2014 Fiat Punto Evo | First Drive Video Review | Autocar India
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2014
- The Fiat Punto has evolved and aptly, the carmaker is calling it the Punto Evo. Fiat has given the Punto a brand new face that's exclusively styled for the Indian market, and it looks more 'Italian' than ever. We drove the 92bhp diesel "Sport" variant for this review. Fiat is yet to announce prices for the Punto Evo but we expect it to remain the same as the outgoing Grande Punto.
Pls note, we filmed this quick review in the thick of Mumbai's monsoon so the car will be wet / dry in different parts of the video.

I have completed 100000 kms on this without a fuss . Amazing piece of engineering! They don’t make cars like these anymore . Highway manners is just phenomenal. The only other car that matches its ride is the Vento , which is a segment above . Handling department , there is no other car below 15 lakhs to match this .
I had Just bought my 90hp, the 10 days of drive all I can say this is the best hatch back in INDIA on this price mark. " If you still like driving Fiat is still ahead".
+Sarath Santham can you tell me the fuel efficency of your car?
i wud like to buy one
safety by unique double striker air beg, pushing machine on heavy accident, Anti rolling sys, Fire prevention system, unique suspensions by loaded of 7 technologies, unique max most Ground clearance, top speed till 190-200 n comfortable balancing speed of 180, Piston temperature balancer, Six direction protected beams, Rotational Immobaliser sys in all variants n other safety features make this car unique that no brands hav capabilities to provide such huge unique features in any Sedan n hatchback
VALUE FOR MONEY MINI FERRARI AND GREAT REVIEW .
Once you ride a punto .. you won't own any other Hatch..
Any specific reason to mension???
that is so true... it is like a drug. once u had ur hands on punto ur finished bcz ur not gonna have anything else ever. i owns an second hand punto and i m not able to drive any other bullshit. planning to buy new 2014 punto. there is something u cant explain about punto.... it is a feeling.
Babin Praise Thankarajan Of all the cars I've tested, nothing came close to Punto in terms of driving dynamics: ride, handling and braking (talking abt the older Punto here). And for me, safety is very important and this car is built strong. I would have already bought it if not for the news about upcoming Punto :)
Babin Praise Thankarajan Handling, reliability and feeling of safety
I second that. I have always wanted Polo for more than two years, but when I test drove the Punto, nothing came close in the ride, handling, braking, suspension, sturdiness etc etc. In a matter of month, I got Punto Evo 90hp instead of the Polo I have been looking out for.
Watching this in 2021 is just fun, Indian car market has drastically change.
I have Punto old model and my cousin has Evo. The stability, ride quality, mileage is wonderful. Fiat service in Chennai is very good. When we park both cars side by side, the old design always wins the heart.
rohit r, I live in Chennai and there were no issues of spare parts. Off late Fiat is doing a great job to improve its service. I would suggest you to visit the service center in your city to know the situation.
Thanks a lot
Naresh Babu, in Chennai city I get 15.5- 16.5 kmpl. Long trips when driven around 90-100km 21-22kmpl. I have the old punto. Evo should be delivering even better
THnaks a lot man
good day!
Ride qulaity, Handling and Braking - PUNTO IS THE BEST.
Ride quality is great, build of this machine is unmatchable with other comparators also it is around 100 kg. heavier than its comparators,
My Punto has done over 1L kms and it still drives like new. Have done the recommended parts change (timing belt, etc etc.)
The handling is just mind blowing. No other car below 20-25Lakhs can even come near the punto with respect to handling/performance.
I've taken it to all kinds of terrains and still there's no squeak or any cabin noise whatsoever.
Modern day cars are just loaded with fancy electronics.
What a beauty she is! Punto and Polo are the best cars in its segment, and not just in terms of looks. It is a head AND heart decision for me. Punto will be my next car, will wait for the Avventura though :)
the new jazz is also good
umar zia Just not my thing. I never liked Hondas much. Almost always overpriced with the least build-quality and skinny tyres.
Best option for a true car lover ;)
Driving Fiat is like driving CAR!
Punto is the king of the Car's, feeling inside like a Military Thank..
italian magician again done a great job
I think its a stunner in looks department.
The design looks awesome though, on exterior and also interior!
