Fiat India has launched the base Punto Evo Pure in Goa, following its national launch last month. It replaces the Fiat Punto Pure (based on the pre-facelift version) and costs INR 4,79,000 (ex-showroom Goa).

To keep prices as low as possible, the Punto Evo Pure is only available with a 1.2 litre FIRE 4-cyl petrol mill coupled to a 5-speed gearbox, which produces 68 PS of maximum power at 6,000 rpm and 96 Nm of peak torque at 2,500 rpm. The fuel mileage of the Punto Evo Pure petrol is rated at 15.8 km/L.


The Punto Pure is the base, cut-cost version of the regular Punto Pure, so there’s not much in its equipment column. Standard features include automatic door lock, rear fog lamps, engine immobiliser, light guide tail lamps, body coloured bumpers, manual air-conditioning, front power windows, tilt steering, 12V power socket, tachometer, MID, ORVM-mounted blinkers and full wheel covers. The car does not feature airbags.


Like the regular version, there are six colours available to choose from, Exotica Red, Bossonova White, Hip Hop Black, Minimal Grey, Bronzo Tan and Magnesio Grey. With the Punto Evo Pure, Fiat hopes to attract buyers looking for a sub INR 5 Lakh hatchback that offers all the admirable traits of a Fiat vehicle and at the commercial market.
