Fiat previews Freemont Cross

 Fiat has announced the debut of its Dodge-based Freemont crossover at the upcoming 84th Geneva Int'l Motor Show that will open its doors in a little over a week.

Called Freemont Cross, the crossover is essentially identical to the Dodge Journey Crossroad that debuted in Chicago last month. The Fiat-badged version gains new bumpers with faux chrome trim on both ends, a mesh radiator grille with a gloss black frame, side skirts and model-specific roof rails. 19-inch five-spoke alloy wheels wrap up the exterior updates.

Inside, the Freemont Cross features black leather seats, bespoke trim pieces on the dashboard and a leather-upholstered multi-function steering wheel. An 8.4-inch touch screen that runs a market-specific version of Chrysler's Uconnect infotainment system comes standard.

The Freemont Cross is powered by either a 140-hp 2.0-liter MultiJet II four-cylinder engine - linked to a six-speed manual transmission that spins the front wheels - or a 170-hp version of the mill mated to a six-speed manual or to a six-speed automatic that transfers power to all four wheels.

After debuting in Geneva, the Fiat Freemont Cross will go on sale across Europe next fall. Pricing information will be published closer to the crossover's on-sale date.
