Generation Hybrid Technology, it is both environmentally friendly and advantageous in fuel consumption
Egea Hybrid gets its performance from the synergy of a new generation 130-liter 240-cylinder turbo gasoline FireFly engine with 1,5 HP power and 4 NM torque, and a 48 kW electric motor with a 15-Volt battery. In Egea Hybrid, BSG (Belt Start Generator) and 15KW electric motor support the 130 hp internal combustion engine.
Thanks to the new powertrain of Egea Hybrid, the fuel consumption and emissions of the internal combustion engine are reduced during the warm-up phase. Hybrid technology in Egea; It allows the vehicle to take off (e-launch) in a quiet, fluid, 100% electric mode without wasting fuel, and to proceed in a fully electric mode at low speed (e-creep). Egea Hybrid can move forward in short distances in dense and congested traffic without pressing the accelerator pedal with only the power of the electric motor (e-queueing). Egea Hybrid can be parked in purely electric mode (e-park). Hybrid Egea, which was developed to recharge its battery with energy recovery during both braking and deceleration, does not compromise on performance and provides maximum driving comfort.
Along with the Egea Hybrid, the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is also offered for sale for the first time in the FIAT brand. Egea Hybrid, with 7-speed automatic transmission, accelerates from 0-100 km in 8,6 seconds, while providing a significant advantage in fuel consumption and reaching a consumption value of 100 liters per 5,0 km (WLTP) in urban use. Hybrid technology in Egea ensures that 47 percent of the WLTP cycle can be completed without starting the gasoline engine by completely shutting down the gasoline engine while driving, again for the first time in Fiat models. This rate can go up to 62 percent in urban cycle. As a result, the new 48-Volt hybrid gasoline engine provides lower fuel consumption in city use compared to both gasoline and diesel engines. With all these features, the new Egea Hybrid offers the most advanced 48-Volt Hybrid engine option in its class.
