A Cross 4x2? Pointless - and it destroys the USP of the Cross brand.
Frankly, the Fiat product design team need a kick up their lazy arses.
They weren't charging enough for the Trekking I guess. More profit here. Plus it comes with the 1.2 lump. Ace.
Have to recoup all those millions invested in the facelift, which seems to consist of some new wheels. And another colour.
For 12000 Euros and I quote: "A car can attract a younger audience, thanks to the perfect combination of urban style and distinctive look at an affordable price".
The City Cross 4x2 could do well, although I don't like the skid plates being in the body colour.
I was sad to see the Trekking discontinued, and posted on this board that it seemed strange Fiat was leaving this segment just when other manufacturers are getting in to the faux-4x4 (off road look but no off road ability) e.g. Renault Captur, Dacia Sandero Stepway, new Ford Fiesta 'Active' model. These are doing well - the Stepway outsells the standard Sandero, the Captur sells loads.
I felt that the Trekking 'looked' expensive as it wasn't available with the 1.2 The City Cross 4x2 could do well, although I don't like the skid plates being in the body colour.

Gareth is right (it's pointless). If it was £7500 on the road in 1.2 form, could be useful in light snow and low level flooding. Won't be of course. Fiat's loss as always.
Any news of it coming to the UK or not?
