Fiat Punto

What kind of car is the Fiat Punto?

The Fiat Punto is a small hatchback in Europe’s supermini class. It gave Fiat a compact car with room for everyday use. The first Punto arrived in 1993 as the successor to the Uno, with design by Giorgetto Giugiaro.

Punto II is listed for 1999–2009, while Punto III ran from 2005 to 2018. Their dates overlap because the newer generation arrived while the earlier one was still represented in some markets. Punto III was the final generation of the model.

Generations and changes

Punto II carried Fiat’s small-hatchback formula into a new generation. Punto III arrived as the Grande Punto in 2005, with styling developed by Italdesign-Giugiaro and Fiat’s Centro Stile. It brought a larger, more equipped interpretation of the model before continuing under the Punto name.
