This is what Fiat claims is the new Punto. It has new engines, new transmissions, new styling, revised interiors, an enhanced specification and small revisions to the chassis.
Three brand-new engines will be available: a 1.3 litre 16-valve 70 bhp Multijet common rail direct injection turbo diesel, a powerful Multijet 1.9 litre 100 bhp turbo diesel, and a new FIRE 1.4 litre 16-valve 95 bhp petrol engine. Four further engines complete new Punto's seven power plant range; revised 60 and 80 bhp versions of the FIRE 1.2 litre 8 and 16-valve petrol units, a 130 bhp 16-valve 1.8 litre petrol engine, and a 85 bhp 1.9 litre JTD Unijet common rail direct injection turbo diesel.
Along with this range are 6-speed and 5-speed manual gearboxes, as well as a choice of two clutchless transmissions: Speedgear is a CVT automatic transmission with selectable, 6-speed sequential mode. Dualogic is a clutchless, 5-speed sequential transmission with manual shift and two selectable fully automatic modes. I don't really understand either of them.
The latest Punto can be identified by a new front end, which features large headlamps and an air dam housing new foglights. This is the same for 3 and 5-door models.
