Fiat Avventura

The Fiat Avventura is a crossover SUV that Fiat built from 2014 to 2018 for the Indian market, essentially the crossover version of the Grande Punto in its 310 form. It was shown to the world at the Auto Expo in New Delhi in February 2014, alongside the new Fiat Linea and the 500 Abarth, and entered production at the Fiat plant in India in August 2014. It kept the chassis and suspension of the Indian Punto but stood 205 millimetres off the ground, with hard moulded plastic cladding around the lower body in the manner of the European Panda Cross, a rear-mounted spare wheel carrier like the Brazilian Fiat Idea Adventure, and the interior of the new 2014 Linea. It came first with the 1.3 Multijet 16V diesel of 93 horsepower, and from 2015 also with a 1.4 T-Jet petrol engine of 140 horsepower. An Abarth version with the same 1.4 T-Jet engine and 212 newton metres of torque arrived in 2015, marked Powered by Abarth on the tailgate. It competed with city crossovers such as the Volkswagen Polo Cross and the Toyota Etios Cross.
