Fiat India Automobiles Ltd, the joint venture between Fiat and Tata Motors, has just announced that it is all primed to launch the petrol and diesel versions of the Grande Punto, the company's mid-size hatchback, in the country this month. The launch and public unveiling of the car is set to happen at a grand ceremony in New Delhi on the 17th of this month. The Grande Punto is a perfect hatchback counterpart to the Linea which has already established itself among the C plus segment saloons. Manufacturing of this new hatchback will commence at Fiat's state-of-the-art plant at Ranjangaon which already manufactures the Linea and Palio.
The beautiful lines of the Grande Punto have been penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro, who has received the accolade of 'Car Designer of the Century' for styling some of the most striking looking car designs of the 20th century. The car has consistently done well internationally since its launch in 2005 and it too has won many awards such as Brazil's 'Carro Do anno 2008' (Car of the Year 2008) among many others. Even on the safety front, the Grande Punto has received the highest 5-Star rating in the stringent Euro NCAP safety tests. To make the car a great value proposition in India, Fiat is aiming for 85-percent localization by the end of this year.
Positioned as a large two box hatch, the Grande Punto will fall in the same segment as the Maruti Suzuki Swift, the Hyundai i20, the Skoda Fabia and the upcoming Honda Jazz.
