New Fiat Uno


As it was already introduced in the last post, Fiat recently announced the totally-redesigned Uno model for the Brazilian market. Now, this post highlights the regular versions, its specs and its prices.

The above model is the Vivace. It is the simplest in the range. It has black front-and-rear bumpers, and black doorhandles and side mirrors. This version has 13" wheels, and Fiat believes it will be the top-selling version of the Uno range. Tis version starts at R$25'500 for the two-door, and R$27'350 for the four-door, and both come with a 1.0 liter engine.

This yellow model is the Attractive version. It is the top-of-the-range non-"adventurous" model. It comes with 14" wheels, many storage compartments, including on the car's doors and on the car's central console. All bumpers, doorhandles and side mirrors are painted in the body color, and prices start from R$29'280 for the two-door and R$ 31'080 for the four-door. This trim level is only available with a 1.4 liter engine.

Finally, this is the Way version. It is the "adventurous" trim level of the Uno. It comes standard with off-road "accessories," such as the black bumpers, black mudguards and black roof rails. The interior has special fabrics on the seats, and the standard equipment is the same as the Attractive model. This trim level is the only one in which the buyer can have an engine choice, either the 1.0 or the 1.4 liter engines. The prices for the two-doors start from R$26'690 for the 1.0 and R$30'070 for the 1.4, and the four-doors start from R$28'490 for the 1.0 and R$31'870 for the 1.4.

The picture above is the interior of all the trim levels. The appearance only varies depending on the options the person chooses, which vary from power windows to air-bags. The buyer may also choose visual accessories, such as stickers, wheels and dashboard colors.

André's opinion

I went to a dealer to see this car, and I think it has everything to be a best-seller. It has plenty of room on the inside, and it is compact enough to fit into almost any parking space. In addition, the accessories the person may equip the car with allow them to build an unique car. This has everything to be a best seller, and the best of all, it's cheap!
