FIAT Bravo and Fiat Brava, Fiat Auto's successful three and five-door mid-size hatchbacks, have been extensively revised with major enhancements including a higher entry level SX specification.

Although the original styling concepts have been retained, much is changed under the skin, and every version now offers significant improvements. There is also a direct injection turbo diesel 1.9 JTD which features a fuel consumption of 52.3mpg. Pictured above is the Fiat Bravo 80 16v SX. All models benefit from improved safety levels, with passenger and side airbags available as well as the driver's airbag fitted as standard. Top speed is 107mph, with the Bravo achieving 0-62mph in 12.5 seconds and 13 seconds in the Brava.
