The Fiat Freemont Crossroad has arrived in Australia offering class-leading power, style and comfort as standard.
The Freemont Crossroad is a cut above the rest – a model designed to meet the needs of modern families, who are looking
especially for space and practicality without sacrificing an elegant and distinctive look.
The Freemont Crossroad combines all the strengths of an SUV – including space, style and driving position – with the
best features of an MPV, like the seven seats, 32 seat configurations, 25 storage compartments and huge luggage space on
board (up to a maximum of 1,500 litres with second and third row seats folded down).
And with a 3.6-litre V6 engine that generates 206kW and 342Nm, there’s more than enough power to tackle any obstacle
in the urban jungle and beyond.
It's a spacious, convenient and versatile vehicle for everyday life, but also suitable for an active, sporty
lifestyle. That’s why the Freemont has been the best-selling seven-seater in Italy and leader in its segment for 35
months running. And this new top-of-the-range Crossroad perfectly captures the spirit of Australia’s active lifestyle.
New and exclusive interior and exterior
The new Fiat Freemont Crossroad offers a fresh look thanks to the new front bumper with Platinum Chrome colour
inserts, the glossy black front grille and fog light frames, Platinum Chrome colour side skirts and roof rails in the
same colour, as well as the black frames for the front and rear light clusters, and the rear bumper with Platinum Chrome
colour under-body protective insert. The Freemont Crossroad also has brand-new 19-inch burnished "Hyper Black" five-spoke
alloy wheels.
The Fiat Freemont Crossroad passenger compartment features unique details, like the new black leather seats with
sports mesh inserts and light ardesian grey top stitching, also on the central armrest and door panels.

Furthermore, a new Liquid Graphite colour finish highlights the dashboard, instrumentation, central console, door
panel and steering wheel. The steering wheel and gear knob offered in leather as standard lend the finishing touch to the
interior fittings.
Engine
Fitted with Fiat Chrysler Group’s Pentastar 3.6-litre V6, generating 206kW and 342Nm, and matched with a smooth
six-speed automatic transmission as standard, the Freemont Crossroad is smooth in the city but with plenty of power when
you need it – all with a fuel consumption rating of 10.4 litres per hundred kilometres (combined cycle).
Standard equipment and options
With its strong, decisive look and full equipment, the Crossroad trim level offers the cream of state-of-the-art
infotainment devices as standard. There's the 8.4-inch Uconnect touch screen satellite navigation system with maps, DVD
player and SD slot, Bluetooth connection, rear parking camera and an Alpine Premium sound system with six speakers, 368-W
amplifier and subwoofer.
The new Crossroad trim level offers a superior level of versatility and refinement among cross-overs. For example, the
driver's seat features 10-way electric adjustment, the front passenger seat can be completely folded down, with a large
storage compartment under the cushion, and the second and third rows of seats can be folded down, permitting nearly a
1.5 m³ load volume. What's more, the second row of seats reclines and features exclusive integrated child boosters,
permitting the transport of children weighing 15 to 36 kg, without using a child restraint system.
There are a total of 32 seat configurations, making the Freemont the most versatile cross-over and permitting
customers to organise the interior space with surprising flexibility. There are also more than 20 storage compartments,
with a total capacity of about 140 litres - comparable to a city car's entire luggage compartment - such as, for example,
the spacious compartments in the floor between the first and second row of seats, where valuable items such as cameras,
portable computers and bags can be hidden. Thanks to the fold-down seats, uniform load platform and total capacity of the
many storage compartments, the Freemont Crossroad offers surprising flexibility.
Finally, standard features also include electric heated and folding door mirrors, six airbags, illuminated cup
holders, Keyless Enter 'n Go with starting button as well as audio and driving speed regulation controls on the steering
wheel.
Standard features include:

Safety
The Fiat Freemont Crossroad has more than 50 safety devices available. These include the front passenger advanced
multistage airbags, active head restraints, electronic stability control with traction control system at all speeds and
the Brake Assist system. What's more, side window airbags for all three rows of seats, airbags in the front seats, disc
brakes on all four wheels, Isofix child restraint system attachment are also available.
The Electronic Rollover Mitigation (ERM) system and Trailer Sway Control (TSC) are also available. The ERM uses data
received from the ESC sensors to detect potential rollover risks and intervenes by varying the braking power supplied to
individual wheels and adjusting the position of the throttle valve. The Freemont also has an intelligent system which
takes care of your trailer, Trailer Sway Control (TSC). Once its sensors detect that the trailer is swaying, the system
intervenes automatically applying the correct braking action to the wheels in order to keep the trailer under control and
avoid dangerous oscillations. With this system, drivers can feel safe and confident when transporting their own loads.
