2016 Fiat Abarth Punto Road Test
Fiat has discontinued all cars from the portfolio

Fiat Punto, Linea – The Fiat Punto and Linea were launched more than a decade back and got a few facelifts in between. The common engines on these cars were the 1.4-litre NA petrol, 1.4-litre turbo petrol and the 1.3-litre MJD diesel while the Punto also got a smaller 1.2-litre NA petrol. The Abarth and T-Jet versions got the turbo petrol engine. None of these engines are BS6 compliant and sales of these cars had also become almost negligible off late which is why FCA has plugged the plug on these cars. Needless to say, even the Avventura and Urban Cross are discontinued.

2017 Toyota Etios Facelift Test Drive
The Etios siblings won’t get any replacement for now

Toyota Etios, Etios Liva – The Toyota Etios siblings were launched long back and these cars became popular with both private buyers as well as customers in the fleet segments. These cars are known for their durable nature and fuel efficiency. With modern rivals being launched, private buyers started losing interest in these cars while cab buyers have been happily lapping these up. The Etios got 1.5-litre petrol and 1.4-litre diesel engines while the Liva got a 1.2-litre petrol engine and the same 1.4-litre diesel engine. Toyota had also launched a Liva Sportivo which came with the bigger petrol engine. These engines aren’t BS6 compliant and since these cars are fairly old now, Toyota has discontinued them. The Etios Cross is also discontinued.
