Fiat has launched the refreshed Linea in Turkey. This mid-life facelift brings with it fresh styling tweaks and a refreshed cabin.
Like most other mid-life facelifts, the Linea facelift now comes with a new front grille, re-profiled bumper, new fog lamp clusters and lots of chrome. At the rear, the bumper gets minor tweaks with an additional chrome strip and the number plate has now moved on to the bootlid. The side profile looks identical to the current car though.
Move into the cabin and you will notice it’s here that the designers have spent most of their time and creativity. The new three-layered two-tone dash looks refreshing and feels more upmarket. The steering wheel is similar to the current car, but now comes with a touch of silver and the centre console gets a new integrated audio system and more modern-looking AC vents with useful cubby holes above them. The gear lever, climate control knobs and the door pads, however, look similar to the current car. The instrument cluster, with chrome-ringed recessed dials and circular centres, looks great.
Fiat is evaluating the refreshed model for the Indian market and we can’t wait for it to come here.
