Fiat comes back on the market with the new Fiat Tipo 1.3 MJT as very good offer who gives to the buyer's outstanding ratio invested - obtained. In this Fiat Tipo 1.3 MJT 2016 Test, you can read about the specs, design and how it's like to drive this car. The Tipo will be a kind of replacement for the compact class models of Fiat, with what this model now has a very competitive price, which enters in the sedans segment from the lower classes, as Citroen C-Elysee, Peugeot 301 and Skoda Rapid.
Fiat Tipo 1.3 MJT 2016 Test - Design
The first impressions of the new Tipo outwardly that Italians again excellently done their work. The new sedan is sleek and robust enough and with included alloy wheels this vehicle acting even a bit sporty. Particularly attractive front cover, but unlike most competitors, here and the back is elegantly displayed, without appearing as the trunk is added to the body. The interior is designed with characteristic playful lines of Fiat and acts fresh and modern, and the choice of materials is good, particularly in areas where the hands of passengers touch.
Fiat Tipo 1.3 MJT 2016 Test - Performance
On this test, we had the model with 1.3-liter MultiJet turbo diesel engine with 95 hp and 200 Nm available from 1,500 r / min. From this engine, we certainly can not expect explosive performance, but is flexible enough and well worthy of the family character of the vehicle. For those who still want something more powerful, there is also available 1.6-liter diesel with 120 hp.
According to figures, the acceleration to hundred kilometers takes 11.7 seconds while top speed is 180 km / h, as respectable performance within the class of sedans with diesel engines of similar power and capacity.
Fiat Tipo 1.3 MJT 2016 Test - Manageability / Comfort
While driving the first few kilometers we are convinced that in the setting of the suspension, the Fiat engineers had in mind the bumpy roads. The suspension absorbs great cross holes and bumps and does not drain too much sound inside while driving on asphalt flatter, on the highway is extremely comfortable, with no major movements of the body up - down. Overall, a really comfortable car that's great adapted to each type of roads.
Driving dynamics is a bit weaker, which is expected in a family car. We were especially pleased because of the comfort doesn't suffer the full stability of the car - driving safely without skidding on the front and back end, except in marginal situations when the front runs out of the bend, which can be adjusted by releasing the accelerator pedal.
In translation, in the New Fiat Tipo, we should not expect to have fun driving - is not intended or designed for that purpose. Therefore, comfort and driving safety are at the highest level, and these are the features that set apart from competitors that fail to achieve such a good balance between these two characteristics.
Diesel engine what Tipo has is a little louder in stronger accelerations but subsidies at higher speeds. The sound of the wind and the tires is well insulated, especially if we have on mind the class, the passengers have no problem talking normally in the cabin even at speeds of 130-140 km / h. The engine has little vibration while idling, but it gets quiet while drives, the suspension does not transmit a lot of vibration inside. Given the class, Tipo is a rather refined car again, maybe better than all competitors in its price range.
Tipo has been specifically designed to offer maximum space and convenience for driver and passengers. Therefore, the cabin is extremely spacious and the front and rear seats -in the back there will be no problem to accommodate taller passengers. The boot has 520 liters, which we believe is enough for a family of four and all bags for summer holidays.
What is impressive are all the places where we can place trinkets inside. All are set in the right place - for example, we can place the smartphone in a front of the gearbox, which is an infinitely better solution than putting the smartphone in the armrest or in a drawer. Realistically, we all want our smartphones to be available at any time.
Simplicity in the cabin continues in the layout of the controls - all are well placed, large and legible and always at hand. Touch screen, although there are weaker graphics and does not look that modern, it's extremely easy and intuitive to use, and for those who like hardware buttons, they are placed around the touchscreen and additionally simple to use.
We have solid position behind the wheel - here almost everyone will find the ideal position. The seats are comfortable for long journeys and only lack in the full ergonomics is more tenuous visibility when parking in tiny places, so the recommendation is parking sensors.
The basic equipment of the Fiat Tipo includes the entire set of electronic stability control (ABS + EBD, VSC with Hill Holder, TMPS control system for tire pressure), four airbags, air conditioning, central remote, front electric windows, height and depth adjustment of the steering wheel, front armrest, lumbar support on front seats, height adjustment of the driver's seat, dividable rear seat, radio with MP3, USB, AUX and steering wheel controls. According to price class, the basic model is excellently equipped and there are no major flaws in the equipment.
The new Fiat Tipo has low fuel consumption - the small diesel is extremely frugal. On average, we measured the consumption about 5 liters (4.2 factory) in the city measured the 6 to 6.2 liters (5.2 factory) depending on traffic and on open road we measured 4.2 liters (3.5 factory ) or the Interstate 5 liters. Impressive for a family sedan.
Tipo cabin is made of solid materials, which are not overly soft on touch, radiating a sense of longevity, it is important for a car, in which will often travel children.
