The next model that Fiat will introduce for its Australian launch will be named Ritmo and will be officially unveiled at the 2007 Australian International Motor Show in Sydney on October 11, 2007. The Italian car maker has created Ritmo the mid-size five door hatchback to compliment the award winning Fiat Punto which has helped Fiat to return to Australia last year.
Fiat Punto is also named as Bravo in most markets and Australia is just one of the markets in which Fiat is using a different name due to another car maker already having the “Bravo” name registered.
The new Fiat Ritmo has taken its style, performance, and advanced diesel technology from Fiat Punto. For its Australian lineup it will include a 110 kW 1.9 liter Multijet Turbo Diesel and a new turbocharged version of the 1.4 liter engine from the Punto. Producing an impressive 110 kW, the new 1.4 liter T-Jet engine is light and packed with high performance that delivers significant fuel economy as compared to other engines that offer similar power from larger and heavier power units.
And just like the Punto, the new Ritmo has achieved a five star Euro-NCAP safety rating. It is also fully equipped, loaded with car features, and provide spacious and stylish interior that matched its refined and classy exterior.
According to David Stone, “The Ritmo name is derived from the Italian for ‘rhythm’. It is often seen in the phase ‘ritmo de vida’ which directly translates as ‘the rhythm of life’ and which is used to describe things such as music, dance, art and theater that bring pleasure, excitement and joy to life, a clear indication of the role that Fiat believes the Ritmo will play in the Australian car market with ritmo de vida also set to include driving!"
The pricing and specification of the new Fiat Ritmo will be announced with the sale of the vehicle in Australia which will start in October.
