From the sleek, assertive styling to its purposeful stance, the Grande Punto oozes refinement and controlled energy. Measuring over 4m, the Grande Punto is the biggest car in its class. The range of petrol engines starts with the incredibly fuel-efficient and perky 65 bhp 1.2. There are 2 additional petrol engines, 3 Diesel engines and 3 trim levels to choose from.

5 Star Safety
With 15,000 hours of calculations and hundreds of component and crash tests, we’ve made safety a top priority on the Grande Punto. Active safety features include ABS + EBD, as well as ESP (electronic stability control) incorporating ASR/MSR/HBA and Hill Holder (standard on the 1.9 MultiJet engine). Passive safety equipment includes two dual-stage front airbags, side and window airbags (six airbags are standard on all versions except Active, which has two), an energy-absorbing body shell and safety belts with pre-tensioners and load limiters. We’ve also included a safety belt attachment sensor and a de-activation option on the front passenger airbag. Therefore, it’s no surprise that the Grande Punto has been awarded with the 5-star Euro NCAP certificate – the highest level of recognition for car safety.

Power
Appearances can be deceptive, but not in this case. The Grande Punto is every bit as thrilling to drive as its looks promise. The range of petrol engines starts with the incredibly fuel-efficient and perky 65 bhp 1.2. Or choose the extra zip of the new 77 bhp 1.4, with variable turbulence combustion chamber. This unique system enables the engine to re-use a proportion of the exhaust gases, giving greater power and lower fuel consumption. Topping the petrol range is the nippy 1.4 16v unit which produces 95bhp.

To go with Fiat’s renowned 75 bhp 1.3 MultiJet diesel engine, we’ve added the option of the brand new 1.3 MultiJet 16v, with variable geometry turbine. This sparkling new power plant generates 90 bhp to combine exceptional performance with very low fuel consumption. And for those who only begin to enjoy themselves at 100 bhp, the Grande Punto Eleganza offers the 120bhp 1.9 MultiJet which comes with a 6-speed gearbox and variable geometry turbocharger with intercooler.

Space
It’s not just the length of the Grande Punto (over 4m) that makes it the biggest car in its class. The height-adjustable front seat, excellent access and superb visibility all contribute to the car offering the best interior space in its class too. Excellent ergonomic controls make driving a constant pleasure, while back-seat passengers will always have plenty of room to get comfortable, even with two six-footers up front. Add 275 litres of boot space, and you have a truly exceptional package.
