We’re going to go ahead and give the marketing wizards at Fiat the benefit of the doubt, and say that they didn’t have some regrettable American history in mind when they dubbed the latest iteration of the Dodge Journey Fiat Freemont “Black Code.” Suffice it to say that such a special edition sobriquet wouldn’t fly here in The States.
Risqué names or no, Fiat claims that the Freemont has been somewhat of a hit in Italy to date, with the automaker telling us that the crossover has led it’s segment in the country for two years running now. The Black Code looks to build on that success by adding a top trim level to the basic formula.
The Black Code has got plenty of black accents, don’t you worry; the CUV boasts new noir on the front grille, 19-inch alloy wheels, mirror covers and headlight frames. Standard three-zone climate control, heated leather seating, parking sensors and a navigation system with an 8.4-inch touchscreen highlight the list of standard features.
Functionally, the top-end Freemont can be had with front- or all-wheel drive, with powertrain options ranging from a 170-horsepower, 2.0-liter MultiJet diesel to a 280-hp, 3.6-liter Pentastar V6.
