Fiat to Build Brava Successor in Turkey

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's venture in Turkey will supply Europe with a replacement for the Fiat Bravo five-door hatch beginning in 2016.

FCA's Tofas partnership with Turkey's Koc Holding AS will make three body styles of the new model. Automotive News Europe says a hatchback variant will replace the Bravo, a sedan is expected to replace the Linea sedan and a small wagon will give FCA its first such configuration in eight years.

The three models will use the same platform that carries the Fiat 500L mini MPV and Jeep Renegade small SUV. Most of Tofas' output will be exported.
