Fiat Palio Stile
Fiat has managed to bounce back in India to some extent with their Palio. Now, you get another version of this car that will prove to be a great option for all brand loyalists and Fiat lovers. The new and improved Fiat Palio Stile (not Style, it is Stee-Lay!) has been launched in India for all those who still believe that Fiat deserves a fair chance to prove itself. The new hatchback from Fiat is available in two petrol engine variants, Palio Stile 1.1 and Palio Stile 1.6 Sport. Those who have taken this car for a test drive have been 
really impressed. Palio Stile’s prices range from Rs 3.49 lakh to Rs 3.90 lakh while the Palio Stile 1.6 is priced at Rs 4.31 lakh. The entire range is available at country-wide Tata-Fiat network of 63 dealerships covering 42 major cities.

The entire range is available at country-wide Tata-Fiat network of 63 dealerships covering 42 major cities.Fiat has held onto the powerful 1.6 liter petrol engine in the Stile, which will definitely bring a smile to all those driving enthusiasts. The maximum power output is 57 PS at 5250 rpm and the maximum torque is 92Nm at 2750 rpm. The 1.1 liter engine qualifies the Palio Stile as a small car as according to the government norms, which means lower excise duty will be applicable on it. Though the motor capacity will be 25% less than the current 72 bhp, it will be beneficial for the pulling power of the engine in low speeds. This will be highly improved in the new car, which the previous version of the Palio lacked. The low speed torque will improve the fuel economy, thus making it an economical car.
The dimensions of the Palio Stile are almost the same as the previous version, but the interiors have been improved quite a lot, giving it a cozy yet a plush look. The seats have been done in a soothing beige upholstery while the dashboard have been given a dual colored look in warm brown shades and brushed metal, which is typical of the Italian style. The improved features of the car’s exteriors include new front bumper, wider black anti-matter grille, double barreled headlamps, new tail-lamps and door handles. The Palio Stile 1.1 variant will be offered in six colors - Furnace Red, Ozone Blue, Alpine Green, Mint White, Carbon Black and Magnesium Grey. The Stile 1.6 Sport is available in Formula Red and Carbon Black. So take out this new baby for a drive and feel the smile glow your face!Technical Specifications
