The Fiat Albea is the sedan version of the Fiat Palio small family car, built in Turkey at the Tofaş facilities of the Italian automaker Fiat. It is the replacement for the Siena and has been in production since 2002.
The Albea was designed by the Italian design guru Giorgetto Giugiaro.
In some markets, the car is only sold with one engine. In Romania, Fiat decided that the best strategy in order to compete with the local low-cost model, the Dacia Logan, is to only provide the 1.4L 8-valve petrol engine, rated at 77 bhp (57 kW) @ 6000 rpm and 115 N·m (85 ft·lbf) at 3000 rpm with 3 versions named Active, Confort and Dynamic, starting from 8.367 Euro.
Sales of the Albea have been slow over the past 3 years-due to the fact that the Albea is only sold in a few Eastern European markets, in 2005 sales totalled 4,000 units, in 2006 sales totalled 3,500 units. For 2008 Fiat plans a large expansion for the Albea. Based on the new Siena, Albea mk 2 will be used as Fiat's tool for success in Russia. Fiat is planning to make 50,000 Albeas in Russia next year-as part of its joint venture with Severstal auto
