About the Fiat Grande Punto
Available with a choice of engines, from a frugal 1.2-litre petrol to a punchier 1.9 Multijet diesel, the Fiat Grande Punto is a spacious supermini that is well-suited to city driving. Regardless of the engine choice, it offers good mile per gallon (around 45+ mpg) and a nippy ride experience. The most economical models tend to be the diesel options, whilst the fastest is the Sporting trim with the 1.4 16V T-Jet petrol engine, seeing 0-60mph in roughly 8.6 seconds. For those wanting more performance power, the Abarth Grande Punto hot hatch comes with a lot of equipment as standard, including sports seats and cruise control, and reaches 0-60mph in just 7.9 seconds.
What you can expect to find in a Fiat Grande Punto
The Fiat Grande Punto is now only available on the pre-owned car market. Nonetheless, there are still plenty of models to choose from and a whopping 9 different trim levels. As standard, the Grande Punto comes fairly well-equipped across the board too. All models offer:
- ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
- CD player
- PAS (Power Assisted Steering)
- Remote locking
- Driver and passenger airbags
Adding to the car’s use for families, the Grande Punto also offers Isofix child seat anchor points as an option in the Active spec and as standard in the rest of the trim levels. The Eleganza specification, one of the more valuable models in the line-up, comes with additional features for added comfort and driveability. These include:
- Parking sensors
- Heated mirrors
- Traction control
- Alloy wheels
As a used car, the Fiat Grande Punto offers drivers an affordable city supermini. You can expect a low cost starting price and cheap running costs, with good mpg and a low insurance group, resulting in a hatchback that is perfect as a cheap buy, a second run-around, or as a car for newer drivers.
