Fiat introduces the sporty Tipo S-Design
Although the Tipo isn’t an unattractive car, it is rather nondescript. Perhaps in recognition of such an image problem, Fiat has launched the more eye-catching S-Design trim grade.
Added visual interest is provided by 18” diamond-cut alloy wheels that are complemented by a black finish for the grille and door mirror caps. Bi-xenon headlights, body-colour door handles and rear privacy glass are part of the enhanced specification too.
Interior upgrades include Techno leather and Airtex fabric upholstery. Also fitted is a touchscreen-controlled Uconnect infotainment system which is compatible with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The only engine being offered is the 1.4 litre T-Jet turbocharged petrol unit. Mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, output is rated at 118 bhp (88 kW / 120 PS). Performance isn’t exactly breathtaking – the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes almost ten seconds – but 47.1 mpg (6.0 l/100km) on the combined cycle is respectable.
UK on-the-road prices for the Tipo S-Design hatchback start at £18,145, while the estate version costs from £19,145. Deliveries are due to begin at the end of this month.
