Fiat introduced the Grande Punto in 2005, as a successor for the Punto range, but bigger. It was offered with three and 5-doors versions.

Fiat was known for being a good carmaker for the small segment. Over the years, it showed its skills with vehicles such as the 600, 500, Tipo, Ritmo, and others. It was the bigger classes that gave them headaches, such as the Argenta or Croma. But they rarely failed in the supermini or the small segment.

Gone were the straight cuts and the angular lines from the Punto. The Grande Punto came with a rounded bodywork, Maserati inspired headlights and an ascending beltline. The flared wheel-arches evoked sportiness and a muscular presence, even though in most of the engine versions, that wasn't true. It took the idea from the Punto to install the taillights vertically on the C-pillars. Last but not least, Giugiaro and its Italdesign Studio signed the design.

With a much better interior than on the older generation, the Grande Punto offered better instrument readings and more safety features. There was a good room in the front but limited on the back seats due to the short wheelbase. Its side windows for the rear passengers didn't provide great visibility. But no one cared. The exterior looked great!

For the engine bay, the Italian engineers prepared a wide choice of options. The three-door version of the Grande Punto was fitted with engines ranged between 65 hp and 129 hp. Apart from the top diesel-versions, which featured 6-speed manuals, the rest of the range was paired to a 5-speed manual.
