As you might know, a number of Chrysler, Fiat and Lancia models are swapping badges, and the latest is the Italian-designed Delta hatchback. However, the Chrysler Delta isn’t a model that comes out of Fiat’s ambitions for the US market, as it’s actually a right-hand drive car for the Britain and Ireland.
The Chrysler Delta went on sale last week in the UK, sporting a base price of £16,695 OTR for the base 1.4-liter T-Jet with 120 horsepower. A total of four trim levels are available, namely S, SE, SR and Limited.
The engine range starts out with the aforementioned 1.4-liter 1.4-liter T-Jet with 120 hp and 206Nm (152 lb-ft) of peak torque that manages to also offer up a combined economy of 44.8 mpg UK. Next up is the 1.4-liter MultiAir delivering 140 hp and 230Nm (170 lb-ft), with an even more impressive combined fuel economy of 49.6mpg UK.
In the diesel range, British buyers will be able to opt between the 1.6-liter Multijet with 120 hp and 300Nm (222 lb-ft) or a bigger 2.0-liter Multijet with 165 hp and 360Nm (266 lb-ft) of torque.
“People know us for large vehicles such as the Grand Voyager and 300C. We are transferring the values that lie behind those cars to the B and C segments. We are not going for high volumes. We want to be the choice for people who are seeking a credible alternative to traditional segment offerings," says Chrysler brand director Nigel Land.
