    2012 Fiat Punto launches in the UK
    The 2012 Fiat Punto

     

    The Punto is a very important model for Fiat in Europe, and as such it offers the best Fiat can at the price. The 2012 model has been launched, and it offers a styling update, new paint shades, and new colours and materials on the inside. All models now get daytime running lamps, and the Blue&Me Bluetooth system is an option on all models as well. 

    The really interesting bit is that about the engines: the TwinAir Turbo engine makes its debut in the Punto, which claims to have the performance of a four-cylinder engine but the fuel economy of a twin-cylinder engine. It produces 85bhp and 145Nm, and an ‘Eco’ button on the dash reduces torque output to 110Nm for better fuel efficiency. There is also a pair of 1.4-litre petrol engines with MultiAir technology, with power outputs of 105bhp and 135bhp – the latter, with the help of a turbocharger. It reaches 100kmph in just 8.5 seconds. 

    The familiar MultiJet engine produces either 85bhp or 75bhp, with the help of a variable vane or fixed geometry turbocharger.  They feature an intelligent alternator that recharges the battery only when there is no load on the engine, and a Start/Stop system. The common-rail injection system also has been upgraded, with up to eight injections possible per cycle. The 85bhp variant has a very impressive 200Nm of torque as a result of all this.  

    There is a host of other technology present on the EU-spec Punto, including electric power steering, cornering lamps, and ABS with ESP. We don't expect the entire raft of technology to make it to the Indian version, but we'd certainly like to see those tasty alloy wheels make an appearance here at the very least!
