Fiat Tipo

Fiat Tipo is the successor to ageing Linea sedan which will be sold in markets like Africa, Europe and Middle East with the same name, but will have a different name in Turkish market. Starting with the dimensions, the sedan will measure 4500 mm long, 1780 mm wide and 1480 mm tall. Wheelbase will measure around 2640 mm. On the outside, the sedan adorns a new design that looks refreshing. Cabin gets a cascading dashboard and a well stuffed centre console with practical storage places. The dials, buttons and the entire interior layout seem contemporary. Enveloped in a dark colour theme, a hint of chrome around the dashboard looks elegant. Features embedded inside include a three-spoke steering wheel, HVAC vents place in centre and either side of the dashboard, automatic climate control, Bluetooth connectivity and Uconnect infotainment system featuring 5-inch colour touchscreen display.

There will be two engine choices including a 1.3 litre Multijet diesel engine and a 1.6 litre Multijet diesel motor. There might not be a choice for a gasoline engine. Of the two motors, the renowned 1.3 litre Multijet engine used in most of the cars in India will be employed offering power output of 95 Hp. And the higher displacement 1.6 litre Multijet engine is expected to propagate 120 Hp. As for transmission options are concerned, a five-speed manual and a 6-speed manual gearbox could be available.

There is yet no clarity on mileage front, but likely to be powered by the diesel motors, we expect Tipo to be able to return excellent mileage, specially the variants featuring 1.3 litre Multijet engine as it powers some of the most frugal cars in India.
