Among the advantages of the new car can be noted: a sporty and dynamic style, the size of the car. FIAT Linea is the longest car in its class, which guarantees spaciousness for rear passengers; a roomy trunk of 500 liters can also be noted.

The engine of the T-JET is unrivaled. There are practically no turbo engines in this class. Style Traditionally, a car born in Italy is already gaining an advantage over Asian classmates. In the homeland of Fiat, a large number of different design studios. One of them, Italdesign Giugiaro, painted this car. In our opinion, the car turned out assembled and integral.

Specifically, in order to emphasize the Italian origin of the Line, a large number of “recognizable” parts have been developed, including the design of rims and caps. Interior to match the appearance. The main criterion for creating interior decoration for the company was the quality of materials and the convenience of the driver and passengers.

Rear passengers should feel comfortable. For example, with two child seats installed, with children sitting on them, the space in front of the sitting is not limited in any way. Plus, a leather-wrapped gearshift lever, a well-readable instrument cluster, radio control on the steering wheel and a rear seat armrest with integrated cup holders. Most of this equipment is already available in the basic configuration of the machine.

One of the features of the machine interface is the turbine performance scale. When you turn off the radio, a diagram appears on the dashboard screen, the purpose of which is impossible to understand until you read the instructions. This is a real-time turbine performance scale. A kind of toy for the driver. Sometimes you catch yourself thinking that I began to play with filling this scale and fuel consumption, exercising with the gas pedal.

The head restraints of the rear seats in the basic version, if necessary, fall flush with the seats, without blocking the rear view. The sizes in comparison with the main competitors are the best.

Engine The new generation of engines is a well-deserved pride of the manufacturer. With a modest volume of 1.4 liters, it produces 120 hp. But not 120 atmospheric forces, but 120 turbocharged forces. And there really is a difference. It feels like power is quite comparable to an atmospheric 1.8 liter engine, but with a much more humane fuel consumption (according to the passport - 6.7 l / 100 km). At the same time, a maximum thrust of 200 Nm is available from 2000 rpm.

Also standard equipment includes air conditioning and radio. Older versions have climate control and an mp3 player. By the way, an electric air heater is built into the climate system - immediately after starting the engine, warm air begins to flow into the cabin. The weak half will appreciate the illumination of mirrors in the sun visors, it is also full-time.

Since the manufacturer positions the novelty as a family car, it is primarily intended for a comfortable ride with the family. But if you want, you can drown the accelerator. Affect the Italian genes.
