Fiat's new Compact vehicle architecture is planned to underpin 700,000 Chrysler vehicles a year in the U.S. Chrysler and Fiat currently are working on widening the platform, known as Compact Wide, which is planned to underpin seven new models for Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep Brands.
According to Automotive News, the first Chrysler's to receive the new architecture will replace the PT Cruiser and Dodge Caliber in 2012. The Compact vehicle architecture is scheduled to debut in the 2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta.
The development of the architecture took into account the "best-in-class performance in terms of handling and steering response, weight-to-power ratio; noise, vibration and harshness, active and passive safety," said Stefano Re Fiorentinn, head of advanced engineering for Fiat.
