It is not everyday that one gets to see a superbly built, extraordinarily stylish and exceedingly agile car in the mid-sized segment. Say hello to Fiat Linea. A car that many analysts are looking at as an important introduction here, in India, as it may well be responsible for changing the fortunes of the company and bringing back Fiat its lost glory.
The Fiat Linea comes powered with a 1.3 litre (1248cc) Multijet diesel engine, the same engine that powers the Suzuki Swift (diesel) car except that it has been re-calibrated for the Linea and a1.4l petrol FIRE engine (1368cc).
In terms of looks, we assure you that the Fiat Linea will draw you in, in the very first glance and captivate you with its handsome exteriors instantly. What you see is an arresting design that on account of its clean, sensible dimensions and flowing lines will enthrall you.
Inside, the seats are comfortable and come in bright beige coloured upholstery. The doors also exhibit a blend of plastic and fabric, although we felt that the armrests could’ve used a touch of leather and the quality on both the dash and the steering could’ve been a notch higher. However, the attention to detail such asvanity mirrors with lights for both driver and passenger, steering with a great grip and audio controls mounted on it as well as an air-con vent for passengers behind definitely go on to show that a great deal of thought has gone into designing the interiors.
“Fiat has kept its promise of making this an exciting year for its customers. The launch of the Linea is the first in the line of three launches that Fiat will undertake this year, the other two being Bravo and Grande Punto,” Fiat India CEO Rajeev Kapoor said here today.
“With this car which is equipped with multijet and the fire engine, we hope to make inroads in the C+ segment,” Kapoor said.
