INVISTA is announcing an exciting new collection of automotive seating fabrics, in partnership with AUNDE Italia. The first styles in the AUNDE Italia upholstery range made of CORDURA fabric were introduced in the new FIAT Cinquecento, which was officially unveiled on July 4.

By mid-Oct. up to 22,000 units of the highly customized FIAT Cinquecento, which features more than 500,000 possible combinations of styling options had been sold. Both the Sport and Lounge models contain AUNDE Italia's upholstery made of CORDURA fabric. The AUNDE Italia upholstery made of CORDURA fabric is available in two colour options for the Lounge model and a further colour option for the Sport model.

FIAT'S 1950's models are what inspire the seats of the Cinquecento. They feature a split effect of solid tone fabric at the bottom and an upper lunette and head restraint that match the colour of the steering wheel. Additionally, the upholstered portions of the door panels are made to match the seats. The recently unveiled Cinquecento offers 15 upholstery options, including luxurious CORDURA fabric styles made by AUNDE Italia SpA.

“AUNDE Italia entered into a relationship with INVISTA because we recognized the superior quality of CORDURA fabric,” says Antonio Brusadelli, CEO, AUNDE Italia SpA. “The fabric's reputation for long-lasting durability and INVISTA's successful track record in the automotive industry made CORDURA fabric the right choice.”

CORDURA fabric is specifically engineered to offer maximum durability and to meet the critical standards expected in the automotive industry.
