The '''Fiat Grande Punto''' is a [[supermini]] car produced by the Italian manufacturer [[Fiat]] from 2005 to 2018. It is the third generation in the series of the [[Fiat Punto]], and was announced in August 2005, and launched at the [[Frankfurt Motor Show#2005|Frankfurt Motor Show]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Fiat has a blue wonder in stunning new Punto |url=http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/fiat/punto/24475/fiat-has-a-blue-wonder-stunning-new-punto|website=Auto Express|access-date=27 July 2014|date=2 August 2005}}</ref>

In 2009, the Grande Punto became an entry level model sold alongside the facelifted, higher spec '''Punto Evo'''. In 2012, both were replaced by a revised model, called simply '''Punto''', thus resurrecting the model name of its predecessor.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.omniauto.it/magazine/17021/fiat-punto-2012 |title=Fiat Punto 2012 |publisher=Fiat Press |access-date=31 August 2011}}</ref> It is manufactured in Italy, in Brazil (from 2007) and in India (from 2008).

==Grande Punto (2005–2012)==
[[File:2006 Fiat Grande Punto Sporting T-J 1.4 Rear.jpg|thumb|left|Fiat Punto (three door) hatchback]]
[[File:Fiat PuntoPic.10.jpg|thumb|left|Fiat Punto (five door) hatchback]]
The third generation Fiat to bear the name Punto, codenamed ''Project 199'', the Grande Punto was unveiled at the [[Frankfurt Motor Show#2005|2005 Frankfurt Motor Show]] and went on sale later that year. Styled by [[Giugiaro]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.italiaspeed.com/2005/motor_show/frankfurt/review/fiat/grande_punto/1209.html|title=Motor shows|publisher=Italiaspeed.com|date=12 September 2005|access-date=5 August 2007}}</ref> the car is based on the [[GM Fiat Small platform]].<ref name="autocar.co.uk"/>

Whilst the model shares some of its name with the previous Punto, a large number of its components are new, including a new chassis and body shell.

The engines are the Fiat 1.2 8v [[Fully Integrated Robotised Engine|Fire]] (65 PS), a new 1.4 8v Fire (77 PS) and the 1.4 16v StarJet (95 PS). Four [[MultiJet]] [[diesel engine]]s are also available: two 1.3 16v units ({{convert|75|PS|abbr=on}} and {{convert|90|PS|abbr=on}}, the latter with a [[variable geometry turbocharger]]) and two 1.9 with {{convert|120|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|130|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}}, all of them with [[diesel particulate filter]]. The 1.9 diesel was replaced with the new 1.6 MultiJet starting the end of 2008.

All the engines are [[Euro IV]] compliant. In 2007, a new 1.4 16v T-Jet turbocharged petrol engine, {{convert|120|PS|abbr=on}}, became available. At the [[Frankfurt Motor Show#2007|2007 Frankfurt Motor Show]], Fiat introduced {{convert|155|PS|abbr=on}} an [[Abarth]] version by Abarth & C S.p.A. It was branded as an Abarth rather than Fiat.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fiatautopress.com/index.php?method=cartelle&action=article&id=20070903092031f8a48ebb2a115efb4a549c3bd5199653&group=1 |title=Press Files 03/09/2007 |publisher=FiatAutoPress.com |access-date=3 September 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070813203223/http://www.fiatautopress.com/index.php?method=cartelle |archive-date=13 August 2007 }}</ref>

The car's nose, headlights and front grill look reminiscent of the [[Maserati Coupé]] (both were designed by [[Giorgetto Giugiaro]] of [[Italdesign Giugiaro|ItalDesign]]).

