Fiat launches Punto Sport diesel

Alongside the grand opening of its second Fiat Caffe in the country and the very first in the city of Pune Fiat India launched its very radical looking limited edition Punto Sport diesel at a price of Rs. 7.36 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).  Powered by a 1.3 litre Multi Jet diesel engine the Punto Sport produces 93PS @ 4000rpm and 209Nm of torque @ 2000rpm. The solid engineering of the widely implemented diesel motor will help the sporty hatch deliver adequate power without compromising on fuel efficiency which promises to deliver 20.3 kmpl.

Available in three colour options of white, red and black, the limited edition gets special side decals, rear and colour coded door mirrors. It also sports chrome door handles and exhaust tip. Interior upgrades include red stitching on seats, leather gear knob and gear cover, aluminium pedals, chrome lining on dash and Punto branded door sills. In addition, it will come with dual stage airbags, ABS with EBD, automatic climate control, integrated Blue & Me infotainment system.

Speaking at the launch of the new Punto Sport at the new Fiat Caffe in Pune, Enrico Atanasio, Head- Commercial, FIAT India Automobiles Ltd said, “At FIAT, we believe in providing our customers with newer and better cars designed with the best-in-class comfort and technology. We are hopeful that the new limited edition variant of the Punto Sport will be well-received by our customers and will succeed in delighting them. We are committed to the Indian market and with this Caffé we aim to offer the real FIAT experience. This is a step towards ramping up our direct presence in India and we will continue to remain aggressive on this front in the future.”

The company plans to set up 12 such Caffes across major cities in India. These showrooms offer a different experience of buying a car. Besides getting their hands on a Fiat of their choice, customers at the Fiat Caffe can also browse through FIAT websites, revel in some live music by various performing artists, research on brand FIAT and its motorsport heritage and much more when visiting the lifestyle oriented showroom. Fiat has now part ways from its Tata joint venture and recently inaugurated its first exclusive showroom in Hyderabad.City-wise prices of the Fiat Grande Punto Sport 90HP Diesel are as follows.
