India has just received the Grande Punto and the International market is all ready to get the new one.
Though there has been no official confirmation of this, the Italian magazine Quattroroute reports Fiat is planning to christen it Punto EVO (not sure if Mitsubishi will be amused by this move)
Sergio Marchionne plans to begin assembly of the new Grande Punto from next August. The production is likely to take place at the production unit in Melfi. Several changes have been brought in including the Euro 5 engines (including the MultiAir ones).
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.
