International Business Times has reported that Fiat will soon launch a successor to Fiat Punto, to be named Fiat Primo, and, according to the medium, the mass production for the European market will be carried out in the factory in Kragujevac.

As IBT reports, the design of the car has been outdated and Fiat reportedly has no plans to launch yet another generation of the Punto. But the company will be launching a successor to the model and it may be called Primo.

According to Fiat, as IBT reports, announcement from FCA regarding the Punto successor is expected in November 2017, and the production is to start in 2018.

As reported, the Punto successor will be based on the Fiat X6H platform, which underpins the Argo sold exclusively in the Brazilian market. However, the Primo will not be a revamped version of the Argo. The new car is expected to feature major aesthetic changes.

Primo will be competing against the Volkswagen Polo and Nissan Micra, and Fiat will focus on comfort, convenience and safety in the new model.

The model should be produced in Kragujevac, but also in India, the portal reports.

Let us remind that it was recently announced that Fiat Kragujevac might be put in charge of the production of the Italian company’s new B-SUV model.
