Just yesterday, we brought you the first spyshots of the Jeepster, spotted in Italy with a production body. It emerged from a Fiat test facility and showed a very body body, though still hidden under camouflage.
The fully built-up test vehicle was spotted once more and this time the photographers were able to capture a few more details, including the interior of the car. The steering wheel is simple and car-like, with three spokes and a few control buttons. Not surprisingly, it looks a little bit like the Dodge Dart.
Rumors suggest powertrains will include a 1.4-liter MultiAir Turbo with 160 hp, just like on the Fiat 500L and a 1.6 diesel engine. Production will take place at Fiat’s Melfi factory in Italy and probably in China as well.
People often say that having the Jeep name is like a license for printing money. The brand has a strong reputation built for reliability and strong trail capabilities. The new Cherokee is being well received, but could the Jeepster be one compromise too many? It certainly looks that way at first glance. It looks like the worst parts of a Nissan Cube and a Nissan Qashqai have been put into one car.
