All about buying and selling cars

New Fiat Tipo (2017-2018) - massive offensive. Fiat Tipo sedan - renamed Fiat Aegea Fiat Tipo description

The first show of the Fiat Tipo 2018 car took place back in 2014 in Geneva at the motor show. But May 2015 was just marked for fans of the Italian brand Fiat with the official presentation of the new model, which was shown to the general public in 3 bodies at once: a sedan, a hatchback and a station wagon. However, information about the hatchback and station wagon remained closed, and the sedan went into mass production. Moreover, he became the flagship of the Italian automaker, which replaced two models that were previously highly popular - Linea and.

The development of the compact C-class sedan has been going on for three years, together with the Turkish company Tofas, which is probably why the car's debut took place as part of the auto exhibition at the Istanbul Motor Show. The production of the car is organized just at the enterprise of this very company.


It is worth knowing that the Tipo model name is available only for European residents, but in Turkey the car is sold under the Fiat Aegea name. Since it belongs to the class of compact sedans, the Czech and two French models - and - were declared its competitors. If the "Italian" has a choice of bodies, then the above competitors are available only in the "sedan" body.

Design

Regardless of which buyer chooses the body, the car has an elegant and stylish outline that meets modern requirements.

At the front, the car received slightly squinted optics and a large radiator grill, which is made in a corporate and unique style. The logo of the Italian company flaunts in the center of the grill. From the cutouts on the head optics along the bottom of the grille, there is a chrome strip separating the front bumper from the rest of the Fiat Tipo. The bumper has a blown shape, and small rectangular fog lights are mounted in its corners, between which there is a large air intake in the form of a trapezoid. The hood of the car, complemented by clear edges along the edges, gives a little aggression.


The car has a very striking profile that combines dynamism and elegance. Especially worth noting are the unique wheel rims, the front optics strongly protruding onto the fender of the car and the "notch" in the rear between the lights and the bumper, which, in combination with the long tail lights, gives a special look.

The sides of the Fiat Tipo 2018 are decorated with "tides" and smooth lines that do not allow consumers to forget that this car came from the center of world fashion, from a country where people know what style is.


No less impressive is the sedan's rear, which has a complex architecture with many lines and transitions. The trunk lid has a "protrusion" along the edge similar to a small spoiler. Immediately below it is the brand logo, followed by a chrome strip identical to the strip at the front of the vehicle. The taillights originate from the chrome strip and descend in a semicircle towards the rear bumper. The reversing light is located in the center of the semicircle. The rear bumper looks neat, and its lower part has a flat surface, the exhaust pipes are masked.

Dimensions:

  • the length of the compact sedan is 4532 mm;
  • width - 1792 mm;
  • height - 1497 mm;
  • wheelbase - 2636 mm;
  • ground clearance - 150 mm.

If different body options have the same wheelbase and ground clearance, then their dimensions are slightly different.

Hatchback / wagon:

  • length - 4368/4571 mm;
  • width - 1792/1792 mm;
  • height - 1495/1514 mm.

Salon Fiat Tipo


The interior of the car has a minimalistic style, but the interior looks quite attractive and for this class of cars has high-quality finishing materials.

The steering wheel has a premium look with a wide range of functions, and the dashboard located behind it is "strewn" with a large number of indicators. The center console houses a tiny display of the multimedia system. It is separated from the rest of the console by a single row of buttons. Below there are rounded air ducts and a climate control unit in the form of three rounds.


The tunnel doesn't have anything special, however, it does have a pair of cup holders and a large armrest. The front seats have comfortable padding and pronounced lateral support, as well as a wide range of adjustments.

Regardless of the type of body, there is more space in the back row of seats than that of its closest competitors, and the manufacturers themselves even declare that three tall basketball players can easily and comfortably fit into the second row of seats. By the way, if there are only two of them, they will be able to use the center armrest, which has a pair of cup holders.


The luggage compartment volume ranges from 440 to 550 liters, but it can be more than tripled by folding the backrests of the second row of seats. Again, it all depends on the body type. The Italian model found a place for both a repair kit and a spare wheel.

