This premium luxury hatch from Fiat features an aggressive Italian modern design which is a step ahead of other cars in its segment. The interiors are sporty and are of high quality, with sufficient space for both front and rear passengers. There are two petrol engines available and two diesel engines, all of which provide a comfortable and refined driving experience.
Design & Styling
The Fiat Punto Evo is the best looking car in segment, because it has a unique and sporty design that is synonymous with Italian small hatches. The long front section and the straight edges along its mid-section together with the curves at the rear give it a very distinct presence. The front grille has been redisgned and so have the headlamps. There are also stylish fog lamps and the wheels are alloys. Overall the car looks very good and gets plenty of chrome as well.

Interiors
The new interiors look very sporty and stylish. There is a dual tone finish and nice fabric seats that are very comfortable. There is plenty of space for the front passengers and they also get sporty seats. The rear passengers also get decent space, but legroom is still not the best. The best thing about the interiors is the quality and the design of the dashboard. The overall quality of the cabin is very good, and the dashboard and instrument cluster, as well as the steering wheels is setup in a sporty tone.
Engine & Transmission
The Fiat Punto Evo gets a 1.3 litre diesel unit that comes with two power outputs, one is a 78bhp output, while the other is a more powerful version with 90bhp. There is also a 1.2 litre petrol engine with 67bhp and the 1.4 litre petrol with 90bhp. All engines are mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.
Performance and Handling
The driving dyanmics of the Punto Evo are very good. The steering is direct, the transmission is smooth, and the suspension is just right, however the only problem is that most of the varints are underpowered. The only engine spec that does justice to the car is the 1.3 litre Multijet diesel engine with 90bhp and 209Nm of torque. This variant offers great acceleration and decent throttle response because there is a little lag. If you are a person who likes to drive cars then you definitely want to go for this variant as the other variants will really irritate you while driving in the city or even the highway. The 90bhp petrol variant is also decent but it lags enough torque for you to enjoy. The overall performance of the car is decent but it lacks excitement without the power.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel economy of the Fiat Punto Evo ranges from 12kmpl to 19kmpl, depending on the engine variant.
Features
It features power steering, tilt steering, central locking, front and rear power windows, air conditioning with climate control, tachometer and tripmeter, front fog lamps, real time mileage indicator, remote keyless entry and there is also a CD/MP3 audios system with steering mounted controls and blue tooth capability.
Safety
For added safety it comes with ABS with EBD, dual airbags and early crash sensors.
Quality & Reliability
The reliability of its parts are sometimes questionable, but overall the car performs well and serves its purpose as a good city mobility solution. It also has the advantage of having Tata Motors catering its customers for parts and servicing.
Value for Money
It doesn’t have the best value for money because it is priced on the higher side and it doesn’t have the best performing engine.
Verdict
Although this is the best looking car and has the best interiors and an engaging drive, the problem si that it still doesn’t have the best power to back it up.
