With the launch of the all new Fiat Grande Punto just around the corner (Feb 1st), Fiat have released the full specification and model line-up to its dealer network in time for launch.
The Punto has been the most successful Fiat ever and currently accounts for 52% of Fiat sales in the UK. So it’s vital that this be one of the most important car launches of its kind for many years – an all-new, ‘next generation’ replacement: the Grande Punto.
The Grande Punto range consists of 15 versions – 13 of which are available at launch. The 1.4 16v engine (available as Eleganza and Sporting) is not available until mid 2006.
