Fiat Palio Stile Sport (2011) Updates

Saturday, 17 July 2010 11:05 AM Fiat announced the discontinuation of the Palio Stile, including the Sport variant, from the Indian market due to low sales. The decision was part of Fiats strategy to focus on more successful models. The Palio Stile Sport, known for its 1.6-liter petrol engine producing 100 bhp, had been a favorite among those seeking a sporty drive. I think this move was inevitable given the competitive hatchback segment in India.

Wednesday, 20 January 2010 07:42 PM The Fiat Palio Stile Sport was praised for its performance and stability. Owners noted that the car felt very stable at speeds over 100 km/h and handled well with better tires. The 1.6-liter engine provided an amazing response in all gears, making it a joy to drive. I believe this stability was a key selling point for this model.

Tuesday, 24 November 2009 12:10 AM Fiat and Tata Motors launched the Palio Stile, including the Sport variant, with a focus on fresh looks and improved comfort. The Sport model was available in limited colors, including a striking Ferrari Red. This launch aimed to capture a larger share of the hatchback market in India. I think the limited color options added to its exclusivity.

Sunday, 30 August 2009 05:52 PM The Palio Stile Sport received positive reviews for its interior design, featuring dual-color dashboards and plush beige interiors. However, some owners criticized the lack of new interior designs despite the cars fresh launch. The cars spacious rear and sufficient cubby holes were highlights. I believe the interiors could have been more modern.

Thursday, 09 July 2009 01:50 AM Fiat introduced the Palio Stile Sport with a 1.6-liter petrol engine, offering a mileage of 13.1 kmpl. The car was known for its excellent acceleration and the fact that the air conditioner did not significantly load the engine. This made it a good choice for both city and highway driving. I think the mileage was quite reasonable for its performance.

Monday, 15 June 2009 04:54 AM The Palio Stile Sport was part of Fiats strategy to revamp its offerings in the Indian market. The car was marketed as a sporty version with enhanced features like central locking and a digital odometer. The price ranged from Rs. 3.41 lakh to Rs. 4.44 lakh for the Sport model. I believe this pricing was competitive but not enough to boost sales significantly.

Wednesday, 20 May 2009 03:38 PM Fiat and Tata Motors emphasized the importance of the hatchback segment in India, with the Palio Stile Sport targeting the 70-75% of the market that prefers hatchbacks. The cars sporty looks and comforts were highlighted as key selling points. I think this focus on the hatchback segment was a wise move, but execution was lacking.

Friday, 10 April 2009 09:21 AM The Palio Stile Sport was noted for its handling and stability, particularly at high speeds. Owners praised the cars ability to maintain stability even when cornering at speeds over 100 km/h. This made it a reliable choice for long drives. I believe the handling was one of its strongest features.

Sunday, 15 March 2009 04:31 AM Fiats partnership with Tata Motors was expected to boost the sales of the Palio Stile, including the Sport variant. However, despite the joint efforts, the sales remained low, averaging around 200 units per month. I think the partnership did not yield the expected results for this model.

Friday, 20 February 2009 08:04 AM The launch of the Palio Stile Sport was accompanied by a facelift that included new front, rear, and side designs, inspired by the Grande Punto. This redesign aimed to give the car a fresh and sporty look. I believe the design updates were a step in the right direction but not enough to revive sales.
