Key Features of the all-new Fiat Tipo
The all-new Fiat Tipo features a host of features to be the envy of any utilitarian feature-seeker! The Tipo boasts great versatility, with a 420-litre boot in the hatchback and a 520-litre boot in the estate. To bolster the Tipo’s versatility, Fiat have also boasted “class-leading legroom”, with enough room in the back to comfortably fit three 6ft tall people.
The Fiat Tipo has been dubbed “best-in-class” for storage, featuring three different trim levels. It’s been reported that all entry-level Tipo vehicles come with air-conditioning, DAB radio, bluetooth and electric mirrors, however UK specifications haven’t been fully confirmed.
Engine Options
The Fiat Tipo will be available with a 1.4 litre petrol engine with a 6-speed gearbox, and a turbo (119bhp) or without a turbo (94bhp). A 1.6 litre petrol will be available as an automatic. To compliment the petrol line-up, two diesels will be offered, a 5-speed 1.3 litre (94bhp) and a 6-speed 1.6 litre (118bhp).