Fiat Tipo Specifications

A type Volume Power Torque Overclocking Maximum speed Number of cylinders
Diesel 1.2 l 95 h.p. 200 H * m 11.7 sec. 180 km / h 4
Diesel 1.6 l 120 h.p. 350 H * m 9.7 sec. 199 km / h 4

Petrol 1.6 l 110 h.p. 152 H * m 11.2 sec. 192 km / h 4

The car has a wide choice of power plants, including two turbodiesels and two gasoline "aspirated".

  1. Petrol modifications are represented by a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine, which develops 95 hp. and 127 Nm of torque and a 1.6-liter engine, which will already allow to develop 110 "horses" and 152 Nm of thrust. The first of them accelerates the "Italian" to a hundred in 11.5 seconds, and Tipo 2018 continues to accelerate to the limit of the maximum speed of 185 km / h. At the same time, the average fuel consumption in the combined cycle is only 5.7 liters. This modification of the 6-speed manual transmission is completed.
  2. The second power unit, due to its increased power, makes it possible to "exchange" the first hundred in 11.2 seconds, and the maximum speed will increase with such a motor to 192 km / h. Fuel consumption will also increase with it up to 6.3 liters per 100 km of track in the combined cycle. It works in tandem with a 6-speed automatic.
  3. The diesel Fiat Tipo MultiJet powertrain lineup is represented by 1.3 and 1.6 liter engines that produce 95, 120 hp. and 200, 320 Nm of thrust, respectively. The weaker one is also equipped with "mechanics", and the more powerful "automatic". Detailed characteristics of the powerful version are not yet available, but a weaker diesel engine will accelerate the car to 183 km / h, breaking the first hundred in 11.8 seconds. At the same time, the average consumption is only 3.5 liters.


The torque of both diesel and gasoline units is transmitted only to the front axle. At the front, the car has an independent suspension with McPherson flocks, and at the rear, the car stands on a semi-independent suspension with a twisted beam.

Price

The base cost of the 2018 Fiat Tipo in the European market is 850,000 rubles (12,000 euros). The basic configuration will already have everything you need:

  • audio system with a small display;
  • air conditioning;
  • 15-inch wheels;
  • 6 airbags;
  • tire pressure sensors;
  • electric power steering;

The maximum configuration with all options is additionally equipped with: cruise control; climate control; rear view camera; navigation system together with a 5-inch Uconnect multimedia display; rain and light sensors.

The result of buying a good package will be the presence of a 5-inch multimedia display with TomTom navigation system, rear-view cameras and climate control. Despite all this, it is difficult to call the car a significant player in the market, many will prefer other brands.

Video

For 7 years, the Italian brand has been producing the 2020 Fiat Tipo with a hatchback, coupe, and station wagon body. At that time, this line of cars was very popular, surpassing the Volkswagen Golf in terms of sales. For example, the 1989 and other Fiat Tipo became the most popular in Brazil. The spacious interior, the compactness of the car won over many motorists.

The production of a new model has begun, which vaguely resembles its predecessor. In May 2018, the presentation of the Fiat Tipo 2021 took place in Istanbul. There is already information about the start of sales in Russia. The start of sales is scheduled for mid-2020. The main buyers are the European market and Turkey.

External model data

Compared to its 2020 and earlier Fiat Tipo predecessor, the car has certainly undergone a restyling. But there were some features that kept him in high positions. At that time, there was also a similar analogue of Fiat, supposedly, the Fiat Tempra, which was identical to it. These models combined spaciousness, compactness, content and comfort. The new body completely repeats these qualities. Externally, the car looks very stylish, neat.

A smooth line along the side of the doors emphasizes its interior, special elegance, narrow headlights harmoniously fit into the overall picture. The whole car seems to be a little elongated due to this shape of the headlights and some details. Compared to 2021, the novelty has acquired a new radiator grille, which has become much wider and more massive. The body colors are still unknown, but everyone can make the tuning for themselves.

The design of the novelty is very laconic, smooth lines prevail. The body cover blends harmoniously into the roof, does not stand out from the general view, and is quite compact. The novelty has the following dimensions:

  • length of sedan, hatchback, station wagon: 4540 mm., 4370 mm., 4570 mm;
  • width: 1790 mm;
  • height: 1490 mm;
  • clearance (ground clearance) - 150 mm;
  • trunk volume - 520 liters;
  • discs - available in 16, 17 diameters.

