Italian carmaker Fiat has finally unveiled the all-new 2018 Cronos sedan. Fiat will introduce the new sedan in the South American markets such as Brazil before the end of 2017.

The new Fiat Cronos is based on the recently revealed Argo hatchback. But the new sedan features a host of design changes which distinguish it from the hatchback.

The newly unveiled Cronos sedan will replace the Linea which has been in the market for a very long time. In India, Fiat has not been a major player in the sedan segment, but the Cronos looks promising with its fresh design and premium features. If Fiat brings the Cronos to India, it will be a fierce rival to the likes of Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, Volkswagen Vento, Hyundai Verna and Honda City.
