Pricing for the Model Year 2012 Fiat
Punto has just been announced by Fiat Group Automobiles UK.
And with a starting price of just
£9,990 OTR for the Pop 1.2 8-valve, the new car, which goes on sale
in the UK this month (January), represents outstanding value for
money.
At the top end of the revised Punto
range, the highly specified Lounge 1.3 MultiJet version, which costs
£15,600 OTR, features automatic dual zone climate control, leather
steering wheel, front fog lamps, seven airbags, cruise control,
ambient interior lighting and electric sunroof as standard.
Available initially with a choice
of six low emissions Euro 5 engines – and with a TwinAir version
coming in April – all fitted with Start&Stop as standard, the new
Punto comes in a more simplified line-up of three main levels,
similar to the Fiat 500 and forthcoming new Panda – Pop (base), Easy
(mid) and Lounge (high).
Added to these are a sports version
based on the Easy level grade called GBT, which will lead the
advertising campaign developing within the sports association
between Fiat UK and British Cycling.
The big news for new Punto is the
addition of two new engines – an 85hp version of the MultiJet diesel
engine and the acclaimed Engine of the Year 85hp TwinAir.
The full list will comprise: 1.2 8-valve petrol (69hp), 1.4 8-valve
petrol (77hp), 1.4 16-valve MultiAir petrol (105hp and 135hp),
TwinAir 0.9-litre petrol (85hp) and 1.3 16-valve MultiJet diesel
(75hp and 85hp).
The evolution of the Punto range
includes external styling changes incorporating fully colour coded
front and rear bumpers for a more sophisticated look, while three
new exterior colours are introduced: Brit Pop Blue, Tango Red and
Underground Grey.
Inside, new sportier seat fabrics
and refreshed dashboard inserts identify the new car, along with a
revised specification to provide a more defined spread of choice for
customers and a more focused selection of options.
Standard equipment in the
entry-level Pop model includes remote central locking, electric
front windows, driver and passenger airbags, window airbags,
radio/CD/MP3 player, electric power steering and height-adjustable
driver seat.
Easy trim level adds such equipment
as leather steering wheel, 15-inch alloy wheels, and air
conditioning, GBT level additionally gets sport suspension, rear
spoiler and side skirts, while Lounge adds climate control, front
fog lamps, cruise control, ambient interior lighting and electric
sunroof.
“The Punto range has been – and
still is – an important car in the Fiat line-up, and we’re delighted
now to be able to reveal prices of this latest evolution,” says
Elena Bernardelli, marketing director, Fiat Group Automobiles UK.
“Punto is up against some tough
competition in its sector but we are confident that we are able to
offer an attractive package at exceptional value-for-money prices to
keep it a viable and desirable proposition.”