Interior functions

Manufacturers have tried to make the interior as laconic as possible but at the same time functional. This is proved by the fact that for the driver there is absolutely everything in good accessibility. Sitting behind the wheel of a Fiat Tipo is comfortable, pleasant, in the rear seats, all passengers will feel as comfortable as possible. All materials are very high quality, the upholstery is also pleasing. Thanks to the spacious trunk, the car can accommodate any number of things, if necessary, the rear seats can be folded down - the volume will increase.
Salon Fiat Tipo looks quite complete in the photo, gray, silver shades prevail, which emphasize the laconic design of the car. Inside the cabin there are all the necessary accessories for comfortable control: power windows, electrically adjustable rear-view mirrors, 6 airbags, a 5-inch touchscreen display, an audio system, light and rain sensors, climate control, parking sensors, cruise control, a high-quality navigation system. Some configurations include a towbar, speech recognition function.

Specifications

Specifications Fiat Tipo 2020 2021 do not differ much from each other. The model has the following indicators:

  • diesel / gasoline: there are options with diesel engines (1.3 liters, 1.6 liters), also gasoline (1.4 liters, 1.6 liters);
  • transmission: automatic, mechanics, six-speed;
  • fuel consumption per 100 km. - 4.1 l. (petrol); 3.7 l. (diesel);
  • tank volume - 48 liters;
  • engine power - from 95 to 120 horsepower.

Judging by the characteristics of the filling, the model is very powerful. For city driving, it is great, even in basic inexpensive trim levels. If you buy the minimum complete set of Fiat Tipo, then the car will be equipped with good engine power, as well as economical fuel consumption. On the technical side, the car is suitable as a family or work car.


Official dealers

The table shows the official dealers where to buy and how much Fiat cars cost. Unfortunately, Fiat Tipo 2020 is not for sale in the public domain in Russia. You can buy original accessories, spare parts for owners of Fiat Tipo and other models from these car dealerships. Through them, you can try to reach gray dealers who can help with the selection of the new Fiat Tipo 2020 2021. At the moment, the model can be purchased by order.


Car prices

This car is in great demand not only because of its good technical data and appearance. Of course, cost plays an important role. Fiat Tipo is budget friendly, so many people prefer it for its affordability. Its cost varies from $ 14,000 to $ 20,000, depending on the configuration.

The price in Russia is unknown, since the model is not presented on the Russian market. For those who wish to purchase Fiat Tipo 2020 by import, the price in Ukraine will be 370,900 UAH. - 413 900 UAH (910,063 rubles - 1,015,571 rubles).

Market competition

Since this model is rather peculiar and does not quite meet the standard characteristics of other brands, it has few competitors that could compete for identity. But still, there are a couple of representatives who can become an additional option for choosing a car in this price range. These are Opel Astra and Hyundai Tucson. To clearly see the similarities and differences, let's compare them.

Characteristic Opel astra Hyundai Tucson
Length height width 4419 mm. - 1510 mm. - 1814 mm. 4475 mm. - 1650 mm. - 1850 mm.
Diesel / gasoline Petrol Gasoline, diesel
Transmission Automatic, 6 gears, mechanics, five-speed Mechanics, automatic, six-speed
Fuel consumption per 100 km. 8.9 liters 8.6 liters
Engine power 140 horsepower 132 horsepower
Price RUB 909,900 RUB 1,505,900

Comparing competitors with Fiat Tipo 2020, you can see that the price in Russia, fuel consumption (Fiat turned out to be the most economical), but the most powerful one came out of the Opel comparison. Dimensions also do not differ very much, only Hyundai will be more massive and taller, since it is a crossover.

And Fiat's story in post-Soviet Russia is filled with sadness. At first, there was an era of private import, and the specimens brought from Italy quickly rotted and were pretty much “crumpled”. Here the company has to "thank" the very mediocre roads and the warm climate of its native Italy (and hence the economy on anticorrosive), as well as local drivers who drive disgustingly and service cars about as "responsibly" as the Russians.

So used Fiats outright lost to used Volkswagens from respectable Germany and Toyota from no less restrained Japan. And if there is no demand, then there are no suppliers of spare parts and craftsmen. And further in a vicious circle.

It was not easy for Fiat to start official sales with such a background. He didn't really try. In the 2000s, the Italians brought the ugly Fiat Albea, which, for some unknown reason, cost more and, moreover, was not much better than Logan, and therefore was doomed.

