The development phase of the five-door hatchback version of Fiat's rather awkwardly named for English language speakers, the Viaggio , which itself is the China market edition of the North American Dodge Dart compact sedan, is nearing its end, as these spy shots prove.
In fact, according to local media reports, the Fiat Viaggio Hatchback will break cover at the 2013 Guangzhou International Auto Show held in late November.
The pictures, along with the fairly accurate renderings posted below reveal a sleek looking body for the hatch with a sloped rear window. Like the sedan, the five-door version will be manufactured in China from the Italian automaker's joint venture with the Guangzhou Automobile Group.
In China, the hatch should be offered with a similar range of engines as the sedan, including Fiat's 1.4-liter turbocharged petrol unit. There are no current plans to offer the hatch in other markets.
