A CAR FOR EVERY REQUIREMENT

It is no exaggeration to say that everyone can find the New Fiat Punto that best meets their needs and tastes. The new model range is also one of the most diverse and comprehensive ranges in its segment. 

Customers can choose from more than 40 versions: 

- two cars with 3 and 5 doors; 
- eight engines (1.2 8v - 1.2 16v - 1.4 16v - 1.8 16v - 1.3 Multijet - 1.9 Multijet - 1.9 JTD - 1.2 8v running on petrol and methane); 
- two manual gearboxes (one five-speed and one six-speed); 
- an automatic and sequential Speedgear transmission; 
- a Dualogic transmission with sequential automatic operation or automatic operation in Economy mode; 
- eight specifications (Actual, Active, Sound, Dynamic, Class, Emotion, Sporting, HGT); 
- 13 body colours, for each of which two different interior trim shades are normally available. 

All in all, a range that offers everyone their ideal vehicle with all the devices that are currently available for a car. Even those that were, until recently, reserved for cars of higher segments. The extremely high number of possibilities is borne out by the fact that the same specification can come with different standard equipment items according to the destination market. 

Very far from being a utilitarian mini, the New Punto Active offers all the most desirable options in this market band as standard: Dualdrive electric power steering, front airbags for driver and passenger, central locking and electric windows. The Actual version is available for those who seek an outstanding car that is even more financially accessible. 

The New Punto Sound is aimed particularly at the young: a 3-door car with sporty style and interiors, plus a Blaupunkt sound system with six speakers. This is followed by the Dynamic specification that adds height-adjustable steering wheel and driver's seat plus a split rear seat. 

The Class and Emotion versions compete on a par with the best equipped competitors in the segment: the former offers an automatic climate control system with pollen filter as standard and also parking and rain sensors. The latter comes with foglights, automatic dual zone climate control system and radio with CD player. 

Customers seeking the most in terms of performance and equipment can choose the Punto HGT (1.8 130 bhp and 1.9 Multijet 100 bhp) and the New Punto Sporting; the latter is one of the few sporty compact cars to be fitted with an 85 bhp 1.9 JTD turbodiesel and a 95 bhp 1.4 petrol unit. Both specifications offer equipment at the top of their category: automatic dual zone climate control system with pollen filter, double airbag on the Sporting and 6 airbags on the HGT. The HGT also comes with 15" alloy wheels and a Hi-Fi sound system with CD and MP3 file player with six speakers and 100-Watt subwoofer. 

The New Fiat Punto range is completed by the Natural Power that offers as standard Dualdrive power steering, ABS and body-coloured bumpers. The new model adds some very attractive options to this wealth of equipment: examples include satellite navigation, ESP antislip system, Cruise Control and CONNECT.
