Fiat S.p.A. started selling its second China-made model, the Ottima compact hatchback, in China last week.

The Ottima is derived from the Viaggio compact sedan, Fiat's first locally produced vehicle, and is priced from 108,800 to 158,800 yuan ($17,740 to $25,890).


The Ottima is 4,545 mm long, 1,850 mm wide and 1,476 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,708 mm.

The car is powered by a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine combined with a five-speed manual or eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The Ottima is built at GAC Fiat Automobiles Co., the Italian automaker's joint venture with Guangzhou Automobile Group Co.


GAC Fiat, established in 2010 in the central China city of Changsha, can produce as many as 140,000 vehicles a year. Last year, the company sold 11,288 vehicles.

GAC Fiat also wants to produce the new Jeep Cherokee in China. But the two partners have yet decide whether to build the Jeep in Changsha or at Guangzhou Auto's assembly plant in the south China city of Guangzhou.
