The bookings have already commenced at INR 50,000. While the official price would be announced at the launch event, it is expected that the new Abarth Punto could start below the INR 10 lakh mark. That’s not where Fiat Chrysler Automobiles India plans to stop. Following the Abarth Punto will be India’s most powerful compact crossover – the Avventura Abarth. More on that later.

The upcoming Fiat Abarth Punto will come equipped with disc brakes all around and beefier 195/55 R16 Apollo tyres, which are wrapped around 16-inch “Scorpion” alloy wheels for efficient braking and better control. The interior would retain an all-black theme from the Punto Evo 90HP but will use different seat fabrics and get red and yellow contrast stitching.
