Fiat India has planned a surprise for the Indian buyers this year and the manufacturer has succeeded in keeping the surprise a secret so far. There is no information available so far about the upcoming Punto upgrade but the news came out when an enthusiast has spotted a test mule of the model on Italian roads recently. Sources revealed that the grand new ‘Punto Adventure’ is on its way into the Indian market.

A test mule of the model has been spotted and few images of the test mule have been revealed over web. The vehicle was not at all wearing any camouflage on its body and thus there is no doubt that Fiat is going to launch the model very soon. The base structure of the model is going to be the same as that of Punto hatch back but some major alterations will be made to the exterior of the model as well as to the interior. Fiat has not revealed any specifications of the model and this is the first time ever the model has been spotted.

The paparazzo was able to capture the rear end of the vehicle only and we are unfortunate to miss the front end. From the respective spy images, it can be clearly noticed that Punto Adventure is going to have design of an absolute off road vehicle. We can expect the model to be a Front wheel drive model just like the base version of Punto. Under the bonnet, We can expect very few changes and the engine may remain the same. We could get both the 1.4 litre FIRE petrol engine and the 1.3 litre multi jet diesel engine which have been seen in the current Punto hatch back, 1.3 multi jet diesel engine is capable of delivering 90 bhp of power at the peak along with 200 Nm of torque.

The rear end sported a brand new bumper which seems to be adopted from a cross over model. A swinging arm has been attached to the rear to carry spare wheel and the swing arm comes with the word ‘Adventure’ coated on it. As per the information, the upcoming Punto Adventure is likely to get priced around Rs. 9 lakhs in order to tackle with the rival models such as Volkswagen Polo Cross and Toyota Etios Cross.
