Fiat Petra (2007)

Thursday, 12 April 2007 10:53 PM Fiat Petra Discontinued in India: In April 2007, Fiat India announced the discontinuation of the Fiat Petra, a sedan that was launched in 2004 as a successor to the Fiat Siena. The decision was largely due to poor sales and the inability of the diesel variant to gain traction in the market. I think the lack of a powerful diesel engine was a significant factor in its failure.

Sunday, 01 October 2006 01:25 PM Market Reception: Despite its launch with some fanfare, the Fiat Petra failed to make a significant impact in the Indian market. The cars sales were disappointing, and it was eventually discontinued within three years of its launch. I believe better marketing and a more powerful diesel engine could have changed its fate.

Sunday, 02 July 2006 12:22 AM Driving Experience: Owners and testers reported mixed experiences with the Fiat Petra. While the petrol engine was praised for its performance, the diesel engine felt underpowered. The cars ride and comfort were also highlighted as positives, but overall, it did not meet expectations. I believe a balanced driving experience is essential for any cars success.

Thursday, 01 June 2006 02:01 PM Maintenance Concerns: One of the significant issues with the Fiat Petra was the concern over maintenance. Many potential buyers were deterred by reports of poor service support from Fiat for its previous models, including the Siena. This fear of maintenance issues impacted the sales of the Petra significantly. I think reliable service support is crucial for any cars success.
