New Fiat Punto Pop launched

While maintaining the Fiat Punto’s instantly recog­ni­sable and dynamic shape, the new 2012 model, now in its sixth series and referred to as the Fiat Punto Pop, is even more elegant and characterful thanks to a host of detail changes, inside and out.

Available with either three or five doors, the new Punto features a wider range of engines, more equipment, and more choice of specification than ever before.

This enables it to meet buyers’ ever more demanding requirements for smaller, more environmentally friendly cars that are affordable to run, easy to live with, yet still chic, safe, comfortable and fun to drive.

The new Punto comes in five trim levels: Pop, Easy, Lounge and the new GBT and Twin Air.

“The new 2012 Fiat Punto builds on the Italian company’s heritage of producing mould-breaking, class-leading small cars,” said Francesca Mamo, managing director of Pater Group, owners and distributors of the Fiat brand in Malta.

Aimed at the most competitive and dynamic sector of the car market, the 2012 Punto seeks to cement its reputation as a stylish, technologically advanced supermini.

The major developments in this model include a new exterior design, a new range of exterior colours, new alloy wheel designs, new colours and materials inside, and a new engine with the ground-breaking Twin Air joining the line-up.

The five engines are Twin Air Turbo, Multi Jet 2 Turbo diesel, Multi Air petrol, 1.2-litre Fire EVO II engine and the 1.4-litre eight-valve.

The new Fiat Punto starting price for the 1.2 petrol version in Pop specification level is €11,637.

The new Punto is available for viewing at the Fiat showroom in Psaila Street, Birkirkara.
