In a continent called Europe, a company called Fiat makes a compact hatchback called the Bravo since 2007 or so. Wait, scrap that, it’s actually made due to the fact the Cassino assembly plant ceased producing it in July. The only way one can get a new Bravo these days is by buying a plane ticket to Brazil.
As it happens, only the Fiat Betim factory from Minas Gerais still makes the model, and what you can see in the photo gallery below is a mild facelift of the Italian hatch slated to go on sale locally in early 2015. Fun fact - the Betim, Brazil complex is the largest Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles NV plant in the world.
It’s curious how this outdated means of personal transport still lives on when you consider Fiat-Tofas will make an all-new Bravo sometime in 2016 thanks to a $1 billion investment. Still, this revised Fiat Bravo looks fairly curvaceous and modern.
“Mild” applies to the botox needle’s work on virtually every aspect of the five-door Fiat, including the front fascia, bumpers, wheels and cabin design. Except for a small color touchscreen infotainment system, there’s nothing really new about the interior unless a different steering wheel floats your boat.
Lastly, the technical side of the BR-spec 2015 Fiat Bravo is not that great either. Coming in four specifications and with a poor two-engine choice, this Bravo can be had with a 1.8-liter engine or a 1.4-liter T-Jet. Customers too comfortable to shift their own gears, rejoice! The 1.8 can be kitted with a Dualogic Plus automated manual, and we all know how jerky these gearboxes are in stop&go city traffic.