1 / 2

2 / 2

Then a pretty fatty Fiat Linea appeared, which was supposedly collected in Russia, but the price was still “charged” incongruous expectations. Now the passenger lineup has narrowed to the fashion Fiat 500 at a price of 1 million rubles and the remains of the outgoing generation Fiat Punto. The picture is bleak. Given the crisis, the likelihood of the appearance, and even more so - of successful sales in Russia of the new Fiat Tipo is not high.

But we in the editorial office of the site are both optimistic and extremely curious, and therefore we still found and tested Tipo, since it is sold in neighboring Ukraine. The local model range is generally much richer due to the relatively low fees and low cost of certification - there are no “recycling fees”, no mandatory, or other bureaucratic protectionist measures.

Tipo and competitors

Before bumping into description and taste, a few dry numbers to understand what kind of car it is. If we compare Tipo, say, with Skoda Octavia, Volkswagen Jetta, Toyota Corolla, Citroen C4 and Mazda 3, then the "Italian" will be consistently shorter by about 5-10 centimeters with its 4,532 mm in length.

True, it is difficult to attribute the Fiat Tipo to class B + - if we evaluate the dimensions of our popular Renault Logan, Skoda Rapid, VW Polo sedan, Kia Rio and Hyundai Solaris, we will see that they all do not go beyond 4,400 mm. Which is significantly less Tipo.

The price of a sedan assembled in Turkey makes the heart beat faster - in Europe it is quite attractive. The basic version of the sedan with mechanics and a 1.4-liter aspirated 95 hp. from. costs from 14,250 euros, while, say, an Octavia 1.2 TSI with a capacity of 85 liters. from. - from 17 190.

The start of sales of Fiat Tipo at home seemed explosive at first - in August 2016 the car rose sharply to the third place in the ranking of the most popular cars in Italy, leaving only the eternal bestsellers Fiat Panda and Lancia Ypsilon ahead. But by September, the novelty sharply surrendered as much as 10 positions, rolling back to 13th place, where it remained in October. Now about 2,700 cars are sold a month.

One could say "fu, failure" if you do not know that in Italy, although they are very patriotic in terms of car tastes, they generally buy badly large C-class cars, preferring B or A. On the roads, according to local residents and tourists , Tipo already comes across regularly, both in Rome and in the hinterland, and has even been purchased by the police (does this explain the explosion in sales in August?).

So, a relatively compact and inexpensive C-class, which has not yet become a bestseller or an outsider. Our version is with a 1.6 x 110 hp engine. from. and a 6-speed hydromechanical "automatic". Let's try it in action.

Outside

Do you know why the Fiat Tipo sedan looks so harmonious? Because it was originally conceived as a three-volume, and only then they made a hatch and a station wagon out of it. Which is quite logical, because the car was made not only for the internal European market, but also for developing countries.


Fortunately, there is no flawed touch of budget in the look - no small wheels, no ridiculously docked trunk, no puffiness for the sake of the internal volume. The design of the front end with its outlines resembles the Mazda style of KODO, but the perception is radically changed by the chic radiator grille, finished with "chrome" and glossy plastic.

In profile, the sedan is not so individual, but pleasant. The low, squat contour of the silhouette is formed, among other things, thanks to a clearance of 150 mm. For our realities, this may not be enough, plus some concern is caused by the painted "lip" of the front bumper. The other side of this coin is the impressively low Cx drag coefficient of 0.29.


And for the stern you can even fall in love with Fiat. Live its C-shaped relief taillights look even better than in photos! And the seemingly short and small trunk is generally an optical illusion, inside 520 liters of space! The cover, which protrudes deeply into the bumper, provides a low loading height, although it's a shame that this low cut is limited in width.




Engines and power

1.2 (95 HP), 1.6 (120 HP), 1.4 (120 HP)

Inside

Korean and domestic public sector employees (we will not point the finger), which look very solid from the outside, inside are a little frustrating with the simplicity of decoration, hard plastic and an ignoble chemical smell. This is not about the Fiat Tipo! The torpedo is half soft to the touch material, the joints are all smooth, no squeaks and "breathing" elements when pressed. Yes, the “aluminum” insert is actually made of painted plastic, and most of the elements are still rigid, but there is a general feeling of quality.


