Drivers who appreciate good wiper blades may be impressed with Fiat Qubo
Written by Susannah Birkwood
Motorists who appreciate that good grip can be just as important as efficient windscreen wiper blades in rain and snow may be impressed by a new model from Fiat.
The Qubo Trekking is based on the original version of the car but comes with Traction+.
Fiat explained this system improves handling in low-grip conditions by making use of an electronic differential lock on the front wheels.
However, the company also pointed out the device does not result in increased maintenance or fuel costs.
It predicted the economical nature of the model would attract a wide range of customers looking for an affordable off-roader.
Marketing director Elena Bernardelli commented: "The added benefits of the Traction+ system will complement the Qubo’s practicality and versatility perfectly, especially as it does so while keeping motoring costs down."
In other news, Fiat recently reported it increased its sales during August and claimed its largest market share since May 2001.
