Earlier in 2007, Fiat’s outgoing CEO Luca De Meo revealed two very important future models at an investor conference. One was B-Compact Fiat Uno, while the other was called CX-OVER (shown in the picture).

Fiat is said to have started working on the CX-Over (crossover) that will be bigger than Fiat Panda 4×4 and will pack the functionality of an MPV (as quoted by Fiat in the title). The car will measure about 4.5 meters in length, meant to be easy to use in the city and perform as a good offroader.

With FWD and 4WD versions on offer, the CX-Over will be priced between €22,000 and 30,000 (about $30,700 to 41,900). When released in 2010, the CX-Over will rival the Nissan Qashqai, Audi’s new Q3 and the Ford Kuga.
