Fiat India launches Abarth Punto priced at Rs 9.95 lakh

The Abarth Punto comes with ABS (antilock braking system) and EBD (electronic brakeforce distribution) which ensure stability at high speeds.

The hatchback's engine is mated with a five-speed manual gearbox. The top speed is estimated to be at 190 kms per hour.

Abarth Punto is powered by a 1.4-litre T-Jet engine that delivers a massive 145 BHP of power, attaining a speed of 100 kms per hour in barely 8.8 seconds.

The 5-door hatchback is the first mainstream vehicle to break the 10-second barrier to cross 100 kms per hour speed in the country.

The hot hatchback gets Abarth badge, Abarth decals on both sides, 16-inch alloy wheels and wing mirrors & grille in contrast shade.

The interiors are done in an all-black theme and the seat fabrics get yellow and red color lining (similar to Abarth logo), adding some sportiness to the interiors as well.

Abarth Punto claims a fuel efficiency of 16.8.

Volkswagen's Polo GT TSI and the recently updated Ford Figo will be its main rivals.
