Facelifted Fiat Punto

The Fiat Punto has been given a minor facelift and some new engines to try and keep it competitive.

The name has returned to plain old "Punto" – the title "Punto Evo" has been dropped, possibly because everyone ignored the "Evo" bit anyway. There will be five trim levels, Pop, Easy, Lounge, GBT and TwinAir. The Pop version has a trip computer, remote central locking, six airbags, radio, CD and MP3 player, rear head restraints and ABS anti-lock braking. The Easy version will be the big seller and features body-coloured door handles and mirrors, remote control door locking, a 60:40 split fold rear bench, heated mirrors and manual air-conditioning. The range-topping Lounge gets sports seats, climate control, cruise control, white ambient light on the dash and front fog lights.
