Product Overview

Fiat Tipo (Type 356) Sedan is an entry-level compact sedan in production from 2015. It is available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.2 to 1.6 liters.

Based on the Tipo hatchback, the Sedan has an awkward styling. Its engines are rather lethargic, and its suspension setup very basic.

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

Fiat Tipo hatchback introduced in the UK in 2016 (it arrived first as a saloon in other markets in 2015) This is the second car to use the Tipo name. The original Tipo of 1988 was the successor to the Ritmo, and it even won the European Car Of The Year title in 1989. The entry-level 1.4 95hp Easy hatchback starts at around £15,000, while Higher spec Lounge trim is £2,000 more than Easy. Sporty S-Design is another £1,000 on top of that, with the top-of-the-range Sport versions costing just over £21,000.

Pros

Cheap to drive
Decent fuel economy

Cons

Dull interior
Lack of fun to drive

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

The Tipo is inoffensively styled, something made more obvious by the ultra-chic looks of the smaller 500 family that we've come to know and love. It sits firmly within Fiat's pragmatic line-up alongside the Punto (remember those?) and Panda, so it's more about interior space and low running costs than eye-catching looks. Five engines are offered, along with three trims (four if you count the business-focused Elite) and a handful of options.

Pros

Sleek looks
Good range-topping engines

Cons

Lack of standard kit
