Finally the much awaited Fiat Grande Punto will ply on Indian roads. This large hatchback of its kind is available in three engine options- the 1.4-litre FIRE Petrol, the 1.3-litre MultiJet diesel and a surprise excise special 1.2-litre FIRE Petrol. All engines are mated to a 5 speed manual gearbox. The diesel engine is capable of generating an output of 75bhp.The car will be available in three variants, namely, the Active, Dynamic and Emotion.
The Grande Punto is an absolute jaw dropper. Its teardrop shaped headlights set at far corners of the car's front end are too cute. The highlights, exterior lines, wheel arches and the tight crease running between them, the side mirrors and the bumpers fore and aft make the car extremely attractive. The car has abundant space to offer and a large boot to organize all the paraphernalia. The driver's seat is crafted for better sitting posture and the seats are made of the best fabric. The dashboard is finely set and the white dialed instrument cluster are prize winners and the steering wheel snugly fit in the palms of the driver.
The pricing of Fiat Grande Punto is as follows (all prices ex-showroom Delhi):
1.2 Petrol (Active) Rs.3,99,000/-1.4 Petrol (Dynamic) Rs.4,66,000/-
1.4 Petrol (Emotion) Rs.5,06,000/-
1.3 Diesel (Active) Rs.4,85,000/-
1.3 Diesel (Dynamic) Rs.5,16,000/-
1.3 Diesel (Emotion) Rs.5,56,000/-
The Grande Punto has been Europe’s best seller since 2005. The launch of the Fiat Grande Punto comes at a time when Maruti has released the Ritz hatchback which falls in the same segment taking competition to new levels. Fiat eying for the chunk of the market space with its all new Grande Punto will be competing with other popular cars such as Maruti Suzuki Swift, Hyundai i20, Chevrolet Aveo U-VA and Tata Indica Vista which also falls in the same premium hatchback category.

Fiat is strengthening its small car segment by launching new cars. But despite a good Italian technology, the Fiat cars are not dong well in India.
Fiat is offering this big hatchback at a competitive price. What about the Fiat Bravo launch? When it is going to happen? What will be the price of Bravo?
It will be good to see Punto competing with Ritz and i10.
That's great news. Well, maybe this time Fiat could gain its long-been-wanted acceptance from the public.
Fiat, though little compared to other car maker, is going to make it in India. With the great line of cars that it is offering them at good prices, well, they'll surely reach high sales.
