The new
Fiat linea has finally arrived with a big bang. The car is all set to write history. The car comes with a bundle of features. The launch of the Fiat Linea is considered to be the most significant launch for this car manufacturer. It represents the comeback of Fiat to India. In the global car industry Linea is not a stranger, but in India it makes a grand new entry.
Tata Motors holds an excellent opportunity to market the elite Linea due to its recent business partnership with Fiat.
The Fiat Linea not only makes a style statement but also makes a power statement, delivering outstanding performance and impressive mileage. The car is available in six variants with two impressive forms, advanced multi-jet diesel engine and FIRE petrol engine. Active, Emotion, and Dynamic are the three variants that are available in both diesel and petrol.
Fiat Linea was first launched in Turkey in 2007 where this scintillating car received an overwhelming response. Its entry to India is also associated with the same degree of passion, enthusiasm, and determination to succeed. This new car is a perfect amalgam of beauty, elegance, and outstanding performance along with versatile functionalities. With high aspiration, Fiat is sure that this car will spark a new revolution in its segment and challenge the success of mid-sized sedans like the Honda City, Ford Fiesta, Maruti Suzuki SX4, and Hyundai Verna.
The petrol variants are powered by a revolutionary 1.4-litre FIRE engine that generates 89 bhp at 6000 rpm and a torque of 115 Nm at 4500 rpm. FIRE or 'Fully Integrated Robotized Engine' is an engine that is constructed by robot assembly plants for cost reduction, while delivering high torque and power.
The diesel variants are powered by a 1.3-litre advanced multi-jet engine mated to a Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) that churns out 85 bhp at 4000 rpm and a torque of 203 Nm at 2500 rpm. The multi-jet engine in the Linea is the next-generation engine designed by Fiat to have greater control over the car's internal combustion process. This, in turn, provides a smoother ride, improved responsiveness, lower emissions, and exceptionally high fuel efficiency.
With a high degree of automotive engineering, the new Linea has an amazing acceleration and braking capacity. The car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 15.6 seconds whereas while braking it comes to a standstill from 80 km/h in just 2.38 seconds moving a distance of only 25.68 metres. Fiat has to struggle hard to make its survival in the highly competitive market. The design of the car is sporty and attractive.
These highly efficient engines are coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission and a hydraulic power steering, which provide excellent drivability and great steering control. Furthermore, the efficient suspension system guards the car on the toughest of Indian roads giving a safe and accurate drive experience. The front suspension comprising of independent wheel and the rear suspension with torsion beam are both associated with helical coil springs, double acting telescopic dampers, and stabilizer bar to beat bumps and potholes, exponentially improving ride quality.
To what extent the car performs in the market is yet to be seen. The initial reports of the car are however good.
