FIAT Tipo Sedan • 2015 • Commercial

The Fiat Tipo (codeproject Type 356),is a compact car. A three-box sedan version was unveiled at the 2015 Istanbul Motor Show in May 2015 and commenced sales in Turkey in October 2015. In 2016,it was followed by a hatchback and a station wagon version,for the European market. The Tipo is assembled at the Tofaş plant in Bursa,Turkey,by the Italian automaker Fiat and is built on the Fiat Small Wide LWB platform. It replaced the Bravo and Linea in the C-segment range. The Tipo was designed by Centro Stile Fiat in Mirafiori,Turin. In December 2015,the car won the 2016 Best Buy Car of Europe Award,from the Autobest jury made up of Europe's twenty-six leading journalists,from twenty-six different European countries. In February 2019,the 500,000th Fiat Tipo was produced at the Bursa plant,in Turkey. At the end of October 2020 (28th),a total of 670,000 units of Fiat Tipo had been produced and distributed in over 40 Countries around the world. In 2021,Fiat introduced a facelift to the Tipo with a new motor,new levels of security,technology and a new Cross version. The new change of this facelift introduced the new gasoline engines of the Global Small Engine (FireFly) family produced by FCA Poland Powertrain in Bielsko-Biała in only one version: 1.0 L Turbo 3-cylinder 120 hp with direct injection,Multiair system and GPF filter,the 1.0 L is available with a 5-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive,this new motor is for the models Jeep Renegade,Fiat 500 and Fiat Tipo (2015). In March 2022,the new 1.5-liter GSE (Global Small Engine) T4,four-cylinder, 130 HP and 240 Nm of torque,also from the FireFly family, was introduced in Italy,Europe and Turkey,Turbo petrol but with hybrid technology,combined with a 48V electric motor that integrates a small additional 15 kW unit,the latter installed in the new seven-speed dual-clutch DCT automatic transmission,capable of allowing a more silent start (100% electric) and to use the car in fully electric mode (e-launch),in parking maneuvers or in small forward movements at walking pace (e-queuing),such as when in queue in city traffic. This hybrid technology represented a step forward for Fiat,improving the efficiency and dynamics of the vehicle and allowing it to travel with the thermal engine switched off. The petrol engine,in fact,thanks to the electric one,can remain inactive up to 47% of the time. For this reason, the new 130 bhp 1.5-liter GSE T4 e-motor has been defined by experts in the field of automotive (not a mild-hybrid,introduced on the Fiat Panda and Fiat 500 only,but) a mini Full-hybrid or Middle-hybrid,(i.e. a via between a full-hybrid and a mild-hybrid),which was the first to introduce this technology in the automotive market. This new advanced hybrid engine,developed by the engineers of the FCA Group (also introduced on the new Alfa Romeo Tonale,on the Fiat 500X hybrid,as well as on the Jeep Renegade and Compass models),also allows an 11% reduction in CO2 compared to the previous version,with declared consumption,for the new Fiat Tipo hybrid,of just 4.7 l/ 100 km. In November 2022,the 1 millionth Tipo was produced at Bursa plant. In November 2015 sales of the Fiat Tipo sedan started in Italy,Spain and France. The 5-door hatchback and station wagon versions were presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2016. In 2016 the Tipo is officially on sale in all three of its variants throughout Europe,to the exception of the United Kingdom where the sedan is not imported due to the low demand for this type of vehicle. At the debut the engine range consisted of the 1.4 Fire 16V petrol delivering 95 hp,the 1.6 E.torQ 16V with 110 hp,the 1.3 Multijet II 16V diesel with 95 hp and 1.6 Multijet II diesel with 120 hp. In 2017 the Tipo range was enlarged with the introduction of the two-seater Van variant of the station wagon,available in southern Europe. Also in 2017,dual-fuel variants (called EasyPower) were introduced,powered by petrol and LPG. ______________________________________________________ *This series of commercials is dedicated to existing European Car Brands and is intended to immortalize and promote each individual model created by these brands,which will be exclusively presented in United States and Canada under American Car Brands,such as Saturn,Mercury,Plymouth,Oldsmobile,AMC and Pontiac brands,revived and redesigned under the INAARP program in 2040.* #INAARP2040 #ENEB #ENEBArchive #FIAT #stellantis #italy #automotive #revival #project #trending
