Fiat Palio Stile 1.1 and 1.6 Sport in IndiaFiat Palio Stile is competitively priced between Rs 3.49 lakh to Rs 3.90 lakh, ex-showroom. The big brother, 100 PS 1.6 Stile Sport, is priced at 4.31 lakh.
9 May, 2007 Fiat Palio Stile has arrived, the fuel-efficient version of the Palio heartthrob which went out with a thud a few years back. Fiat India last month launched the Fiat Palio Stile in two petrol versions 1.1 and 1.6, both billed as fuel-efficient. The earlier Fiat Palios - regular palio, NV and Sport - kissed the dust in India because of their fuel guzzling, despite great looks and a peppy engine. This time around, Fiat is determined to make an impression with the Palio Stile. The 1.1 litre version of the Palio Stile is expected to give 15 kmpl in city driving and 18 kmpl on highways. PriceUnlike last time, there is lot of competition around in the small car category, and more is coming up. Fiat has launched the Palio Stile 1.1 litre in the range of Rs 3.49 lakh to Rs 3.90 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi prices. The top-end Fiat Palio Stile 1.6-litre model is priced at Rs 4.31 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Unlike last time when the company was hobbled with a poor distribution network and shoddy after-sales, the Palio Stile comes with the assurance of the Tata-Fiat network. Palio Stile is available for sale at 63 dealerships covering 42 cities in India.
FeaturesExcept the base version, all other Fiat Palio Stile models sport body-coloured bumpers. On safety aspects, all features are standard across models. All Fiat Palio Stile variants come with Side Impact Beams, Energy Absorbing Collapsible Steering Wheel, Front Structure with Controlled Deformation and Reinforced Sturts, Anti Submarine Seats, Engine Immobilisers, Tubeless Tyres, Child Lock on Rear Doors, High Mounted Stop Lamp and Remote Head lamp Level Adjustment. There is also a Fire Prevention System (FPS) on all Palio Stile versions, besides a Double Crank Prevention System. There is a Reverse Gear Lock and Height Adjustable Front Head Restraints on all models of the new Fiat Palio Stile. The Palio Stile comes with beige interiors and a duo-tone dashboard. It is loaded with conveniences like a Power Steering, Low Fuel Warning Lamp, 12 V Accessory Socket and Cup Holders. Power windows and power rear windows are available only in the higher versions (Stile 1.1, Stile SLE 1.1 and SLX 1.6 Sport). The top end models also sport a Remote Fuel Lid Opener, Remote Tail gate Opener, Heater, Central Locking, Tachometer and a Digital Clock.
Fabric inserts in door trim and fabric line seats are standard across all Palio Stile models. The rear seats are foldable to make extra space for the luggage and there is a rear parcel shelf in all Stiles. The car comes with double-barrell headlamps with halogen bulbs, and fog lamps in the front.
