Re: Fiat Punto Facelift Caught on Test: TAI Exclusive!

Front looks very good in the pics. Awesome headlights. However the door handles still looks like the outdated flap types. The new tail light design looks awesome too.

But whats with that hideous chrome thing on the rear bumper??? Punto always had a classy design, there was no need at all for Fiat to add these cheap looking chrome accents.

A Closer look at the interiors.

New pictures reveal that the Fiat Punto EVO will come with two interior trim levels, a dual tone beige black theme for the regular variants and an all-black theme for the 90 HP Sport model. The car’s top end variant will get textured dashboard finish and ambient lighting to liven up proceedings. Rear AC vents will be another feature that will mark out the top end variant.

Variants and details explianed for the Punto Evo.

The Punto EVO will be sold with 7 variants for the buyer to choose from, 3 in petrol and 4 in diesel. While the petrol and turbo diesel engined variants will have the Active, Dynamic and Emotion variants as common, the Sport variant will be limited to the 90 Bhp diesel variant. In terms of equipment, the Punto EVO’s variant line up seems similar to that of the pre-facelift model.

Re: Fiat Punto Evo (Facelift) Caught on Test: TAI Exclusive!

Sad to see only one new color.
Ideally they should have brought one more trim bellow active variant so msil fans would have got a chance to compare basic variants of swift & punto.
Anyways, it seems fiat is not very serious about business in India.

Re: Fiat Punto Evo (Facelift) Caught on Test: TAI Exclusive!

Earlier when Fiat was tied up with Tatas, everybody were blaming Tatas for their low sales. What happened now? Its been almost 6 months (more than that i think). Did Fiat fire the sales charts?

Come on Fiat grow up and launch more n more models every year as Tatas have planned to revamp their position in the Indian list and globally as well. Get more serious. I love Fiat cars for sure and he is such an old car maker. Having all this under his belt, he just need to turn a little aggressive like Japs and Kors to make their business run than crawl.

Re: Fiat Punto Evo (Facelift) Caught on Test: TAI Exclusive!

The facelift looks promising. The issue of flimsy interiors looks to have been well taken care of. However, I fail to understand why Fiat has no strategies of bringing any competition in the entry level hatch or sedan segment. They have one of the bet engines in the country. When some of the best selling cars in the country are powered by their technology, I feel sad to see them struggling for decent sales of their own cars.

There's also a trip calculator which shows the average speed and duration.

Body coloured wing mirrors and door handles, and electrically adjustable wing mirrors, and front and rear power windows are also included.

Re: Fiat Punto Evo (Facelift) Caught on Test: TAI Exclusive!

Not going to sell very well. Where is the novelty ? Where are the multi air, t jet, 1.6 mid, AMT/dualogic transmissions?

With each passing day, this Fiat fan is getting disappointed. Fiat really needs to pull a wolf out of their hat to save themselves.. they seem to be bringing out the same rabbits, pigeons and parrots.
