The Viaggio will be made in China by the Guangzhou-Fiat joint venture, it is based on the Dodge Dart that is based on Fiat’s C-EVO platform that also underpins the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. Power will come from Fiat’s 1.4 Fire T-jet turbocharged engine with two different tunes: 88kw and 210nm and 110kw and 230nm, mated to a 6-speed ‘DDCT-C635′ dual clutch transmission. Price will start around 120.000 yuan. Other engines might be offered in the future, such as a cheaper 1.6 or a bigger 2.0, and even a 2.4 is possible.

There were two Viaggio’s at the Beijing show but visitors were not allowed to peek inside. These pictures so are the first that clearly show the interior and as expected it is almost similar to the Dart’s. This particular car is clearly pre-production, the interior loox really unfinished.