===Non European Markets===
In Australia, Fiat introduced the Grande Punto in July 2006, sold only as the Punto; it was the first Fiat to be sold in Australia since 1989. In 2009, the Punto was discontinued in Australia, due to slow sales. The car was reintroduced in 2013 after Fiat began factory distribution in Australia, the car was repriced at a much lower price, that was more in keeping with its rivals. In September 2015, the Punto was once again pulled from the Australian market due to slow sales.<ref>{{cite web|last=Beissmann |first=Tim |url=http://www.caradvice.com.au/382822/fiat-punto-joins-panda-in-australian-exodus/ |title=Fiat Punto joins Panda in Australian exodus |publisher=Caradvice.com.au |date=2015-09-16 |access-date=2016-07-02}}</ref>

It was launched in [[Mexico]] in November 2006. The Grande Punto is placed above the [[Fiat Palio]] in the Mexican Fiat car lineup. Initially it was sold with the 1.4 16v StarJet {{convert|95|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} engine with six speed manual gearbox in five door Dynamic and three door Sport trims. In December 2007, the 1.4 16v T-Jet {{convert|120|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} variant was launched.

The Italian made Grande Punto was launched in [[Chile]] and the [[Dominican Republic]] in petrol and diesel versions. The Grande Punto also went on sale in [[South Africa]] in 2006, replacing the previous generation.

In the rest of [[South America]], the Brazilian built Grande Punto (called only Punto) was launched in August 2007.<ref>[http://www.fcapress.com.br/pt/fiat/verRelease/537.do Fiat Press Brazil: new Fiat Punto launched]</ref> Codenamed ''Project 310'', it is produced in the factory of [[Betim]], [[Minas Gerais]], [[Brazil]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.italiaspeed.com/2007/cars/fiat/08/grande_punto_brazil/0208.html|title=The Fiat Grande punto will bring new levels of technology to Brazil|publisher=Italiaspeed.com|date=2 August 2007|access-date=5 August 2007}}</ref> The chassis is an adaptation of the [[Fiat Palio]], a lower cost compact. Levels of safety were not maintained (airbags and ABS are optional on lower trim levels, and the highest one has only two airbags as standard), but the ride comfort is said to be the same.

The five door version was the only one available in the Brazilian line, and there were no plans for a two-door version (in Brazil, two door vehicles are only accepted for cheaper cars). The engines available at launch were the {{convert|85|PS|abbr=on}} 1.4 Fire 8v and the {{convert|115|PS|abbr=on}} 1.8 [[GM Family 1 engine|Ecotec-Family 1 X18XE]] engine that comes from GM-Fiat/Powertrain, and later the 1.4 [[Fully Integrated Robotised Engine|Fire]] 16v [[Turbocharger|TurboJet]], also available for the [[Fiat Linea|Linea]].

For the model of 2011, there were added the new [[Fiat E.TorQ engine|E.TorQ]] engines 1.6 16v and 1.8 16v. Produced by [[Fiat Powertrain Technologies]], they were based on the discontinued [[Tritec engine]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.uol.com.br/bestcars/testes3/fiat-punto-etorq-1.htm|title=Mineiro com coração paranaense|publisher=Best Cars Web Site|access-date=14 August 2010|language=pt}}</ref> All non Turbo petrol models produced in Brazil are [[Flexible-fuel vehicle|flex-fuel]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.uol.com.br/bestcars/testes3/punto-tjet-1.htm|title=The A volta do "foguete de bolso"|publisher=Best Cars Web Site|access-date=14 August 2010|language=pt}}</ref>
[[File:" 11 - ITALY - Fiat GP Mr. Dot.jpg|left|upright=0.75|thumb|''Mr. Dot'', Grande Punto's logo forming the letter ''P'' and representing a seated person driving]]
The Grande Punto was launched in [[India]] during the Delhi [[Auto Expo]] in January 2008, with sales starting in June 2009. The Punto for the Indian market was manufactured by the Fiat / [[Tata Motors]] joint venture [[Fiat Automobiles India Limited|Fiat India Automobiles Ltd]] (FIAL) in a new plant in [[Ranjangaon]], [[Maharashtra]].

