The Fiat Uno comes from the (worldwide) Fiat Group, which has manufacturing locations in 60 countries. Winner of the European Car of the Year Award, 800,000 units of the Uno diesel have been already sold around the world. The Uno is the first modern diesel car to be available in the Indian market. The car prides itself on offering the advantages of the diesel engine as far as running costs are concerned and, at the same time, the positive characteristics associated with a petrol engine like - low vibration, better mileage and minimum noise & exhaust levels. The reason for this superior performance of the Fiat Uno is its powerful 1.7 litre Italian engine (IDI Diesel, 4 cylinder, in-line), which gives a maximum output of 57 bhp @ 4600 rpm. In fact on highways the car behaves like mid-sized sedan, and in the city doubles up as small car. Another outstanding feature of the Uno Diesel is its generous boot-space. The car has a trunk capacity of 270 litres that can comfortably fit 5-6 normal sized suitcases.Brakes are disc (front) and drum (rear). Suspensions are independent McPherson strut with track control arms connected to the cross member, and anti-roll torsion bar in the front. Rear suspension is torsional axle with longitudinal tubular arm and connecting cross member.
