Fiat Chrysler Automobiles India today unveiled its line-up of upcoming vehicles, including the Linea 125s, Avventura Urban Cross and Punto Pure at the ongoing Auto Expo 2016.
Fiat Linea 125s
The Linea 125s should not be confused with the Maruti’s ‘DDiS 125’, which is a suffix used for Celerio diesel as it produces 125 Nm of torque. In Linea, the 125s moniker stands its power output, powered by a 1.4-litre T-Jet petrol engine spits-out 125 PS at 5,000 rpm and peak torque of 210 Nm at 2,200 rpm, grabbing the title ‘most powerful sedan in its class’. The engine is coupled to a 5-Speed manual gearbox.
Expected to be priced higher than the top-end Linea petrol, the Linea 125s will come equipped with ABS and EBD, Fiat India confirmed. The company has spruced-up the looks of this go-fast sedan to match up with its performance. The display car here gets a flashy blue paint job along with glossy black treatment on the front and rear bumpers instead of chrome.
Fiat Avventura Urban Cross
The Avventura Urban Cross showcased at the ongoing Auto Expo 2016 is scheduled to launch sometime this year in India. It was designed by DC Design for Fiat India, based on the Fiat Avventura showcased at the Auto Expo 2014.
The major change compared to the regular Avventura is the re-positioning of tailgate mounted spare wheel to its original position. Further sports a new diamond cut front grille like the one seen on the Mercedes A-Class, LED daytime running lights, silver accents around skid plates and a silver roof rails gives soft crossover attitude.
Mechanically, the Avventura Urban Cross is identical to the Avventura.

The Punto Pure is the company’s new entry-level offering, thus, features minimal equipment with no body colour body fittings and steel wheels are standard across the range, although the car here had alloy wheels. The top-spec model will get ABS, but no airbags sadly L .
Carrying forward engine and powertrain options from the Punto Evo, the Punto Pure is powered by a 1.3-litre Multijet turbocharged diesel engine and 1.2-litre FIRE petrol engine mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox.
