Auto India, Car India

Introduction:

The Fiat Linea Emotion is a variant from the Linea Family. This car is a mid sized sedan which gives you all the luxury and that too at a very reasonable price. The car has been a sort of a revolution for Fiat and also for the Indian market. Many luxury car features are added on in here. Watch out for this Fiat Linea Emotion, which is making its presence felt in the Indian market.

Exteriors:

The car is an absolutely new fresh look in the Indian automobile industry. This car has been made with keeping gin mind every small detail about its looks. The car is neatly designed and it can be said that it has its origin in Europe. The car looks very classy and elegant. The car offers a range off attractive exterior features, which makes this car design really crafty and flamboyant. Giving you a bit of detail, the bonnet is this extensive inclining stretch, with its front grille typical of Fiat. The nice oval headlamps make this car very cute looking from the front. The hood of the car is like a race car, flat hood which makes this car aerodynamic. And to the end, the rear looks just like a grand sedan. The rear tail lamps make this car very admirable.

Interiors:

Coming to the interiors, as I opened the front door of the car, I was really amazed, as to see the front end of the car. Inside was this nice leather upholstery and as I went in and sat on the driver’s seat, I felt even better. The car console had this dim yellow light in it, making it look really good. The dashboard was wide and contained all the normal stuff, like the glove box, the A/C vents, and the instrument panel. But all this was packaged in really well. The instrument panel has this nice feel and touch to it. Going back to the rear seat and I got one thing, that Fiat has made this car to really make its name and presence felt on the big platform. The car is very neat, great seats, head rests, cup holders and much more.

What is the new variant of the Fiat Linea; the Fiat Linea Emotion all about?

Well here is the answer:

• Driver seat belt warning with Buzzer
• Front seat arm rest
• Front glove box
• Rear arm rest
• Rear glove box
• Cup holders
• Double folding rear back seat
• Collapsible rear sun curtain
• Sun glass holder
• Leather covered steering wheel
• Leather wrapped gear knob
• Front seat back pockets.

Performance:

Fiat Linea Emotion, the name itself is so enticing that it really makes you love your car. Let us come to the basics under the bonnet, and what we get is a 1.4L FIRE engine. The car has been powered to a 90 brake horse power, at a speed of 6000 revolutions and the resultant torque of 115 Nm at 4500 rpm. These numbers suggest that the car is bound to be driven with all its mettle. The car boasts of a good power and the FIRE petrol engine proves to be a good configuration for the car. The drive is all filled with great thrust and also smoothness. The car cruises along the highway like it is just briskly going past through thin air. The drive is very relaxing, and all that noise of the engine just remains in the interiors of the engine. The car goes on and on without any problem in between, unless your fuel tank is empty. The Linea Emotion makes such a strong statement with this performance, that once you ride this vehicle, you would always consider this car in the first place.

Overview:

Well, Linea Emotion will ironically make you think practically. This car is a great facet to the Fiat line of cars and it has brought with it the reliability, and the brand name that Fiat has in Europe. The car performance is up to the mark and the car is an instant success here in India as well. The car is sheer pleasure to ride. Everything till now was same old things in a mid sized sedan, but Linea has made a revolution. The car looks wonderful, feels wonderful and rides wonderful. The only thing that comes to my concern is its availability of spares in the local market. The car has also a problem with its after sales service. The company also should rethink their distribution strategy. If these things get resolved, I do not think that the car would have any problems to really rule this segment.
