The Punto Evo was launched by Fiat with the occasion of the 2009 Frankfurt IAA and although the name has changed, the car is actually a facelift version of the Grande Punto, which it will replace for the small car segment.
The car has received minor exterior changes, but features a completely retouched interior. With the Punto Evo, Fiat premiered a new engine valvetrain system, called the MultiAir. This system can be fitted to both petrol and diesel engines and among optimizing fuel efficiency and throttle response, its main advantage is it drastically reduces NOx emissions.
