Fiat, the Italian auto manufacturer, is making drastic efforts for upgrading its cars to refresh its model line-up. After carving a niche for Linea, a sedan, the company is working on its premium hatchback, Punto to provide the car with a new look and a host innovative features. The revamped version of Punto was spotted when the car was on its test runs in Brazil.
Brazil's car market is growing at a fast pace and it is anticipated that the facelifted version of Punto will be put to sale on sale there by July 2012. According the images captured, it was found that the revamped version of the model incorporates redesigned headlights and bumpers with sharp and focussed fog lights. Exteriors of the revamped model are provided with flowing lines that add to its charismatic looks and appealing nature. Reportedly, the side profile of the new Fiat Punto is not upgraded to a higher level; however, the incorporation of new alloy wheels enhances the overall appearance of model. Such enhancements make the vehicle look sportier and add elegance to it.
The designing language used in the bumpers and taillights at rear end replicates the pattern used in front fascia of the 2013 Punto. Besides, the interiors of the revamped model also have a refreshed look which makes the car more appealing. The 2013 edition of Fiat Punto will boast of some new features, which include new vents for air conditioner on redesigned dashboard. Major changes were spotted in the central console and instrument cluster of the car, which will surely create a difference between the upcoming and current version of Punto.
Images of the new Punto reveal that the facelifted version of the car has lost the conventional designing philosophy and looks more stylish and appealing. Reportedly, the facelifted version of Fiat Punto will be provided with three driving modes, namely Normal, Sports and Economy. In Economy driving mode of Punto will enable the engine to deliver unmatched mileage, whereas its Sports mode will mainly contribute towards delivering improved performance. It is expected that the Indian division of Fiat will introduce this revamped version of Punto around next year, though nothing is confirmed.
