Fiat India has revealed the limited edition Punto Karbon and Linea Royale in India. The limited editions come with a few cosmetic changes on the exteriors and on the interiors. There are no changes on the mechanical front as well as on the equipment list on both the vehicles.
Fiat Punto Karbon
The limited edition Fiat Punto Karbon comes with new all-black interiors and body graphics on the outside. The exteriors get a blacked out roof, dark alloys and sporty graphics with Karbon badging. While the interiors get leatherette covers with sporty patterns.
Fiat Linea Royale
On the other hand, the Fiat Linea Royale comes with black roof as well and black alloys along with Royale badges on the outside. The interiors get a dual tone black and orange theme with the seats getting diamond stitching. The limited edition vehicles are available on select variants only.
The Punto and the Linea continue to be powered by the same set of engines as in the current cars. The 1.3-litre MultiJet diesel engine produces 93 PS and 209 Nm of torque in both the cars. On the other hand, the 1.4-litre FIRE petrol engine in the Punto produces 68 PS and 96 Nm of torque. The 1.4-litre petrol engine in the Linea is available in two states of tune, 90 PS & 115 Nm and 125 PS & 208 Nm in the T-Jet variant.
Fiat India needs to launch new cars in the Indian market. The Punto and the Linea have been in the Indian market for quite a long time. The competitors have moved on newer and better cars. It’s true that enthusiasts still swear by the handling of Fiat cars. But, they really need to step up their game and launch new models in the country if they want to improve the presence of their brand in the market.
