Fiat Linea has made itself available in a new refreshed avatar in Turkey. The renewed Fiat Linea has undertaken the mid-life facelift and comes with a host of changes in terms of the styling and a refreshed cabin.
The facelift of the Fiat Linea starts off with the refreshed front grille, re-profiled bumper; new fog lamp clusters and comes with loads of chrome for a premium feel. On the back end of the car changes arrive in the form of minor tweaks with an additional chrome strip. The number plate has now moved on to the boot lid. However, the side profile seems to have been forsaken in the mid cycle facelift and looks pretty much a chip off the old car.
The inside is where most of the action takes place and this is where you will notice sweat and toil of the designers. The dash board looks way above its class and comes in a new three-layered two-tone style. The steering wheel is not much alien from the current car, but still manages to have a place of its own with the bits of silver while the centre console gets company in the form a new integrated audio system. The AC vents also sport a modern look and come with useful cubby holes above them. The gear lever, climate control knobs and the door pads are still kept untouched and look similar to the current car. The instrument cluster, with chrome-ringed recessed dials and circular centres, looks great.
The company is looking at the viability of bringing the new Linea for the Indian market as the current variant has really done well. The current Fiat Linea is arguably the best in terms of the ride and handling at its price point and looks way above its class. The Fiat Linea competes with the like of Skoda Rapid, Volkswagen Vento and the Nissan Sunny.
