Fiat slash prices of Punto EVO and Linea range by up to Rs. 77,000

Fiat Linea 125s Front

While most carmakers in the country hiked prices of their entire portfolio starting New Year, Fiat motors have decided to reverse the trend by reducing the prices of Linea, Avventura and Punto Evo range with immediate effect. Punto Evo and Linea are now Rs. 47,365 and Rs. 77,321 cheaper respectively and it equates price cut of 7 and 7.3% for Evo and Linea respectively.

After the price cut, Fiat Punto Evo base petrol is now one of the most affordable hatchbacks in the segment at Rs. 5.25 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). On the other hand, entire range of Linea is now available under 10 lakh while its base variant is also the most affordable in its segment at Rs. 7.25 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).

Price cut is not a surprising decision from the Italian carmaker as brand has been struggling for sales. Fiat has registered its lowest ever monthly sales with just 266 units in November 2016 followed by 390 units in December. The carmaker has retailed 4314 units during April-November 2016 period against 5579 units in the same period of corresponding year, down by 22.67 percent. Lack of versatility in the product portfolio might be one of the major reasons for brand’s poor sales graph in the country.
