Fiat Linea Classic Price, Features, Specs & Other Details

At a time when most Indian car manufacturers are fixated towards making compact cars, Fiat has made an unusual, but sound decision of marketing its new car as the longest car in the segment (4560mm). Fiat Linea, minus the amenities has resulted in the Linea Classic ‘budget sedan' that can compete with sub-4 meter compact cars.

While the regular Linea lineup starts at INR 7.12 lakhs, Linea Classic range begins at INR 5.99 lakhs. The range includes Linea Classic and Classic+. The former comes with both a detuned 1.4 liter F.I.R.E petrol and 1.3 liter Multijet Turbo diesel, while the latter only gets the diesel engine.