Thanks a tone someone in this whole review care for ground clearance thanks
FIAT please come back 🥺❤️
Gorgeous automobile :)
I had punto and now punto evo...ma exp with fiat customer service is always great...and why punto for me bc i wanna drive a car not a toy in ma budgets.
Gokul i am planning to buy 1.3multijet my doubt is what about steering and gear shifting
Nice channel !
My next car...
Got it?
Nice work troops. I'm literally buying a 2014 Punto tomorrow, my first car. It's got some sweet alloy wheels, haha. :D
VBI Concepts great choice!!!👍
Should I buy a second hand punto now?
Punto is most heavy weight hatchback with strong metal body. And thatswhy it is not as quick as swift or baleno because of excess weight. But still it is fun for highway cruising though not as quick as swift in terms of drag racing. Practically nobody does drag racing in day to day driving. Punto has excellent highway high speed stability.
Hi friends, how is punto 1.2 Fire engine. Can anybody say the spec used in this engine technology
Finally some Change for the workhorse !!!!!!!!
Come on Fiat, bring in more models. Where's the panda, or perhaps the replacement of palio. And the freemont, and the jeeps and dodge
Maruti or i say suzuki doesn't tuned that much good.
.
Because if you reduce
Weight hps and put cycle like tyres in Punto definitely you will say Punto is much more peppy than even swift
Why is it that everyone overlooks reviewing petrol engines and only focus on diesel? Its kind of frustrating! Lol
Aditya M.S because diesel engines have more torque so more fun
@@Royal_5665 you must have failed mechanical engineering.
Pls suggest planning for used car .
Punto evo 2016 model 90 hp , 37k running top model at 4.5 lacs.
Polo tdi 2018 model highline 90k at 6.7 lacs.
Osm.. Great look
good car loved it.
Which place is this ? ? ?
Does the new punto evo 90hp have aluminium pedals as lik the previous punto?
The sport will.
Damn good review. We don't get it here in the US but, nonetheless very well done!
Punto Punto only Punto Nothing else
Doesn't look good in red, black and dark grey it looks awesome with all that chrome
Second hand punto 2014 modal...will I purchase or not ?
*ha ha same que, met co incidently 😅 m look for a petrol Hatchback in petrol under 3- 4 lakh top model with fully featured like remote control boot and sunroof, automatic AC etc.*
Glad to see so many FANS here..even I am one of them!
Fantastic Car..just take a test drive and the next moment you will buy it...Yes its true being a FIAT PUNTO (2011) owner this is my experience! Good thing about FIAT cars I noticed is that you never ever get bored with the CAR, even after few years of driving you sence the same freshness as new and you enjoy the drive quality...Seriously, Just take a trail!.
Fiat needs to improve its service. Period.
service improved much seems u don't own any fiat car? LOL....
satish kumar
satish kumar Absolutely! The service is actually amazing and the car is great. One needs to own one to know one!
They make me feel as though it's a luxury car.
I own Linea for 3 years now and I never had any issues with the service or spare part so far. I also own Switft (8 years) and I have not found any difference in the service between Maruti or Fiat.
I have owned a Palio for 9 years.........loved every moment of it and still love driving it.....I also own a 1.3 MJD Linea - another lovely car............wont say service has been any problem.......it is easy to stick to a tagline.....but the beauty lies in exploring the less known and enjoying the rewards.....period
A better looking Punto than the European version
That freshly accent tho.
Let me just understand this: here in Italy, Fiat launches only the 500 and 500L and all over the world they release the new Evo, the Linea, etc... ? WTF XD
nice car :)
interirors are pretty good though
mini Ferrari
anyone please suggest...(fyi I'm not a daily user... just looking a car for using occassionally ~7000 km per year)
There's a 2014 Fiat Punto 1.3 emotion for sale
Car is looking just like new... everything is crystal and clear including engine bay,single owner and odo reading is 55000 kms
The final price is 3.4 lakhs
Should I buy or not?
I was concerned about maintanence cost and milage..now and future
Also There's a 2015 celerio vdi with 800cc 2 cylinder diesel engine, single owner and Odo was 1,05,000kms,car is company maintained and service record is clear and vehicle is in very good condition and the price is ₹2.2 lakhs
Kindly suggest me a good choice pls..
I prefer the older punto eve looks.
just wow!! no comparison...
