Fiat India Will Launch Two More Cars In India This Year, Punto Avventura And 500 Abarth

On Tuesday we saw the launch of Fiat Punto EVO in New Delhi. Fiat India MD and President, Nagesh Basavanhalli revealed the timeline of cars to come to India this year. At the Auto Expo he did mention that at least 4 new cars will come to town. And after the Punto EVO launch he said the next in line to come is Punto Aventura, which is a more rugged version of the Punto for people who like to offroad. Avventura will see the Indian sun in the next 60 days.

The other one to come to India will be the premium hatchback from Fiat called Fiat 500 Abarth. The company had introduced the 500 series in India about a decade ago that did not do well with the masses. At that time the customer was not mature enough. However, now the time seems to be right for the company to introduce this premium hatchback as there is demand in this segment as well. The Abarth edition of Fiat 500 should be available for around Rs 22 lakhs that will come by the end of the year.

Fiat has its task cut out for the next couple of months. They need to pull all their weight around so that they can capture a decent size of the market to grow. Otherwise we might see the same story repeated, which happened half a decade ago.
