Fiat has officially begun accepting bookings for the facelifted Linea, which the company showcased at the 2014 Auto Expo. The booking amount for the Linea facelift is Rs 25,000 and the car is expected to be launched officially on March 4, 2014.
The updated Linea gets a restyled grille and bumper, new fog lamps and lots of chrome on the front. The rear comes with a restyled bumper and the number plate has now moved up to the bootlid. There are no major changes to the side profile, except that the wing mirrors now come with turn indicators. There’s a new design for the alloy wheels too.
The Fiat Linea facelift’s interior gets major updates. The new and more upmarket-looking dash comes in a two-tone shade. The steering wheel though is carried over from the current model. The centre console is all-new and gets a new integrated audio system (with aux and Bluetooth), restyled AC vents, and additional cubby holes. The instrument cluster now gets chrome-ringed dials.
The updated Linea will be available only with a 1.4-turbo-petrol T-Jet motor and a 1.3-litre Multijet diesel. Fiat will continue to sell the current-generation Linea as the Linea classic alongside the facelifted car.
