COMPREHENSIVE RANGE
 

The Nuova Croma is proposed in an extremely comprehensive range, in which everyone will find the Croma he is looking for. Different solutions are offered on different markets, but they all offer the same value for money, and reflect the many ways of interpreting and using the car. In Italy, for example, the range includes a choice of 4 engines (the 2.2 petrol unit is not available), 5 outfits (Classic, Active, Dynamic, Emotion and Must), 10 bodywork colours, and 4 interior environments in a choice of cloth, Castiglio and leather.

The first two specifications, Classic and Active, feature Nattè cloth upholstery, a Lavagna Grey facia coordinated with the carpeting, and inserts in the facia and panels that are painted Cosmos Grey. Where the equipment is concerned, both outfits propose a manual climate system as standard, with a radio-CD player, a split folding rear seat (60/40), height-adjustable front seats and a central console with a refrigerated cell and oddment compartment. The array of safety equipment is also standard: dual stage front airbags, sidebags to protect the head and head restraints on all the seats (those at the front are ‘antiwhiplash’ type). On the outside, the outfit includes a spoiler on the tailgate, miniskirts, chrome door handles and body-coloured bumpers. To this, the Nuova Croma Active adds foglights, a driver’s side knee-bag, front side airbags, and ESP electronic stability control.

The third outfit, Dynamic, proposes the same features as the Active where the facia, inserts and carpets are concerned, but differs for the seats, which have cushions upholstered in Chromo with side strips in Vicuna. The features that distinguish this outfit include: controls on the leather steering wheel, Cruise Control, 16” alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, chrome window frames and shiny-effect black pillars.

The fourth specification, known as Emotion, differs on the inside for the mouldings (in Grey or Wenghe Brown) and seat upholstery: the cushion is in Techno while the side strips are in Castiglio. Compared to the Dynamic specification, it adds dark windows, a parking sensor, tilting front seats (the passenger seat folds down), 17” alloy wheels, a double luggage compartment and a sunblind for the rear seats. The Nuova Croma range is completed by the Must specification, which adds seats with Techno-upholstered cushions and side strips in leather, 18” wheels and an opening sunroof.

The complete range of standard and optional equipment for the Italian market follows; it can be enriched with articles chosen from the Lineaccessori range, to underline the model’s practicality and versatility, and to meet the functional and emotional demands of any customer: from roof bars to luggage restraint nets, an alarm system and a trailer hook.
