The refreshed Fiat Grande Punto a.k.a. Punto Evo will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor show this September. This is the next model from Fiat, although not a brand new one, it has significant changes worthy to call it a new car.

The introduction of the Multiair technology will boost fuel economy and suppress emission levels. It will also get more exciting interiors including a dashboard made out of better materials and a new design that would put the current one’s to shame.

Automobile Magazine France has issued a couple of close-up high quality shots of the upcoming Fiat Grande Punto test mule. I’m almost certain the changes will be hard to spot for you, a new radiator grille and bumpers are all the exterior differences on the refreshed Grande Punto slated for a year-end release.

Over to the interiors, Automobile Magazine reports the dashboard of the 2010 Grande Punto will utilize better quality materials. Under the hood, the engine will be coupled to a start-stop system which the Fiat 500 was earlier fitted with.
