Fiat Automóveis is trying to position the Palio Weekend versions for the requirements of different consumers. The Attractive and Trekking levels focus on interior space, trunk space, practicality and family characteristics, while the Adventure version, in addition to meeting these requirements, incorporates sturdiness, a sporty feel and adventure aspects. It is higher from the ground, has a heavy-duty suspension, is shod with mixed use tyres, gives the appearance of robustness and strength, and finally, attributes that aim to guarantee light off road fun.

It is by keeping to this broad concept that the facelifted Palio Weekend has now received a series of new additions. With a range that includes four versions (Attractive, Trekking, Adventure and Adventure Dualogic) and three engine options: Fire 1.4 Flex (85 hp w/gasoline and 86 hp w/ethanol), E-torQ 1.6 16V (115 hp w/gasoline and 117 hp w/ethanol), and the most powerful, the E-Torq 1.8 16V (130 hp w/gasoline and 132 hp w/ethanol), the range has received significant external and internal visual changes.

The new front end design is also part of a regular change of "family" looks by Fiat Brazil, and its platform sisters, the Strada and last-generation Siena, have also got a matching makeover. With a more modern and elegant as well as more robust look in the case of the Palio Adventure, that comes matched with new alloy wheels which can optionally come in 16 inch rims shod with tyres for urban use. The interior also gets some changes to offers better comfort and functionality. Improvements include changes to the central dashboard, which gets new air vents, some electronic equipment improvements, and revised storage compartments on the doors that now feature a bottle-holder, sunglasses and magazine compartment, new steering wheel, new foot rest for the driver and new key remote control for the Trekking and Adventure versions.

Each version of the Palio Weekend gets a different finish for the now revised instruments panel, all with the following equipment: speedometer, rev counter, temperature gauge, digital display that combines clock, trip computer, My Car Fiat, and fuel gauge.

The facelifted Palio Weekend also receives upgrades to the seats and doors with the adoption of new fabrics and an improvement to the functionality of the height and longitudinal adjustment. 

The new three-spoke steering wheel features controls for the sound system and butterfly switches to shift gears when the version comes equipped with the Dualogic transmission. The revised model can also be equipped with CD/MP3 Radio or Radio CD/MP3-Connect sound system with USB port and Bluetooth connection to the phone. Another detail on the restyled Palio Weekend line is the presence as standard of the HSD (High Safety Drive) pack which comprises of front air bags and ABS brakes with EBD across all versions.

In addition to HSD, the facelifted Palio Weekend also offers content that emphasises comfort, convenience and safety. The Attractive version, which features the Fire 1.4 engine, has the door handles, side mirrors, bumpers, side and rear skirts and rear wing finished in the body colour of the vehicle. Standard features include speed limit alerts, scheduled maintenance, Trip Computer (distance, average consumption, instant consumption, range, average speed and travel time), internal command to open the trunk lid and fuel tank, power steering and follow-me-home lights. The list of options include longitudinal roof bars, air-conditioning, rear power windows with one touch and anticrush function, split rear seat and steering wheel with radio control.
