“Meeting roads for the first time in October 2015, Egea was developed in line with the wishes of Turkish customers and was loved very much. Egea, which is a very ambitious car with its price/performance balance, has not left the summit to anyone for 5 years. The 15% share in its segment and the total sales figure of 274,341 units once again reflect the strength of this model family. Today, we are pleased that the Fiat Egea family is on the road with best-in-class technologies and safety features. With Egea Cross, we are entering a new segment that Turkish customers appreciate and prefer. In addition to the Sedan, Hatchback, and Station Wagon body options of the model family, we believe that the family will maintain its top position, which will become stronger with the Egea Cross with the Crossover body.”

Renewed Egea family offers a keyless and wireless user experience
According to the information provided, the completely renewed Egea model family meets the roads of Turkey with three different equipment levels named Easy (Sedan)/Street (other bodies), Urban, and Lounge.
While the Fiat Egea family continues to offer a very large interior space to all its passengers, it also continues to provide wide legroom for both front and rear passengers by offering one of the best values in its class in terms of interior volume.
The entire family features the reinterpreted front grille and the Fiat logo, indicating the new approach. The LED technology used in both front and rear, which can be selected in all body options of the redesigned model family, not only gives the car a more modern appearance but also increases active safety.
In the front, Full LED headlight technology contributes to driving safety with improved visibility, while at the same time reducing the car’s energy consumption and thus carbon dioxide emissions. The lower part of the front bumper, enriched with chrome details, also displays a new and dynamic appearance. The renewed design also draws attention to new 16-inch and diamond-cut 17-inch alloy wheels with a modern appearance that varies according to the equipment levels.
In the interior of the Egea family, the indicator previously used is replaced by a new 7-inch digital instrument panel designed exclusively for Egea, making life easier for the driver. The new digital display is integrated with the completely new 5th generation UConnect multimedia system with a 10-inch touch screen.
The Easy equipment option, which is the entry version of the Egea Sedan, draws attention to the newly designed 15-inch wheels, glossy black front grille, and halogen headlights and rear lights. Urban equipment level includes new 16-inch style wheels, Full Led front and Led rear lights, and fog lights as standard. The Urban hardware level also includes Carplay/Android Auto support and a 7-inch multimedia system.
In the Lounge, which is the highest hardware version of the Sedan, 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, full-LED front and LED rear lights, darkened rear windows, and a 10-inch multimedia system and 7-inch instrument panel are being prepared to meet the customers. In addition to all these, keyless entry & start, blind-spot warning system, rear row USB output, and reversing camera are also offered as standard in this version.
In the new Fiat Egea models, the steering wheel also attracts attention with its more stylish and sportier design and completely renewed. The steering wheel, which has a more compact size, is designed to be more ergonomic while making the 7-inch digital instrument panel look better. In the family, the redesigned air conditioning controls, the center console enriched with chrome and black details stand out with its new design.
It is noteworthy that in addition to the renewed design in the Egea model family, a comprehensive technological renewal has been made. While the Egea model family is produced with the most up-to-date Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS), the renewed multimedia system also offers the opportunity to connect two phones wirelessly via Bluetooth at the same time. The Egea family is also preparing to make life easier with features such as a traffic sign recognition system, smart speed assistant, lane tracking system, driver fatigue warning system, smart high beam, blind-spot warning system, front parking sensors, and keyless entry/start and wireless smartphone charging. In addition, it facilitates the user’s life with the Hands-Free Luggage System, which is optional in the Sedan model.
New Egea Cross
The Egea Cross, the new member of the Fiat Egea family, stands out as the first crossover model produced in Tofas, as well as a versatile car for a new target audience.
The Egea Cross looks as wide and imposing as it should be in a crossover model, with its strong and bold design lines and a new grille appearance extending under the headlights. With its new suspension structure, new rim, and tire dimensions, the ground clearance of the Egea Cross is bigger by 4 centimeters compared to other body options.
Thanks to the roof rails offered as standard in all Cross versions, the Egea Cross gains 7 centimeters in total compared to its hatchback counterpart. The Fiat Egea Cross, which can be preferred with the Street, Urban, and Lounge equipment levels, reveals both its design and functional difference with its larger tires that reinforce its strong appearance.
The body architecture of the Egea Cross, which is 7 centimeters higher than the Egea Hatchback, offers a higher riding position. The Egea Cross’s crossover details start with the body cladding around the fenders and continue on the sides and front.
The muscular front and rear bumpers specially designed for the Cross, the side sills and the roof rails specific to this body type bring the car a powerful and flashy appearance.
In Egea Cross, which has been implemented with rich security and technology features according to its class, like other members of the family, features such as traffic sign recognition system, smart speed assistant, lane tracking system, driver fatigue warning system, smart high beam, blind-spot warning system, front parking sensors and keyless entry/start and wireless smartphone charging are preparing to make life easier.
The Egea Cross, which offers innovative and modern technological possibilities in multimedia, includes the fifth generation UConnect 5 multimedia system with advanced connectivity solutions and a 10-inch touch screen.
Uconnect 5, which has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, offers the possibility to store up to 5 configurations with customizable profiles. The multimedia system in the Egea Cross offers the possibility to connect two phones at the same time via Bluetooth, just like the other members of the family. The user can thus use two different mobile phones simultaneously and manage incoming and outgoing calls at the same time without switching from one connection to another to answer a call on the currently disconnected phone.
Lower fuel consumption and emission values
The renewed Egea and Egea Cross attract attention with the brand new 100 HP 1.0-liter Firefly T3 engine added to the engine range.
1.0 Firefly T3, a part of the FireFly Turbo engine family, offers superior performance by combining low consumption and emission values with more power and torque.
The new 1.0-liter engine provides an extremely smooth and enjoyable ride with high traction power offered at low rpm and superior driving comfort with the low noise level. The CO2 emission of the engine drops down to 121 g/km (according to the WLTP norm) and at the same time provides less fuel consumption.
