Fiat Avventura User Reviews

My father bought the car. Its a very durable car can drive into potholes and holes without issues. Any other in this price range cannot do it. Only downside is the fiat tag. The engine is same as that one in Maruti cars. But thing is Avventura is heavier and very sturdy built. So efficiency us 10% -15 lower. But understand safety comes at a price..

Exterior Eextremely beautiful than other compact suv, mpv, luv etc....(my openion). Rear spare wheel looks funky, stunning functional roof rails, 205 mm ground clearance is superior in bad roads. Overall looks totally european segment.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Well thought-out ambient lighting, the dual tone dashboard , rear ac vents. High-terrain gauges like the horizontal and vertical Inclinometers and compass.

Audio system volume control that adjusts itself according to the engine noise. Automatic headlamps.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Same 1.3 l mjd engine use but little change in tuning, remap the ecu it results the turbo lag is short i think turbo kiks @ 1500 rpm. after that multijet is a diesel rocket.

Agar sahi kaha jaaye toh multi jet engine ki jaan hi VGT hai. yekeen maano mjd ki top speed bhi dusro se zyaada hi hai, i drive the linea @ 185 kmph with total confidance (because of its hydraulic steering) at yamuna expressway us samay koi bhi dusri car overtake nahi kar paayi thi.

After all the result was 18 kmpl overall. yes it is true. Gearbox is bit rubbery but smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent as well as brillient like abarth.

Final Words Beautiful and practical product at very normal price.

Areas of improvement Rear seat headroom for tall passengers.

I took the delivery of Fiat Avventura diesel emotion on 2nd Feb 2015 from Oberoi Fiat Noida. Sales people were too friendly but did not provide a discount of a single penny though the make of the car was of 2014. Now its almost more than 2 months and the dealer has not provided the registration number. I try calling the dealership but they don't answer the calls most of the times.

They give false promises but they have not provided the registration number. I have filed a complaint with the Fiat custome service as well as dropped numerous mails to fiat india but they are least bothered. So think twice before making a choice.

As far as the car is concerned people are bound to give it a second look. Great to drive on Highways and at speeds above 80 km/hr. Good performance on bad and broken roads. Tried driving it at 140 km/hr and the car was stable enough.

Tried a max spped of 180 km/hr on the Yamuna expressway. All in all you would love to drive it at higher speeds. Though the ground clearance is 205 mm but still the you feel confident enough on the corners at higher speed.

Amit Singh.

Looks and stylingVery bad experience with the sales and service.

We are in search of a new car in 2016. Test driven many cars and shortlisted Tata Zest and Fiat Punto/ Linea The build quality was the prime factor. We had 2 palios earlier a 1.9 D and 1.2 nv, so never let our ears for unnecessary criticisms on fiat cars. When we reached the showroom the executive requested me to take a test drive of an Avventura. Though a bit hesitant at first, drive a few kilometers to feel the power and security. All priorities sidelined and booked Avventura multiget active which was ready at the showroom for delivery. After completing formalities took delivery by the third day, our pride Red CUV. I have been driving this by the last 2.5 years and completed 37000 happy kilometers most of the time with ac. With few occassional sharing with my sons for very few kilometers. Super handling, extremely comfortable seats, very good good ground clearance, excellent mileage. All the more never fatigued. Two services and one full body polish done in between. No worries. We are very happy with our choice every time we get in and shut the door "thud" the feedback of security.

Exterio Awesome, I have Exotica Red. Whenever i am taking my car on road, it is attracting almost every second person.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Number of features, Space is good enough and comfortable for driver as well as for passengers.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have Diesel variant. Engine Performance is good and after 1500 RPM or as soon as Turbo boosts speed boosts up like rocket. Gearbox is example of high-end engraining, Very easy and smooth shifting.

Ride Quality & Handling Before purchasing Avventura, I had checked number of other cars in this segment but found Avventura best. You will not found head rolling problem in this car which is present on almost all other cars.

If you are planning to get car, get this car and enjoy your life. I am already enjoying it J.

Areas of improvement Rear Parking Sensors and camera.

Ride and handalingStill searching

Exterior  

Looks awesome, More stylish, can improve in adding projector headlamps, Very high ground clearence which makes to roll around bumpy roads, good suspension supports it. Fiat is well known for their rigid cars, this is also a solid car.

i miss reverse parking sensors, 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) good amount of space, gives a superb riding quality, sporty instrumentation, adventure guages looks good. interior quality is very good,

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

naughty gearbox requires frequent gear shiting it makes us sporty, performance is good, handling is excellent, at round corners with higher speed turns perfectly, steering obeys very sharp. 

