The Fiat Linea is a small family car released in 2007 by the Italian automaker Fiat as a world car in Eastern Europe, Latin America and Middle East. In India, the Fiat Linea is expected to be launched by end 2008.[1] It will replace the aging Marea as the largest saloon in the Fiat range. It is based on the current Fiat Grande Punto platform. The Linea was designed by Fiat Style Centre and co-developed by Fiat do Brasil and Tofaş from Turkey.
Linea's size is similar to saloon versions of other small family cars, like the Ford Focus, Renault Mégane and Opel Astra. Its wheelbase is 2,603 mm (102.5 in), i.e. 100 mm (3.9 in) longer than its sister models, and its total length is 4,560 mm (179.5 in) or 500 mm (19.7 in).
Launched in September 2008 in Brazil, the Linea is available with a 1.9 L 16v "Torque" engine with 134 PS (132 hp/99 kW), flexible for the Brazilian market (capable of using petrol or ethanol). Also in Brazil the Linea is available with a 1.4 L 16v T-Jet engine with 154 PS (152 hp/113 kW), the same engine used in Fiat Grande Punto Abarth in Europe, capable of using only petrol, as this engine is imported.
Linea is equipped with Blue&Me hands-free system, a Microsoft Windows Mobile based system with multi-language voice recognition and speech functions. Allows to browse mobile phone's book, reads aloud SMS and controls the audio system - using built-in USB port, one can connect PenDrive with music in MP3 and WMA formats.
In Brazil the Linea can be equipped optionally with a Blue&Nav system, an enhanced Blue&Me system that has a GPS system integrated. This GPS system doesn't show maps in a touch screen, but it has a regular display that shows some arrows and directions and you are also guided by voice instructions. You can either enter addresses that you want to go and other instructions by voice instructions just like the regular Blue&Me system or using the controls on the steering whell. The Linea is the first car in Brazil that has an integrated GPS system.

Quiet interesting!
Great Car.... Did anyone test drive this car in India....can you tell me from where can i get the detailed test drive report of Fiat Linea
Gr8 car and great engine ….loves the 1.4 120bhp engine…I think it would be a direct rival for Honda City and many other cars in the C segment and it is even capable of competing with the Lower D segment seadans such as Skoda Octavia, Toyota Corolla etc…
If Fiat Linea if priced well, it would help Fiat to regain its lost charm in India…I think it is gonna get launched in Mid December 2008
gr8………Linea has awesome handling abilities…good work Fiat
But Pricing,choice of petrol engine and ASS is going to be the very critical factor for FIAT for its revival in Indian market.
Hope Fiat India is coming out with good pricing and the petrol engine which delivers 120 bhp with good torque.
