While Maruti Suzuki still continues to reign the hatchback market in India, the premium hatchbacks from other European (and Korean) carmakers are slowly and steadily setting up a firm base in India. One of the front runners of this league is the FIAT Grande Punto – a hatchback that was solely developed with the intention of driving FIAT out of its recent global downturn; and at the same time, maintain the emotion that one relates to a FIAT product. In India, the Punto has completed an year of existence and though it hasn’t exactly been a high roller for the company, it has established itself as a niche product in India’s hatchback circus. The Punto is available in the country with three engine options – 1.2 / 1.4-litre petrol and 1.3-litre diesel. However, with the competition around the Punto increasing by the day, and players like the VW Polo and the Hyundai i20 making life harder than ever, FIAT has decided to launch another variant – the much talked about, gruntier, torqueier, more powerful ‘Punto 90hp’. And guess what, we have driven that car already! Read on to know what our impressions are about the new Punto variant…

A mileage of 16-17 kmpl is respectful figure! Thanks Motoroids for your review. Finally, this power loaded Punto will hopefully satisfy its fans. But if Fiat sticks a higher price tag on Punto 90 hp, Swift will continue to be a preferred hatchback
KUDOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
m speechless…..u guys are lightening fast \m/ \m/
Nice review guys! The pictures are simply breathtaking.Kudos! Go Fiat go!
Hey guys that was really good review including every nook and corner of the car. I m looking to buy the same.
Ah! great photography again..the test car no. “sticker” (TC-268J) and the MIDC background reminds me of the good old intern days..
n congrats again on the great review
I am buying it. White one ofcourse. thanks motoroid. i could make my decision too quickly, great photos. kudos and cheers.
Impressive review and awesome photography! However, was wondering 100 kgs lighter than Linea would mean close to 3 secs shaven off the 75 hp FGT Punto 0-100 timings
Well written.. seems like we have a good car in the view!
Great photos again!! kudos to the photographer, great job Ishan!you have a fan!
All that I can ask for now is a Full Black interior instead of the current boring grey .

Lovely review there! I just love the way this car looks.
If you have the detailed performance numbers for Punto 90HP, just like what you have updated for Linea T-jet, can you please update the same?
