- Abbiamo pubblicato IN VERSIONE ORIGINALE IN LINGUA INGLESE ANCHE SE RIVOLTO AL MERCATO ITALIANO il comunicato stampa della nuova Tipo completamente rinnovata “ampliando la gamma con la Nuova Tipo Cross” come missione di una vera crossover.
- evidentemente il mercato italiano è considerato di secondo livello
- The Tipo line-up, 4- and 5-door and Station Wagon, has been completely refreshed and is broadened with the “New Tipo Cross”: the missing link of a crossover.
- New Tipo Cross – the crossover the Tipo way: emotive, distinctive and dynamic, ideal for young people and for families.
- The New Tipo has been refreshed in its design and onboard technology – with the best safety and infotainment in its segment, plus new engines.
- New engine line-up: environment-friendlier and higher performance.
The Tipo has been refreshed: a complete restyling of the line-up, new design – more captivating, younger and more dynamic, the highest technology there is and new better-performing and environment-friendly engines. The line-up is also being expanded into the new crossover: the New Tipo Cross.
The new line-up revolves around two themes: “Life” and its 3 trim levels – Tipo, Life and City Life, available in three body variants (4-door, 5-door and Station Wagon); and the “Cross” theme, with two trims – City Cross and Cross, and in the 5-door body crossover variant.
The versatile and captivating Panda Cross was the strategic key to this model’s success across Europe. Indeed, the ‘crossover’ look has moved Panda closer to a new, younger target customer, those looking for a car that is not only functional, ideal for the city, but also super cool and with a contemporary design. The same strategy has also been taken on in the Tipo, with the extension of its family. Fiat’s designers and engineers have developed the new Tipo Cross along those lines, creating the new crossover Tipo, again aimed at a new target audience, broader than before in terms of age, aesthetic taste and mobility requirements.
The Tipo’s new look
The New Tipo has been completely refreshed and now appears more modern, more dynamic and more elegant. The new front has a rethought grille, a highlight of which is the new Fiat logo, with Fiat lettering, a major statement packed with renewal. The Tipo is also the first Fiat car to take on this logo, to follow the recently unveiled New 500.
The headlights have been completely redesigned, now with full-LED lights in both the front and rear: not only do they enhance the car’s lines, they bestow a more modern look on the car and increase active and passive safety. Courtesy of improved visibility and in line with the quest for better sustainability in every minute detail, they reduce the car’s electricity consumption and therefore, accordingly, CO2 emissions.
The bumper in the lower section of the car, completely redesigned by adding elements in the brushed chrome ICE MATTE finish, is paired with new 16” or 17” alloy wheels with diamond finish and new designs.
Inside, the passenger compartment is brand-new, too. The seats feature fabrics with exclusive designs. The fully configurable 7″ TFT digital cluster replaces the conventional analog instrument panel. A seriously higher-tech and more advanced system, so you can keep under control the status of the car, the multimedia aspect and your phone. The cluster comes with the all-new UConnect 5 radio with a 10.25″ touch screen, another first for the FCA Group on the New 500 and now available on the Tipo.
Even the steering wheel – now even more elegant and sportier – has been the focus of our designers’ attention. It is more compact and pared down for better ergonomics and to offer perfect visibility of the onboard 7” TFT cluster. Attention has also been paid to the central control panel, where the air conditioning settings have been revisited and new chrome and black inserts added.
The new Tipo line-up is also available in two unprecedented nuances: Ocean Blue and Paprika Orange.
