Fiat Punto MK3

The Punto MK3 also named Grande Punto, codenamed Project 199, was unveiled at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show and went on sale later on that year. Again styled by Giugiaro,[24] the car is using the Fiat SCCS platform, a variation of the General Motors Gamma Platform.In 2009, the Grande Punto was facelifted, with the replacement known as the Punto Evo. It received a new front end in addition to revised rear lights and a new interior.In 2012, the Punto name was brought back when the Punto Evo was facelifted and given a similar front end to the 2005 Grande Punto. The new Punto kept the revised rear lights and interior of the 2009 Punto Evo, but not on the base 'Pop' trim level which reverted to the older Grande Punto interior.In October 2014, Top Gear magazine placed the Punto Pop 1.2-L 8v 69 on its list of "The worst cars you can buy right now", describing the car as "An outclassed elderly supermini that kicks out 126 g/km yet takes 14.4 secs to wheeze to 62 mph, and it costs more than £10k.”The Grande Punto in India went through a facelift changing the front face and a revised rear and giving it a more aggressive look and was named Punto Evo. This car also sports an SUV-like ground clearance of 185mm for diesel and 195mm for petrol to suit Indian roads.In October 2014, Fiat India released the Avventura, which was a crossover variant of the Punto Evo.