The steering wheel is rather slippery, but soft leather (most likely, "eco-leather") trim, thick, nice in girth. Music controls are on the back, according to Italian tradition. The Maserati Levante has done the same - maybe it will warm the pride of the owners.





Here the head unit cannot boast of a breadth of functionality. In his arsenal there is only a modest black and white screen, the ability to connect a phone via Bluetooth, and playback of media files from media connected via AUX and USB. The color screen is the prerogative of the top-end configuration.

Chairs with good lateral support are decorated with a combination of leather and fabric of a pleasant texture. In the maneuvers, it was pleasant to feel that the side bolsters are not a tribute to fashion, and not the maintenance of the sporty image of "Italians", but a really effective tool of comfort. On the second row, there is enough space for three adults, except that tall passengers in winter jackets will feel a certain tightness in their shoulders.



Transmission

Aisin AW60T, 6 steps

Ride is cheap

There are quite a few engines in the European range of Tipo engines: there are also low-volume turbodiesels 1.2 (95 HP) and 1.6 (120 HP), and an interesting 1.4 bi-fuel turbo engine (120 HP) with a factory gas equipment. But we, as already mentioned above, are an “eternal classic”: the inline “four” E.torQ 1.6 liters, 110 liters. pp., 152 Nm, developed in the early 2010s in Brazil and previously seen on the Punto.


The motor, by the way, although uncomplicated by modern standards of construction, is quite economical - if you calmly roll along the highway without air conditioning, you can keep within 6 liters per 100 km. Perhaps the outstanding aerodynamics help here.

You won't be able to be nimble with such a combination of engine and gearbox - the electronics protects the bowels of the Aisin AW60T “automatic”, does not give an effective roar at the start, limiting traction, and sets an imposing pace of driving. Perhaps, for an active drive, you need a "mechanic", or even better - a turbocharged 1.4 T-Jet in combination with a preselective "robot" ...

Suspension Tipo is well known from other models of the brand. The front "MacPherson" type was borrowed from the 500X crossover, and the rear beam from the 500L microvan. In motion, the car looks more like the same "X" - the same knocked down and elastic, and, perhaps, only slightly softer. Its rigidity is noticeable only at the joints of asphalt, on paving stones and manifests itself more acoustically than vibrations on the controls. Perhaps the engineers would do well to work on soundproofing the wheel arches.

Moreover, everything is in order with the "Shumka" of the engine shield - the engine is almost inaudible even at suburban speeds in the cabin - it's nice. The elasticity of the car has a positive effect on handling, the sedan does not strive to go into a large roll even in a fast 90-degree turn.

Prospects?

In Russia, they are rather vague. With good hands, Fiat Tipo could cost us "somewhere between Rapid and Octavia", that is, from 750 thousand to 1 million rubles, which is not so bad. But for this you need to localize production, invest a lot of money, do a large-scale advertising campaign in order to change the not very favorable image of Fiat ...

It is not a fact that FCA will now make such investments, having stable demand in the commercial segment and good prospects in other emerging markets. But if I’m right, I’ll be sincerely sorry that Russia will never know what a good Italian car is.


Would you buy a Fiat Tipo for yourself if it went on sale in Russia?

The new Italian sedan Fiat Tipo 2016-2017 model year is ready to enter the European market. The model of the new compact four-door sedan Fiat Tipo is also known as, but ... in its native Italy and the rest of Europe, a novelty from Fiat S.p.A. can be bought with the familiar name Tipo (from 1988 to 1995, Fiat Tipo 3 and 5 door hatchbacks were produced).

Price Fiat Tipo in base picking (pictured - top-end equipment) starts at 12,000 euros (13,645 US dollars).

The Fiat Aegea sedan and the Fiat Tipo Sedan are twin brothers, and, perhaps, it makes no sense to describe once again the appearance and interior of the novelty (photo in the gallery), we'd better focus on filling the complete sets of the new car and full technical characteristics.

  • External dimensions of the body of the Fiat Tipo Sedan 2016-2017 are 4540 mm in length, 1790 mm in width, 1490 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2640 mm and a ground clearance (clearance) of 150 mm.

