The company has set itself a sales target of 1,400 units, with the deadline being the end of the current year. The vehicle is actually being produced and marketed by Sollers Naberezhniye Chelny, a unit of the Russian carmaker.
Russia is the 5th country where the Linea is produced or assembled, following Turkey, India, Brazil and China.
The Fiat Linea is based on the Fiat Grande Punto’s platform, but, unlike the latter, comes in a sedan form. The vehicle measures 179 inches (4.56 meters) in length, 68 inches (1.73 meters) in width and is 59 inches (1.5 meters) tall, with a wheelbase of 2.6 meters and a luggage compartment that offers a capacity of 500 liters. The vehicle’s design was created at Fiat’s Style Centre.
The vehicle’s engine range includes a diesel unit and two petrol powerplants. The first is a 1.3 liter Multijet that delivers 90 hp and 201 Nm of torque, while returning a fuel economy of 48 mpg (4.9 liters per 100 km) and emitting 129 grams of CO2 per km. The entry-level petrol unit has a capacity of 1.4 liters and delivers 78 hp & a maximum torque of 115 Nm. It emits 150 grams of CO2 per km and returns a fuel consumption of 37.3 mpg (6.3 liters per 100 km). The second petrol engine is a turbocharged 1.4 liter 16V unit that produces 119 hp and a maximum torque of 206 Nm, while offering a fuel consumption of 35 mpg (6.7 liters per 100 km) and emitting 147 grams of CO2 per km. Some of the engines are not available on certain markets.
