The 2005 Fiat Croma (2nd generation) marked a significant shift for the Italian automaker, showcasing a move towards a more sophisticated and refined driving experience. This mid-size executive car, designed and engineered in collaboration with General Motors, aimed to compete directly with established players like the Opel Vectra and the Ford Mondeo. The Croma's sleek and modern design, penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro, contrasted with the more utilitarian approach found in previous Fiat models. It presented a spacious and comfortable interior, boasting a wealth of features like a panoramic sunroof, leather upholstery, and a sophisticated climate control system. The Croma's commitment to comfort was further amplified by the available "Active Suspension System," allowing for a smooth and controlled ride regardless of road conditions.

Under the hood, the Croma offered a range of powerful and efficient engines. The petrol options included the 1.8-liter and 2.2-liter units, while the diesel lineup featured the 1.9-liter and 2.4-liter JTD engines. All powertrains were paired with a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission, providing drivers with a choice between spirited performance and relaxed cruising. The Croma incorporated advanced safety features such as ABS, ESP, and multiple airbags, ensuring driver and passenger protection. Despite its innovative design and comprehensive features, the 2005 Fiat Croma struggled to gain traction in the competitive European market. Production ended in 2010, leaving behind a unique legacy as an ambitious yet ultimately unsuccessful attempt by Fiat to establish itself as a major player in the mid-size executive car segment.
