Re: Fiat Punto Adventure Mini SUV
Well, I don't really think the Avventura is a mini-SUV. Having the spare wheel on the hatch is not the only criteria for a SUV. Avventura is an attempt to be crossover like Cross-Polo and Etios Cross which are nothing more than the same hatchbacks with some body mods and interior mods. Ecosport and Duster are probably close to mini-SUV and Avventura is not that. I don't think it has the ground clearance of an Ecosport / Duster as well.

Re: Fiat Punto Adventure Mini SUV
Polo cross/Etios cross have not made much impact. This is after all punto with tail mounted spare. Punto already had good ground clearance. What is Fiat trying to provide us with? Also punto platform is now almost a decade old and linea/punto haven't really done spectacularly. If Fiat wants to succeed they should get new products like panda, 500X and the likes.

2014 Fiat Avventura front production body spied.
Fiat Avventura would have a set of larger rear wheels to give it a SUV look and wider ground clearance. The car gets unique styling over the bonnet with sharp lines making it a pure Italian design with curvy panels. Front faux skid plates are added to enhance crossover stance. The car gets projector headlamps similar to the one showcased at the 2014 Auto Expo. The production version will not be having DRLs but fog lamps. At the rear end body cladding incorporates two chrome plated exhaust ends adding dynamics to the car. The production version will be having body cladding all over the car with roof rails to make the car look taller.

More spottings of the Avventura before the speculated festive launch.
Going by thhe anticipated specifications the Avventura could cannibalize the fortcoming facelifted Punto volumes.

Re: Fiat Punto Avventura "Mini SUV"
Another model that will be looked upon as a Punto variant by customers and will sell 100 units per month MAX. I wonder what exactly are these companies trying to pitch at with this crossover business. Who are they targeting? If it is the sauve urban professsional, then I think they need to design a fresh car like an Ecosport or Duster .
If they are targeting the rural rich, then those folks already have the "real" SUV choices marked and are very clear about what they want.
To sum it up differently - Its like asking a sexy lady to wear heavy boots, heavy duty cargo pants and accessorize with a workman sack instead of a the usual purse/handbags. At the end of the day, she's still a lady, you know..not a lumberjack.

We can buy punto hoila after some modification it is aventura...Re: Fiat Punto Avventura "Mini SUV"
This variant is neither here nor there. its basically a hatch trying to be an SUV. in the end its neither. You have a hatch with 200 mm GC (handling goes for a toss0 but interior space and packaging of a hatch (not really an SUV now, is it?), doesnt look butch but tries hard by wearing pseudo armour. and to top it all, given Indian's craze for anything remotely resembling an SUV, Fiat will price it as a premium product. if it nudges 10L, then this too will be a sales dud.
