The compact sport-utility vehicle, which debuted today at the Geneva International Motor Show, will serve as a critical test for the carmaker being formed from the merger of Fiat SpA and Jeep parent Chrysler. The American brand’s new entry-level model will be made in Italy and share underpinnings with the 500X, a crossover version of the trendy Fiat city car.
