The latest version has external and internal design revisions by Giorgetto Giugiaro and revised equipment.
Two new engines are fitted to the revised Italian range: a 1.2-litre, eight-valve petrol engine and a 1.9-litre common rail turbodiesel. The previous 1.2-litre 16-valve and 1.6-litre 16-valve petrol and 1.9-litre diesel engines remain on offer.
The second generation Palio Weekend was first introduced in Brazil – where it is built – at the end of 2000 when Fiat also launched the second generation hatchback and (Palio-based) Siena sedan models.
