The Fiat Grande Punto may be made available in three new variants – Grande Punto Natural Power, Grande Punto Sports and Grande Punto Trendz. Fiat is evaluating these variants  at the 2010 Auto Expo for introduction into the Indian market. Aimed primarily at the younger generation, the Grande Punto Sport will come with a number of cool add-ons. This variant is a top end model of the Grande Punto range, sporting a 1.3 Multijet engine with a 90 HP power output. To make it more appealing to the Indian youth, the car will also sport a funky electric sunroof, a rear spoiler, sport red decals and dual colour interior leather seats.

The Grande Punto Natural Power, the new dual fuel version of Fiat, will sport a bi-fuel engine (petrol/CNG) with negligible CO2 emissions. At the same time, with CNG being substantially cheaper and more eco-friendly than conventional fuels, the car will prove to be a real ‘cash saver’. Thanks to Fiat’s superior technology, a user will be able to drive the Punto Natural Power for more than 1000km without having to refuel.

There is also no compromise on the boot space of the car as the CNG cylinder will be placed in an innovative packaging below the boot. Fiat is currently the largest selling brand of CNG powered cars in Europe with around 200,000 units sold in 2009. Upon launching in India, this technology and innovation is sure to change the way consumers look at bi-fuel engines.

The Grande Punto Trendz is a limited edition variant fired up with the powerful 1.2 FIRE petrol engine. The car’s Active Plus option comes in bright and vibrant external colours with sporty decals. The car’s interior has been tastefully done to compliment the bold exterior with a high-tech CD/MP3/ FM audio system also added to the trendy mix.
