The new Fiat Uno will arrive in Europe late next year, according to reports.
The Brazilian-developed budget supermini will be built at the Zastava factory in Serbia, which currently makes the
Punto Mk2. Fiat has announced a �150 million (�130m) investment in the Serbian factory earlier this year in preparation for introducing the Uno.
The company�s European product plan describes the new Uno as an �entry-level B-sector car�, suggesting that it will be very competitively priced. Although UK sales aren�t definite, we expect prices to start from �6,000, under-cutting the smaller
Panda, which starts at �7,665. In Brazil, prices start from R$ 27,350 (�10,356), rising to R$ 31,870 (�12,000).
In Fiat�s European line-up, the Uno will slot between the
Panda city-car and
Grande Punto/
Punto Evo supermini.
The Uno is powered by two new flexi-fuel petrol engines; a 1.0 litre unit developing 73bhp on alcohol & 75bhp on petrol and a 1.4 litre engine kicking out 85bhp using petrol and 88bhp on alcohol. The front wheel drive supermini is geared through a 5 speed manual transmission.
