19.05.2006 The two millionth Palio has been produced in the Fiat Automòveis factory at Betim in Brazil

The two millionth Fiat Palio has been produced in the Fiat Automòveis factory located at Betim in Brazil. The model to notch up this significant production milestone as it rolled off the assembly lines at Betim was a Palio ELX 1.4 and it also belongs to the special “30 year” series with which Fiat Automòveis - the successful Brazilian arm of the Fiat Auto Division - is celebrating the three decades of car making of the Brazilian plant.

This is an important achievement for a model that began to gain world public and critical acclaim right from its launch under the title of the 'World Car' project. The result of the modernity of the whole 178 immediately brought new standards to the segment and made it a benchmark for safety, performance, styling, quality, equipment and advantageous price/content ratio. Last year the whole Palio model range was facelifted by Fiat Automòveis, the new version immediately identifiable by its larger wrap-around headlights and new grille.
