The long awaited replacement for the Bravo/Brava, the new 'Stilo' as it has officially been named (internally, project 192), was released officially at the Geneva Motorshow in March 2001.
Following on from the Bravo/Brava pair, Fiat are stressing the different characters of the three and five door versions of the new car. This time, however, there is only the one name for both models. The heritage of the Bravo can be seen in the design of the three door car, whilst the five door model retains more styling cues from the three door version than was the case with the Brava.
The three door car has a slightly shorter body, a much lower roofline, and the driving position is lower, whilst the five door car is Fiat Stilo 3-doorslightly longer, has a much higher roofline and has a raised drivers seating position. The latter model is described by the official press release as being a traditional car with the benefits of a monovolume added, with ease of entry, excellent interior space and raised driving position being quoted. The rear seat is also adjustable in two parts. The three door car is claimed to empahsise driving pleasure, individualism and performance, whilst the five door concentrates on on-board comfort, interior space (and the implied safety), versitility and a competitive price. The range comprises three trim levels (Active, Dynamic and Abarth), the two bodystyles, six engines (see below) and seventeen different colours.
The engines comprise 4 petrol units and two diesels. The former start with a 16V 1.2-litre unit (coupled to a six-speed gearbox) include 1.6 and 1.8-litre 4 cylinder 16V units and conclude with the 2.4-litre 5 cylinder unit (fitted with the Selespeed transmission) with 170bhp in the Abarth version. The diesels are both 1.9 JTD units, one with 80bhp and the other with an extra 35bhp thanks to a variable geometry turbocharger and an intercooler.
The suspension is a conventional MacPherson strut setup at the front and a modified torsion beam system at the back. Disc brakes are standard all Fiat Stilo Multi Wagon round on all models, and include Bosch ABS as well as EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), ASR (Anti Slip Regulation), MSR (MotorSchleppmomentRegelung) and a brake assist system. An ESP (Electronic Stability Program) system is standard on some models. The steering is assisted electrically, proportional to the speed, and includes two levels of assistance, selectable by the driver. One is aimed for normal driving, the other (with more assistance) for town driving and parking. Above 70km/h the two systems coincide.
The interior is aimed to offer class leading levels of equipment and includes fully adjustable seats and steering wheel, customiseable central-locking, various displays, trip computer, six-speaker sound system (with more available as an option), electrically heated and adjustable door mirrors, adjustable head restraints and various other 'goodies'. An automatic dual-zone climate control system with an air quality sensor (controlling recirculation) is optional as are electrically adjustable seats (with a memory), cruise control (standard on the Abarth), improved sound systems, CONNECT integrated communications and navigation system, steering wheel Fiat Stilo Abarth in the Wales Rally GB 2004 controls, rain sensor, automatic headlights, parking sensor, radar cruise control, remote control central locking, completely keyless entry and start system, segmented glass sunroof and more.
Occupant safety has been concentrated on, both in the design of the structure and in the provision of six airbags as standard (two front, two side and two window bags with two sidebags in the rear optional), height adjustable front seatblets with pretensioners, adjustable head restraints, side intrusion bars, fire protection system and more.
Other novel features include the now established 'follow-me-home' headlights (first seen on the Punto) and the new 'puddle-lights' which illuminate the ground beneath the front doors when the doors are opened ! The Paris Motorshow of 2002 saw the release of the Stilo MultiWagon. The estate version of the range it retains the same wheelbase, but is longer and taller than both the 3 and 5 door versions. As well as the cavernous loadbay, the interior is designed to be flexible and has many seating combinations. Some can be seen here. A revised rear suspension ensures minimum intrusion giving a wide, low area, whilst touches like the separately opening rear window make life with the car much easier.
2004 saw a mild revision to the range with various content, trim, material and colour changes. Significant design changes concerned only the rear of the 5-door, which was noticeably improved by the redesign of the light clusters. Mechanically, a new 1.4 16v engine with 95bhp replaced the 1.2 16v unit, whilst the 2.4 Abarth became available with a manual transmission as well as the Selespeed as offered before.
