Fiat Panda Hatchback 1.3 Multijet - Team-BHP

Icemaiden · 31st March 2005, 14:53

Any news about this car?

I heard that the Panda also has the world’s smallest common-rail turbodiesel engine. Shared with the Vauxhall Corsa and Tigra, the 1248cc dohc unit features all-alloy construction and Multijet direct injection.

By dividing each injector into several smaller units, the Multijet provides more accurate fuelling to improve performance and refinement without increasing fuel consumption.

Inquisitive about the Panda...

Looks like this will not be launched in India atleast this year. Suzuki will be building JTD engines which Fiat has licensed it to do so. Looks like Suzuki might open its diesel plant by next year end (2006 end). We can expect this engine in all Fiats and many Suzukis by that time or during early 2007.

plus, read today's Economic Times.
Fiat is actively looking for partners to off load some of their equity in India.
so anything may happen.
after all they make some fine cars

with the GM Fiat split - this might not happen - maybe Fiat might make the engine for Suzuki in India - gives Fiat an income !
