Jaipur: Italian carmaker Fiat has announced its lineup for the upcoming 2014 Geneva Motor Show. The company will present the world debut of the Panda Cross and Freemont Cross at the show.
The Panda Cross also offers some AWD features for off-roaders. Its 'Terrain Control' has three different driving modes- AUTO, LOCK and HILL DESCENT.
AUTO - Automatic distribution of drive between the two axles in accordance with the grip of the road surface
LOCK - The four-wheel drive is always active for optimal off-road use, with distribution of torque among the four wheels, braking the wheels that are losing grip (or slip more than the others), and thus transferring the drive to those with the most grip.
HILL DESCENT - For optimum handling of particularly steep hill descents or when going down extremely bumpy routes.
LOCK - The four-wheel drive is always active for optimal off-road use, with distribution of torque among the four wheels, braking the wheels that are losing grip (or slip more than the others), and thus transferring the drive to those with the most grip.
HILL DESCENT - For optimum handling of particularly steep hill descents or when going down extremely bumpy routes.
The front fascia of the Panda Cross features a new bumper, which boasts a generous skid plate in a satin titanium colour with a design of holes which reinterprets the Panda's characteristic "squircle" motif. Tow hooks with an immediately recognisable new design in a brilliant red place emphasis on its off-road character. It gets new headlights and new fog lights integrated with the logo holder bonnet trim, and new DRLs with LED technology, built into the skid plate. The 15" alloy wheels sport a 5-spoke V design and a burnished metal finish.
Two engine versions are available, both with Start&Stop standard and boasting higher performance than the versions on the Panda 4x4: the 80 HP 1.3 MultiJet II turbodiesel and 90 HP 0.9 TwinAir Turbo petrol, the latter with specific 6-speed transmission with shortened first gear.
