Fiat will sell the Bravo with the 1.9 JTD engine which delivers a substantial 148bhp. With so much power, the Fiat’s ability to rapidly cover ground is astonishing.
The strong kick from the turbo-diesel propels you to speeds that are ludicrous on Indian roads but we aren’t complaining. This engine however has a narrow power band and power delivery isn’t seamless. Up to 2000rpm it is pretty feisty but beyond that mark all hell breaks loose for another 2000rpm, at which point power rapidly tails off. In the mixed traffic conditions we face, it’s an effort to keep the engine on the boil but the slick gearbox makes the job easier.
The Bravo’s interiors are enormously impressive. It’s stylish, well built and has lots of neat touches like the sporty-looking analogue dials and the built-in USB port. But if you’re thinking of being chauffeur-driven in this one, think again. The rear seat cushion is too low and the narrow windows and thick C-pillar make the rear seat feel gloomy. This is a car meant to be driven.

Fiat re-entered India as a strong brand. As Fait do have a pipeline of cars to be launched in India .Fiat 500 also known as Cinquecento will be seen on the India roads very soon. Fiat 500 from small car segment will definitely be a hit
