It is speculated that an aluminum frame could be used to reduce weight and increase energy efficiency and the possibility of implementing semi-autonomous driving systems. Therefore, the implementation of a quick charging system to increase ease of use and the possibility of using public charging stations is not excluded.

Compared to the Alfa Romeo and Fiat siblings, the price should be lower. Thanks to this model, Fiat can once again do well in markets where the Italian company has been below the market average for some time.
