Fiat Punto Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1998–2003) — Second Generation
The second-generation Fiat Punto is a compact Italian hatchback built for city driving, offered in three-door and five-door forms. Here is what its engines, transmissions and equipment packages mean for everyday use.
Each Fiat Punto engine here is gasoline-fuelled and drives the front wheels, a layout that keeps the car light and easy to park. The 1.2 pairs with a variable transmission for smooth, effortless town driving, while the 1.8 with a manual gearbox suits drivers wanting livelier response and direct control.
Mini 5-doors — Fiat Punto Engines and Transmissions
Fiat Punto trim levels sit on top of the mechanical version rather than changing it. The 1.2 CVT five-door, for example, appears in ELX form, a better-equipped package adding comfort and convenience features. The same engine and gearbox can therefore feel quite different inside depending on the equipment chosen.
