Fiat X1H


The official name is not yet confirmed, but the secret regarding the look of the Fiat X1H has just been revealed exclusively by Autos Secrets. Our projections anticipate the face of the new compact entry of Fiat, which hit the market in 2016. Production will begin in January and the launch is planned yet for the first half.

The X1H is handled internally as a state secret and everything related to the model is closely watched. How is the last project phase, the brand already assembles some units in Betim (MG). This end of cycle, the prototypes (VP's) are assembled on the production line and receive all the final pieces. To try to prevent leaks, all X1H the units are escorted by property security of Fiat. And so no one see the production of the finished assembly, the car is being camouflaged as they receive their parts.

Fiat works for the X1H have prices below R$ 30,000. To reduce costs, X1H is built on top of a hybrid platform, and the front is the same as the new Palio and Uno, while the back is all new. The architecture was all reinforced what model to get good marks in crash tests.


The visual, the relationship with the One is restricted to the roof, windshield and shape of the front door, which will only with new stamping. Moreover, Fiat managed to give another face to the compact. The front is high and the hood has two creases that make play with the top grade, which returns in a Fiat design. The grid painted in black piano has two bars and reminds the Freemont SUV. The hatch will be high as the front of the One, but the headlights are narrow and invade the side. The hood, creased, die in the grid, which will define the new visual style of the brand.

At the rear, the X1H will flashlight in round shape and above it a plastic piece in black piano will together with the back cover, which is all glass. The trunk lid will be very short. The rear bumper will house the nameplate and will be loud. Incidentally, the use of the trunk is vertical, as in Idea.

On the sides, the fenders are bulging and have two creases that extend from the back to the front. The higher is the height of the door handles and the bottom gets higher on the back door and gets thinner to death in the air box of the front door.

Unlike what was speculated, Fiat will not draw any line model with the arrival of X1H. Even veteran Palio Fire will live with the novelty of at least one year. In 2016, Fiat will feature five compact hatches (Palio Fire, X1H, Uno, new Palio and Punto).
