When I saw Palio Stile for the first time, it was the stunning exteriors of the car that made me spellbound. Today the potential car buyer needs a fine blend of style, technology, comfort and fuel efficiency in a single pack and you get it in Palio Stile. The Italian car maker has put in a lot of efforts in making the design of Palio class apart. I liked the smart and trendy look of the make. The design is soft, simple and pure.

The Double Barrel Clear Lens Halogen Headlamps of Palio Stile catch the eye of all at the outset. The headlamps are not just a show business but offer a clear view as well. The car has been decked up with Internally Adjustable ORVM and beautiful Front Fog Lamp. Moreover the Body Colored Bumpers and the Rear Demister help the car steal the thunder. Also the Alloy Wheels in Stile add that extra bit of beauty to the vehicle. All in all Stile looks stylish and elegant.

Interior Comfort

Fiat is very particular about the internal comfort of the occupants and Palio Stile too is not an exception. You can see an array of comfort and convenience features invested in the make. To name a few we have AC, Front and Rear Power Windows, Child lock which is a common safety measure available nowadays. Among the other important features, mention I must the Power Steering, 12 V Accessory Sock, Remote Tail gate Opener, Remote Fuel Lid Opener, Central Locking, Tachometer, Heater, Digital Clock and Magazine Pockets. All these features assure a comfortable drive indeed.

Interior Measurements

Fiat Palio Stile is a car having enough space and great comfort. The headroom of Palio of 84 cm is pretty impressive and the width of 134 cm. The boot space of the car is of 260 liters, which by folding the rear seat can be expanded to 950 liters.

Performance

The all new Fiat is equipped with a 1.1L 57bhp 4 cylinder FIRE Inline engine with the displacement of 1108 cc. The engine gets powered by the Fully Integrated Robotized Engine (F.I.R.E) and comes with the new 32-bit Engine Management system which enables the car to perform silently. The in line petrol engine of Palio Stile can churn out the maximum power of 52PS @ 5250 rpm and the maximum torque of 92Nm @2750 rpm. This makes the vehicle deliver high performance and bring better fuel efficiency. The car comes with five speed manual transmission gearbox. The car offers the average of 11 kmpl in cities and that of 15 on highways which are excellent stats. The car can attain the maximum speed of 137 kmph. This is a four door hatchback which can accommodate five occupants merrily. The car complies with the BS III emission norms.

Overview

All in all I would call this car a great deal for Indian roads. Elegant exteriors and equally beautiful interiors, powerful car engine, high performance and excellent fuel efficiency make Stile a popular model. Stile comes with Hydraulic, Dual-diagonal split, Servo assisted brake system which is a great help in de-accelerating the car. The car is more spacious than many others present in the market today. However I think the quality of the interior could have been better. Moreover, the gear shift is not that smooth.

The New Delhi Ex Showroom price of the car is Rs. 3, 41,243 and I would call Fiat Palio Stile 1.1 SL a good value for your money.
