Technical characteristics of Fiat Albaa - an excellent "budget"

Low price, beautiful design, excellent technical characteristics ... "Fiat Albea" can be called the standard of modern "budget". And this is not just an advertising move, but a thought-out marketing strategy of the Italian concern Fiat. After all, this car was the first sedan in the history of mankind, which did not have an overestimate value even in the maximum trim levels. The company that produced this novelty was not going to charge extra money for its "brand and name" from its customers. So, since 2003, the car Fiat Albea has become a cult sedan in Europe and gradually gained popularity in the former USSR. The demand for a novelty in Russia was so great that in 3 years a serial assembly of these sedans was started at the ZMA plant (Naberezhnye Chelny). So, let's consider what the Italian concern invented for the wonder machine, and what technical characteristics it has.

Fiat Albea and its design

The image of the novelty has a completely elegant appearance. Smooth lines of the body, spectacular falshradiatorny grating and elegant headlights give the car more expensive - it does not pull it to the "budget", it's probably a business sedan.

Inside

Despite the fact that the salon of the novelty, though it does not have any luxurious details, is made very soundly and functionally. Finishing materials in most cases have light colors without any ambitions. The layout of the cabin is made so that even on the back row the car is able to comfortably accommodate middle-class passengers. The driver, too, is not in cramped - free space here is more than enough. The front row of seats has a rather stiff filling, but at the same time a person is able to adjust it specifically for him. Separate praise deserves a comfortable steering wheel, which does not slip at the hands of the driver and does not cause fatigue. By the way, the steering column has a height adjustment.

Fiat Albaa: specifications

In Russia, only one gasoline unit will be available. With its working volume of 1.4 liters, it develops a horsepower of 77 horsepower. If we talk about high-speed technical characteristics, Fiat Albaa with such units is gaining "a hundred" in 13.5 seconds. The peak speed is 162 kilometers per hour. Dynamics, of course, is weak here. Although such modest technical characteristics ("Fiat Albea" still "budget"), dynamics are more than compensated by economical fuel consumption. In a mixed mode, the Italian sedan consumes only 6 liters of gasoline per 100 km. In addition, at speeds of 100 or more kilometers per hour, the engine does not work with excessive noise and vibrations.

Price

The initial cost for the new 2013 sedan in the base version is about 315 thousand rubles. According to many motorists this "Italian" is an excellent alternative to the domestic car VAZ "Priora", which also has a body sedan and is in the same price category.

As you can see, the sedan "Fiat Albaa" is not designed for racing. This car is for those people who value comfort first and foremost. And at the moment the model of "Albea" can rightfully be considered the standard of the modern "budgetary".
