Fiat Launches Linea
Â
Fiat Linea
Fiat has launched its midsize competitor, Linea is the Indian market. The car comes in petrol and diesel version right from the outset. The petrol is a 1.4 Litre twin cam unit while the diesel is the acclaimed multijet with the added benefit of a VGT (Variable Geometry Turbocharger).
Commenting the launch, Fiat India’s CEO, Rajiv Kapoor said “Fiat has kept its promise of making this an exciting year for its customers. The launch of the Linea is the first in the line of three launches that Fiat will undertake this year, the other two being Bravo and Grande Punto. With this car which is equipped with multijet and the fire engine, we hope to make inroads in the C+ segment. We have also ensured that the Linea appeals to a wide range of customers with its petrol and diesel variants and the various options available under each of them. The car has met with strong success across the world and although Linea has been designed with a strong Italian style, we have also taken into consideration local Indian tastes and requirements and have incorporated this into the Indian Linea”
The car will be manufactured at Fiat’s brand new Ranjangaon facility near Pune where Palio and Indica Vista are also being manufactured. This is the first all new launch from Fiat after a gap of around 5 years.
The Linea is available in four colors - Flamenco Red, Minimal Grey, Parla Champagne and Hip Hop Black.
