Italian publication OmniAuto has created a rendering
of the Euro-spec Fiat Punto successor with a Fiat Tipo-inspired design. FCA has
not assured that a successor to the Euro-spec Fiat Punto is in the pipeline,
but have confirmed that there will not be a next gen Punto for European
markets.
The Fiat Punto successor is currently under
development in Brazil and is internally referred to as the ‘Fiat X6H‘. So far, little is known about the future of the
Punto hatchback for Europe.
It was reported earlier that there will be two
versions of the Fiat Punto successor, and the second version could be a spruced
up and safer iteration made for Europe. If a Euro-spec Fiat Punto successor is
in the works, expect it to launch in Europe around a year after it goes on sale
in Brazil.
Fiat’s new GSE Firelfy engine will be made in
Poland, and thus, they could be offered in the Euro-spec Fiat Punto successor.
The options may also include turbocharged versions of the 1.0-litre and
1.3-litre engines. There could be a performance variant too, likely powered by
the 1.3-litre turbocharged engine.
