The Fiat Grande Punto will also appear with the modern 1.6L Multijet engine, already seen on the larger Fiat Bravo. A 120hp version with common rail FPT will also be available.

The Sport model is set to be equipped with this engine, which will replace the 1.9L, 130hp top-range diesel, as part of the aim of progressively downsizing all engine models.

The 1.6 Multijet on the Punto will have up to 320Nm and will push the little Fiat to a maximum speed of 193 km/hr. It’s fuel efficiency is impressive for such figures, with only 4.8 litres of diesel consumed per 100 km, according to the company. With these numbers, the engine is certainly a more modern version than the 1.9L.

The Grande Punto 1.6 Multijet will have a different look, quite decisive, with 17-inch wheels and some aerodynamic touches. Internal features will be good with MP3 radio, steering wheel controls and the Blue&Me system.
