Fiat Punto gets a new Evo edition in 2010 featuring a new design which is more curvy and cutesy than the old models and inherits a few styling cues from the 500 models. It also comes with a more refined, stronger structure so it’ll be better to drive and safer as well. Moreover, the interior is also revamped and Fiat is offering new Multijet and Multiair engines for it. You can clearly see the Evolution!

The range starts with a new 1,4 liter Multiair developing 77 hp, then there’s a more powerful version with 105 hp and a range-topping 135 hp. All these engines are fitted with Start/Stop system an comply with Euro 5 standards (Euro6 ready).

MultiAir is Fiat’s new electronic system for dynamic control of air intake, cylinder by cylinder, stroke by stroke. This electro-hydraulic valve actuation technology is based on the use of a high pressure oil chamber between the camshaft and the intake valve, managed by a solenoid valve connected to an ECU. This way, valve lift schedules become extremely flexible and vary precisely and immediately according to engine air requirements.

As for the Multijet diesel powertrains, you get an extremely efficient 1.3 liter with 95 hp which can manage nearly 75 hp. But if you want even more economy, you may opt for the 75 hp version of this engine. Like the petrol units, these engines also come standard with Start/Stop and are Euro5 compatible.
