Fiat is set to launch a new small crossover called Ellezero (”L0″ in Italian), a car designed to compete with the likes of Citroen C3 Picasso, and Opel Meriva and Ford B-Max. Apparently, the model will be officially unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in view of its commercial debut in Europe in mid-2012 and then in North America in early 2013, possibly as a Chrysler model.

The new model will be assembled in a Fiat’s plant in Serbia, but apart from that there are not many details available about this model at the moment. The Ellezero is expected to come with the same 1.4-litre petrol unit used by the 500 - a model that also inspired the design of the new little MPV from Fiat - and be available in five and seven-passenger variants, but none of this information has been officially confirmed by the carmaker as for yet. More info on the subject will probably be released ahead of its unveiling in Geneva this March.
