2013 Fiat Punto Caught Doing Test Runs

The Italian automaker, Fiat Motors is cosmetically lifting its cars to imbibe a new spark to its line-up. After the popular sedan Linea, the much-favored hatchback of the brand, Punto has been rendered new design and look. The facelifted newfangled Fiat Punto was spotted undergoing test runs on the roads of Brazil.

The Brazilian auto market is also on the rise and this freshly designed car is expected to be made available for sale by the next month. The spyshots collected reveal that the facelifted version has been bestowed with redesigned bumpers and headlamps along with the sharper and more focused fog lamps. More flowing lines have been added to the already chic and hood of the car. It doesn’t look like the side profile of the car has been uplifted to a great extent; however the addition of more alloys makes the overall look of the car sportier while maintaining the elegance quotient.

The redesigning of the tail lamps and the bumpers at the rear end of the car is in absolute accord with the front end. Fiat is thorough in its work when it decides to uplift the looks of any of its cars and as expected the interiors of said popular hatchback have also been graced with new and refreshed look. The 2013 Fiat Punto facelift has received new A/C vents on the redesigned dashboard but has maintained the steering wheel design. The major change in the design philosophy has been witnessed by the central console and the instrument cluster.

From the pictures revealed it can be inferred that the car has finally lost the retro look and has switched to more modish and chic visual appearance. Also the new Fiat Punto hatchback will be offered in 3 exciting modes of driving namely, normal, sports and economy. The sports driving mode like the name itself will be responsible for contributing to better overall performance whereas the economy mode would be clearly offering better mileage. Fiat India is anticipated to roll out the facelifted Punto somewhere in the next year. Quite a wait, we must say!!