Under the hood of the new European sedan Fiat Tipo 2016-2017 model year, a choice of two diesel and a pair of gasoline engines with four cylinders is installed (all engines fit into the Euro6 CO2 emission standards).
Gasoline versions of the Fiat Tipo sedan:

It is not yet clear whether the new Italian Fiat Tipo sedan will appear in Russia. Russians love compact sedans and there are a lot of examples of this - ... a lot of new products from China and, of course, new. So if the Tipo sedan gets to the domestic market, it will be difficult for the Italian novelty, especially given the weak positions of Fiat S.p.A. on the Russian market.

The release of the Fiat Tipo 2016-2017 model year, according to all forecasts, promises to return Fiat to the market space of the C-segment. The Fiat Tipo is a functional, compact sedan.

New Fiat Tipo 2016-2017

The novelty will also be produced under the Aegea brand in the Turkish auto market where, in fact, the car is designed. For European countries and Great Britain, the company "revived" the Tipo model and changed the body to a hatchback and station wagon. Recall that for the period 1988 - 1995. the company has sold nearly 2 million Tipo models for which it was honored with the 1989 Car of the Year award.

Not so long ago, a private show of the novelty took place in Turin and journalists were lucky enough to see all three versions of Aegea / Tipo. After the show, information was provided, which stated that the station wagon and hatchback remained officially undisclosed. Aege sedan was presented on 05.2015 at the Istanbul Motor Show.

The exterior of the car is upscale. examining the front part, first of all, the gaze falls on the false radiator grill, which is located across the entire width.

New Tipo 2016-2017, rear view

The headlights are narrow and the bonnet is sculpted and slightly tapered. Likewise when viewed from behind: the glass is sloping and the roof lines are sculpted. Initially, the novelty was designed in Italy in the sedan version, and after a short time it was decided to create a hatchback and a station wagon.

Salon of the new Tipo 2016-2017

The basis of the car is rationality, spaciousness and content. It's nice to be in the salon. The dashboard design is pleasing to the eye, the control instruments are clear. In general, the design and quality of finishing materials are above average.

Of course, this novelty is not the most sophisticated car, but nevertheless it has every right to fight for a potential client and take the place of a "family" car.

Already in the base is a navigation system, a UconnectTM system with a touchscreen display, Bluetooth, speech recognition, USB ports with iPod integration, as well as a rearview camera for the most simplified parking.

Overall dimensions of Fiat Tipo

Information on the overall dimensions is still vague. It is known that the Fiat Tipo hatchback version will differ little from the size of the Ford Focus.

  • the length of the sedan was 4.540 m;
  • width is 1.790 m;
  • the height is 1.490 m.

The body of the station wagon version will be slightly longer. The wheelbase is 2.640 m. The luggage compartment capacity is 520 liters.

Specifications Fiat Tipo 2016-2017

The newcomer uses a platform similar to that of the Jeep Renegade. As power units, 4 engine options are presented, two of which are diesel and two that run on gasoline.

Gasoline Fiat Group engines:

  1. 1.4 l and a capacity of 95 horses;
  2. 1.6 l, 108 horses.

Diesel Multijet II motors:

  1. 1.3 l, 94 horsepower;
  2. 1.6 l, 118 horses.

The transmission is a six-speed manual, but an automatic transmission and a double clutch can be optionally installed.
AUTOCARy even managed to test the car on the streets of Turin, as well as drive along the highway and cross the Asti hills. During the test, the car turned out to be firm and tough and absolutely nothing outstanding. Experts tested a car with a 1.6-liter turbocharged diesel engine and a 6-speed manual transmission. During the test, good dynamics was noted, but at the same time there was no steering sharpness, if necessary, suddenly turn. Noise, in particular from the rear of the car, was also noticed. Gear shifted mediocre.

It remains only to assume that the version with a 1.4 liter gasoline engine would be of better quality, because its weight is less, and the dynamics and sound insulation are better. If you take it as a whole and do not find fault with trifles, then it is very comfortable to overcome distances in this car. The machine is balanced, and was not going to compete with the Volkswagen Golf, Vauxhall Astra, or in principle.

Configuration and price of Fiat Tipo 2016-2017

The novelty should become popular in European countries, the Middle East and Africa. The exact cost and configuration options will be announced later. According to preliminary data, the price for the 95-horsepower model in Italy will be 14,500 euros in the base configuration, while the price of the top model will be 19,900 euros.
