Palio Stile Launch - Team-BHP

karlosdeville · 2nd April 2007, 23:38

This morning Fiat launched the new Palio Stile and inaugurated the Ranjangaon facility, at the hands of Vilasrao Deshmukh. I was lucky to be there, albeit for a short while, and get these pics...(sorry bout the quality, but no lighting....)

Everybodys familiar with what it looks like by now, though the major change i belive is the adoption of basically the Uno 1.1 motor...the 1.6 continues, and i guess a 1.3 multijet will follow...

Interiors get the usual dose of new colors, plastics continue to dissapoint...

We travelled to the plant in a friends 57 Fiat, so I couldnt resist these pics...

Note the new side indicators....the one pictured below is the palio, the one below that is a 1962 Fiat...hmmm...! (Actually the Uno side indicator is very similar to the one for the 57 Fiat...)

Well done Karl - nice coverage

Nice Pics..only thing if they would have changed the wheel caps. things would have been much better. What's the price?

karlosdeville · 3rd April 2007, 00:09

prices arent out yet, it should be announced at a function in bombay on the 4th...

This is a great work KarlosDeville!!!!

Please notice the two cars at the parking explains my post (http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/indian...tml#post403710 (Super HOT!!! New FIAT PALIO :::Genuine PICS::)). It seems that the ground clearance has increased by almost 20mm

BTW, Karlos....

Did you get any information on the pricing???

I think the starting model will be having a price with 3 L and the AC/PS model somewhere around 3.5 and the full version at 3.8-4.0????

What about your opinion folks???

This time they have got some damn S**Y colours to start with.
I think FIAT has finally learned from their lessons.

amtak · 3rd April 2007, 00:15

Cool...what do you think would be the prices...? 3-4? shouldnt be more than that if FIAT wants to be competetive...what do you all think?

hydrashok · 3rd April 2007, 00:16

Are the stock tyres thinner than before? They look thinner than the old 165 profiles.

karlosdeville · 3rd April 2007, 00:19

the 1.1 has 165/80 R13, and the 1.6 gets 175/65 R14

jkdas · 3rd April 2007, 00:34

great

we still have that 1.6 and Tata will do the sales and service too?
Tell me that 1.5l will be atleast 80bhp. pls pls

amtak · 3rd April 2007, 00:35

Also, its high time that FIAT upgrade its website. The present site looks like its been designed by some computer institue guys in their free time

shineshine · 3rd April 2007, 00:40

I even wrote a couple of mails to Fiat folks about this, not useful so far.

Nice pics there Karlos! Thanks for sharing with us!

Palio Stile has got fresh and contemperory looks! Though the interior is more or less the same as NV model except the beige shade!
Good that 1.6 option is available too!

Now, they should plonk the 1.3 Multijet too before Swift D runs away to glory!

heard that the deal with suzuki is that the 1.3l wont be modded than what swift has got in terms of bhp :(

fiat has destroyed the look of the car by raising the car even more....the gap between the tyres and the wheel arches is pronounced,its started looking a little bit like the indica with the gaps in the wheel arches.
