Fiat Punto Evo to be unveiled at Frankfurt, due here 2010
September 2, 2009 by Matt Brogan
Fiat will debut the next generation of diesel engines at the Frankfurt International Motor Show on September 15 when it launches the new Fiat Punto Evo.
The second generation of the Multijet diesel engine not only meets the tough new Euro5 emissions standards, it slashes NOx emissions, traditionally a diesel bugbear, by 30 per cent, as well as cutting fuel consumption by a further two per cent.
Not to be outdone, the petrol engine variants of the new Punto Evo feature the new Multiair technology, however these engines are unlikely to make it to Australia due to cost, that cuts fuel consumption by 10 per cent while, at the same time, lifting power and torque by 10 per cent.
The new Punto Evo will also offer (in selected markets) LPG and Methane versions as well as Start and Stop technology, which ensures that the engine is only running when it is actually needed.
With the second generation of eco:Drive, the Fiat Punto Evo also offers its drivers advice and suggestions on cutting fuel consumption and emissions in real time.
Australian deliveries of the new Fiat Punto Evo are expected in the third quarter of 2010, when local prices and specifications will be announced.
Print it: 
Looked way better before. It looks a bit Chinese now. Still, it looks meaner so an Abarth should look OK.
Looks like they were trying to merge the face of the 500 and the current Punto. What a shame.
Well in black, you cant tell the 500-esque front end..those alloys look the biz!
Hay Elitist its time to upgrade,evo Punto now you can be Schmacher and Makinen in one.LOL
Underlinger, your compliments were sufficient enough.
The technology in this car is probably 5 years ahead of drongo a-fords and commondores.
The technology in any European car is way ahead of FalCommodore
Like 25 year old Saab chassis’s.LOL,what about the gutless Peugeot XR3dr 1.4 55kw in a 1213kg body(Thats using your noggin,NOT),I’m sure thats got more tech than a Calais and everyone would take one of them over an G6E Turbo.
Fiat Group:
1st to design and implement robots in a production car line…then allows other brands to use the technology under licence.
1st to invent clever Commonrail turbo diesel technology…then allows other brands to buy the technology under license.
1st to invent Air Injection Technology…Class leading Power output/Fuel consumption/Co2 Emmisions being relesed now and I’m sure they will allow other car manufacturs to buy the licences in a few years time.
I like the new facelift, but the Evo name does not belong on a car like this. Just keep the name the same, Grande Punto.
