Orders open for the new Fiat Tipo S-Design in the U.K.

The Fiat Tipo range is expanding to include the new S-Design, a car dedicated to drivers who don't want to compromise on style or substance. Available in hatchback and station wagon versions, the new S-Design dials up the sporty styling without compromising the classic Tipo qualities of roominess, functionality and flexibility.

This new version is immediately recognisable, thanks to its distinctive wide grille with glossy black trim, which continue around the edges of the fog lights and on the mirror caps.

It also encases the Bi-Xenon head lights, which make their first appearance in the Tipo family. New diamond cut 18-inch alloy wheels, tinted rear windows and body-coloured handles complete the look.

The interior has been entirely restyled with new Techno leather and fabric seats.

The Fiat Tipo S-Design includes the best of technology as standard, including the next generation Uconnect 7.0-inch HD LIVE infotainment system, fitted with high-resolution 7.0-inch touchscreen, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to allow drivers to access their phone's functionality while in the car.

These enhanced looks and equipment, are underpinned by the nimble 1.4-litre T-Jet 118bhp petrol engine. Combined with a manual transmission, it produces 139g/km CO₂ while returning 20km/L on the combined cycle and travelling from 0-100km/h in 9.6 seconds. The Fiat Tipo S-Design is available to order now in the U.K.