Elite i20 is better :)
Attitude is everything For features i20, to enjoy drive Punto.
If you want to drive its Punto, for everything else there are other Options :)
Excelent car, seat comfort punto gave didn't have in innova also and most of all milage company claims 21km milagecon highway but 1500rpm it give 22-23km milage.
And ground clearance more than suv Seltos....if i compare punto with small suv's not bad.
What about rear passenger seats?
for a hour or two its comfortable for 3. When its a long journey only 2 will be comfortable.
I can't afford the Lan Evo so I moved to Punto Evo
lame
Where is he driving ? Amazing place
+SARANG KOCHHAR Pune
+Javed Mulani But it looks this good only in rainy season
Shall i change the dashboard of my grande punto to the Evo if so how much will it cost me I'm from India
Abt 30
There can be good things about the new fiat punto evo but wat abt the old ones becoz
i am havin Fiat punto 1.3L multijet and i too have same problem with the ignition and the Fiat service center is also not able retify the problem,Fiat should able find the problem and retify.We can give 100 marks for the car performance but for the service ZERO.
This is the big mistake of Fiat and its not new problem they have itz been from fiat premier.Because of service the company is not able to stand in the automobile.
You can buy Ferrari here but you can't change the road condition. Can you ??
Cost
why it looks like a fiesta
x XKL4UD1OX x becausr fiesta is copied of Evo
I don't understand. One buys a hatchback for its practicality peppy engine to be able to park in tight spaces to be able zip past in stop n go traffic. If someone wants to make a style statement a hatchback whether German or Italian just won't cut it. You will need a Mercedes Porsche Audi or a beamer for that. Sadly the punto fails in the most important aspect of being a hatchback ie. Low end grunt. That's a good enough reason to stay away from it. A 3 cylinder boxy wagon r has more low end torque than punto. N that's what is needed in a congested city or uphill drive.
If it exceeds 5.5Lkhs on a fully loaded offering,
it will fail.
Period.
punto or swift ??
Fleming Winston punto
Punto Evo is best
Swift has Fiat 1.3 ddis engine
Fleming if you love to drive car best is punto otherwise go the swift but swift does not match tge drive quality and safety
HAWTTTT !!!
Nott
fiat has to work on its fuel consumption. palio had worst fuel consumption
That is a very old story...I own a punto...and has a good milage...
Cheseibrutto
The front really sucks.
The car is not that much good and still their customer service is too bad. There are so many negative on building joints and due to heavy stearing and v cut bonnet, highly difficult to ride in city. My desiel have too noise to cabin. I can give negative staring for their customer servise team from work shop level to india head office. Tooooooo bad..
Wow ugly as shit xD I own the previous model with sport pack nice 17'' rims and some other things BUT even stock it is way more beautifull then this crap ....
I had owned a second hand Punto a few years back. It was good, but not as good as a Maruti. The engine definitely lags behind. Maruti Baleno is a better car. Punto- not a driver's delight.
the front looks like a shark with mouth open...im planning to buy Volkswagen polo facelift
Never ever buy a Fiat again
K1NGD0MDOWN i never ever buy maruti, ford again only Buy Fiat i am using from 3 years not a single issue i had faced very miner like one time staring issue but due to battery change battery in warranty car in new condition my car drove 600-700 kms a day average
From Gwalior to Udaipur to Jaipur
Done 3 lacs+kms and still going strong
Mileage is also awesome more good than swift
Our swift gives 25.2 kmpl max on highway and on same way our Evo gives 27.1 kmpl mileage
Ride quality handling superb all are superb
Our swift is worst sell in one year done max 1.56 lacs kms and engine blew up we sell it buy Evo On September 2014 after launch of EVO in Gwalior
i have a punto mk2a and this is an offence for me.. punto is becoming uglier year by year! and this one... i dont have words to describe this crap...
Casio fx 991 interpolation
According to me the luk of punto is not that gud.... If I want to buy a hatch it will definitely be elite i20
Same here..
FIAT only for Car Lovers who Really wants Ride Quality and Real Raw Engine Performance... Crafted one and only for Car Lovers not Ordinary... Its a Beast to own.
I had punto and now punto evo...ma exp with fiat customer service is always great...and why punto for me bc i wanna drive a car not a toy in ma budgets.