Very efficient breaking with ABS and EBD. coming to fuel efficiency at city it gives avg 17km/l and at highway it gives 23km/l

 

Final Words

Its great worthy for money, dont compare it with Hyundai active I20, Avventura is more faraway from it. It suitable to compare with Ford Ecosport but for Ecosport you need to pay another 2lacs more.

This car is a real crossover. perfectly suitable for Indian roads.

Exterior Stylish.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Enjoyable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox No complaints.

Ride Quality & Handling Very nice. There is one great problem the audiosystems are very very poor near to non functioning and the general service is abysmal very very very bad, just for that Iwill never buy another Fiat ! Our service station is Ramkaye Service. We have owned the car for one year and complained about this issue for one year !! It is till date not resolved.

It took two months to get mudflap spare for fron driver side and about six lies at end we found the spare had not even been ordered!

As service provides better enjoyment of the car and the audiosystem is an integral part of the driving experience this has not been a great purchase. The bluetooth facility was bought as a safety feature and has proven to be a stressfull item as voice recognition does not work for any local names and for few english ones....even the service staff sat in standing car yelling at microphone with no result. The regional service manager copied and pasted the user manual to us ! And that is the sum total till date of service we received on an item priced at 60,000 INR in showroom!

Areas of improvement Just provide service and trained staff!

stylish nice drive comfortable long hauls fuel consumption goodblue and me does not work, voice recognition absent , receiver radio is very bad

An awesome machine that will make you so proud and excited at the same time! It crosses 100 Kmph in under 10 seconds and reaches 180-190 Kmph very quickly. On the highways, it feels like it can defeat any car! Seriously! :)

It just gallops the road with so much ease. Yes it consumes a lot of fuel. I have been driving my abarth avventura for last 1 year and I get 9 Kmpl in city and around 12-13 Kmpl on highway. But is worth it for the extra punch you get when you are on road. I love driving and go out on road trips often and this car has not disappointed till now!

I have driven 14K kilometers in 11 months and have driven it on highways, hills, and have even done mild offroading. It surely will surprise you with the way it drives with so much ease everywhere! Very comfortable seats surprisingly. I know it because I have driven 8 hours continuously without tiring myself! Go for it! :)

Awesome power and comfortMileage

The best part about all that suspension retuning is that the Avventura is friendlier on bad roads now. Not that the ground clearance was ever an issue with the Punto Evo, but more is always better when it comes to that, especially in India. It has been increased to 205mm, 10mm up on the Punto. And that’s as good as a lot of full-fledged SUVs in the market.

To keep the body roll and pitch in check with the added clearance, the engineers have tightened the suspension a bit. But unfortunately, there’s still a fair bit of roll even with the suspension tweaks in place. The Punto Evo runs on chunky high-profile rubber, but this one gets slightly lower-profile tyres. The ride, just like the Punto’s, remains sublime. It swallows potholes with utter ease, without making any disconcerting noises while going over battered surfaces.

On the looks front, the biggest highlight of the Avventura is the tailgate-mounted spare wheel. Fiat thinks it makes it look more like a SUV. We’re not entirely sure if it does, but it certainly gives it an unmistakable look.

The front bumper gets a complete makeover, and now sports a brushed aluminium finish, and a few more touches to add to the rugged look. At the sides, things are largely untouched, barring the plastic cladding (a must for every little crossover) and a huge ‘Avventura’ badge on the front doors. At the back, the spare wheel is mounted on a hinge, and swings out horizontally, while the hatch opens vertically, much like a regular hatch. This makes accessing the boot an unnecessarily time-consuming affair.

Inside, the dashboard too has been revised – there’s a dual-tone finish on the dash, and the centre console houses the inclinometer that we told you about earlier. The seats are a mix of faux leather and fabric. They look neat, and they’re quite comfortable, too. The Avventura will be available with both petrol and diesel engine options. The petrol is the 1.4-litre unit, and the one we drove was the 1.3-litre MultiJet diesel block. There’s no 74bhp option, as this motor, in the Avventura, comes only with a variable geometry turbocharger that helps it churn out 89bhp.

Despite the tweaks, there’s still plenty of turbo lag at the bottom end of the rev range, and the turbo kicks in only after the needle passes the 2,000rpm mark. Fiat makes this engine, and lends it to several other manufacturers in the country. But surprisingly, some other manufacturers like Maruti have been able to tune this engine better than Fiat in terms of power delivery.

The numbers

4cyl, 1368cc (Petrol)/1248cc (Diesel), 92bhp/89bhp, 115Nm/200Nm, 5M, FWD, fuel tank: 45 litres, Rs 6.14 lakh - 8.41 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai).

The verdict
Fits the bill if you want a compact car that can handle your weekend getaways, too.

Excellent carNA
