The Urban Cross shares an identical look with the concept model that was showcased during the Auto Expo. The car looks similar to the Fiat Avventura and has similar ground clearance of 205mm.

The Urban Cross comes with side body cladding and to make the car look more aggressive, all the variants come with standard roof rails and roof spoiler.
Fiat Urban Cross is powered by both petrol and diesel engine options. The diesel engine is the regular 1.3-litre multijet engine that also goes under the hood of Fiat Punto Evo. The diesel engine produces a maximum power of 90 BHP. The petrol engine is a more powerful 140 BHP 1.4-litre T-Jet engine that also powers the Avventura powered by Abarth model.
Fiat offers features like Smartech 5.0-inch touch-sensitive infotainment system as a standard across all the variants of the car. The infotainment system gets navigation and Bluetooth as a standard feature.
Fiat is offering the Emotion and Dynamic variants of the car with burgundy coloured premium interiors with color-coordinated door inserts. The door armrests are finished in glossy piano black. Fiat will offer the upgraded interiors for a limited time.
