We’ve already brought you enough details on the new Fiat Uno (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 times), but here’s more. The new Fiat Uno will be based on the next-generation Fiat Panda from Europe, but with some changes.

From the images which were shared by Giovane da Silva, we can see that the new headlamps will kind of dig into the bonnet, where the back lights will be based higher up the back of the model, similar to the Punto.

The back will be straight with a slight curve. The number plate will be housed in the bumper, and the sides on this model will be very similar to that of the Panda. The lack of any curves or complex shapes reduces manufacturing costs, understandable as this is a low-cost car.

Fiat’s new Uno will have a load of styling cues from the new Palio model as well, and we could see a debut, or even a release in December. Rumors are floating around that China will manufacture the new Uno, but we’re more interested in hearing when it’ll arrive in India.

The Italian Auto major -FIAT has said that India will play an important role in the launch of FIAT’s low cost car brand which is expected by year 2010.

Earlier, Fiat had plans of confining the low cost brand to the European markets. Now though, FIAT is considering India as a key hub for its new brand chiefly for supply of cheap yet durable components.

French manufacturer Renault Motors is designing the entry-level low cost car (codenamed ULC) that it going to be rolled out jointly with Nissan Motors and Bajaj Auto from their Chakan unit in Maharashtra by 2011. The final shape of the car has already been decided and the French automaker’s team will continue its styling until its production. The finishing touches will be done by the Boulogne-Billancourt-based company’s Mumbai design centre.  [ Read More ]