The Indian Grande Punto was based on the same 310 project of the Brazilian Punto. In August 2014, Fiat launched a facelifted Punto Evo based on [[Fiat Avventura]] style with new front fascia, new front and rear LED lights and new interior (the same of the European Punto Evo).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://es.autoblog.com/2014/08/06/oficial-nuevo-fiat-punto-evo/ |title=Oficial: Nuevo Fiat Punto Evo |work=autoblog.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808054326/http://es.autoblog.com/2014/08/06/oficial-nuevo-fiat-punto-evo/ |archive-date=2014-08-08 }}</ref>

A related [[Sedan (car)|sedan]] car, the [[Fiat Linea]], was launched in the beginning of 2007 to replace the ageing [[Fiat Marea]]. It is built on an extended version of the Grande Punto's chassis, with a total length of {{convert|4560|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}, making it part of the superior [[small family car]] segment.

===Safety===
The Grande Punto was awarded with five stars in the [[Euro NCAP]] [[crash test]] for passenger protection, and three stars certification for [[road traffic safety|pedestrian safety]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.euroncap.com/tests/fiat_punto_2005/238.aspx|title=Fiat Punto|publisher=EuroNCAP.com|access-date=5 August 2007}}</ref> The most powerful engines have [[electronic stability program]] and [[anti slip regulation]] fitted as standard, and it is an optional extra on some of the lower powered engines.

However, in a later test in December 2017, the car was retested with a zero star rating by Euro NCAP, receiving 51% for adult occupants, 43% for child occupant, 52% for pedestrian and 0% for safety assist.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.euroncap.com/en/results/fiat/punto/29849|title=Fiat Punto|publisher=EuroNCAP.com|access-date=13 December 2017}}</ref> One of the given reasons for this is the fact that the third generation Punto was launched in 2005, making the car a twelve year old model, whose safety standards were never actually updated.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/fiat-punto-gets-euro-ncap%E2%80%99s-first-ever-zero-star-rating|title=Fiat Punto gets Euro NCAP's first ever zero-star rating - Autocar|website=www.autocar.co.uk}}</ref>

===Abarth Grande Punto (2007–2010)===
[[File:Abarth GrandePunto.JPG|right|thumb|250px|Abarth Grande Punto Essesse]]
The first car from the newly created (2007) Fiat owned [[Abarth|Abarth & C. S.p.A.]], the Abarth Grande Punto differs significantly from its donor car.

Initially the Abarth Grande Punto was released with a 150 PS (155 PS when using 97 RON fuel) 1.4 turbo engine, but from 2008, there was available an Essesse kit, which could be installed at official Abarth service centres rather than in the factory. Amongst various refinements included uprated brakes and suspension, the Essesse kit provided an uprated power output of {{Convert|180|hp|0|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.italiaspeed.com/2007/cars/other/abarth/09/grande_punto_abarth/essesse.html|title=Grande Punto Abarth to be boosted by arrival of "Essesse" kit in early 2008|publisher=Italiaspeed.com|date=21 September 2007}}</ref>{{Clear}}

The Punto Evo, a facelift version of the Grande Punto, was presented at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. It has two new engines, a 1.3&nbsp;L second generation Multijet diesel and a 1.4&nbsp;L [[petrol engine]] with the [[MultiAir]] technology. It also features a new navigation system integrated to the [[Blue&Me]] system called Blue&Me–TomTom.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.italiaspeed.com/2009/cars/fiat/08/blue&me_tomtom/3108.html|title=Fiat to showcase new navigation device developed with TomTom in Frankfurt|publisher=Italiaspeed.com|date=31 August 2009}}</ref>

A new Esseesse version was released in 2011, which was an optional upgrade that improved performance, with a 0–{{convert|100|km/h|mi/h|0|abbr=on}} time of 7.3 seconds. The Abarth Punto Evo was discontinued in 2015, after slow sales.
