12.02.2003  CLOSEST LOOK SO FAR AT FIAT PUNTO B-MPV "MINIVAN" 


The Fiat Punto B-MPV is caught testing again near Turin. The company's first venture into the small MPV sector is based on the Punto saloon with a slightly lengthened wheelbase, higher ride height and roofline, allowing the Punto saloon's class-leading interior room to be improved upon. Clearly seen are the new-look indicators which stretch out below the headlamps. The front end draws from the Stilo-inspired look that the new Punto restyling will offer.

Due to make its debut at next month's Geneva Motor Show, the Punto B-MPV will be available with 1.2 and 1.6-litre petrol engines as well as the all-new 1.3 Multijet 16v common-rail diesel that is expected to offer a class leading 60mpg. Fiat's "Duodrive" system that increases power steering assistance while undertaking parking manoevers will be featured along with keyless starting.
