Fiat gave a mid-cycle facelift to the Linea in international markets like Turkey way back last year. Now, though, the Italian carmaker has finally started testing the updated Linea in India.

The new Linea will come with a restyled front grille, re-profiled bumper, new fog lamp clusters and lots of chrome.
