Fiat Tipo is a new project with an old name. This compact sedan was first presented to the world as Project Aegea, as in the Aegean Sea, which is between Greece and Turkey. By strange coincidence Tipo’s predecessor, Fiat Linea was also made in Turkey. And this is also where Fiat Tipo is made. So for the Turkish market it’s Fiat Egea. And how did Fiat come up with Tipo? Some of you may remember a hatchback made in late 1980s and early 1990s. Fiat decided the Tipo name is still associated with the brand, and decided to use it again for its compact segment offer. Joining Tipo sedan will soon be a station wagon, and a hatchback.

I've just bought a 1.6 multijet and it's fantastic so sick of these testers slating these cars about plastics and road noise bs if you spend 20k expect refinement this is a budget car trust me it's good value for money can't fault it pulls like a train quiet and very comfortable great value for money
Agreed
this car designed for unconfortable turkish roads. never driven something this soft. just so peaceful to drive. very good job
unconfortable? which roads? where do you live?
Hi! i also drove the 1.6 120hp and i think it is powerfull enough, confortable enough, precise in all mechanical and techonological aspects, i like the design a lot. I have a fiat bravo 1.6 mjet 105hp and it has been very reliable, nice to drive in all aspects. So this new fiat tipo for me is a very good suprise! I think it suits me! ☺. Thank you once again for your program Marek! Cheers from Portugal
What I really like about Tipo interior is that it has relatively small screen but this small screen doesn't look cheap at all.
You deserve at least 1 milion subscribers...great reviews and high quality humor. Keep it up!
Thank you so much! I've been looking for a car that can fit my little octopus forever!
+Kev50027 I know. Many people were asking me about that ;)
I have the 2018 1.3 Multijet Lounge Estate. I am very pleased with the car drives nice, looks nice, loads of space and has never seemed underpowered. Only downside the centre consul is completely useless the storage compartment is set too far back due to the cup holders..... for me a bad basic design frustrating to the point of not using it except for taking a bottle of milk to work.
For some strange reason I'm attracted to this car as a basic car to do your shopping and commute. It's stylish, big enough and it's got the italian heritage. But getting a Tipo would mean I'd probably need to buy something exciting for the weekend :)
+magicaldream get motorcycle...
Thanks for doing these reviews in English and this Tipo saloon is now available in the UK. Before they only sold the hatchback and estate
Useful to know I could fit a small octopus in the storage box.
Turkey uses and loves this car
Nice Review Marek, for an Awesome Car !
this Tipo certainly looks great
you are very good for reviews and the car is very nice .very good job...
Great and honest review bro, thanks
Не раз уже убедился, один из лучших обзорщиков.👍
///// Macchina Fantastica!
really nice car! liked it alot
nice and macho car in its segment. locations for testing car are wow!
One of the best price/performance car in the market
nice video again!
Hi, Marek. Can you please do the test with a 1.6 turbo diesel Tipo SW with an automatic gear shift?
Thank you.
it's a good car. The interior is made of hard plastic but it has a decent quality and in terms of longevity I can say it's great. The ride is a bit firm and wind noise may be a bit higher than normal. Dash design looks much better in person, t's wide and bulky and feels expensive. The car looks great. I prefer corolla in this segment because its superior biuld and ride quality but Fiat did a good job and I think it looks hotter than Ford, Hyundai accent and Corolla.
Nicely done:)
How about 1,4 petrol 95 hp engine, believe it is old "fire" concept only with 6 speed gearbox. is it good enough for daily use, and is it reliable.
I like cars that look modern but in the same time conservative/like a normal car so the Tipo hits my taste really and I absolutely do not like narrow/tapering back side windows like nearly at all modern cars but the Tipo has nicely big windows so I can get there a great view through all rear windows. For me it's a really nice car (and Skoda Rapid or Seat Ibiza e.g. are too boring inside, Tipo is not a design wonder inside but has some pleasant parts).
what about stability of this car ?is it exellant or good ?
This might be the best car Fiat has ever released. I like the design very much, and the price is awesome too. I am looking for a sedan for around 20-25,000€ and i think i found a winner. Would you recommend this over the VW Jetta?
not in the same league or even close. there is a reason the Jetta costs around 50% more. this fiat is a competitor to the Peugeot 301 and skoda rapid league. the fiat is best in terms of material and finish, but last in terms of engineering and driving qualities. in fact, its driving qualities is dates some 20 years. so decide what you like more: road manners of the car and driving qualities, then the Peugeot 301 and skoda rapid wins easily. if the design and internal finish is what you prefer, the fiat is the winner. like always, Italians are good at design. not so in mechanical and engineering. P.S I cross tested 301 vs fiat tipo one vs the other together. really wanted the fiat to shine in that comparison, and the design and looks surely won my hart over the Peugeot, But the driving qualities ruined the party way to much for me, to even consider the tipo as a viable option.Compared this league of cars for example to Ford Focus or Skoda Octavia, that like the Jetta costs some 50% more, and the quality of everything jumps up dramatically. so choose wisely how much are you willing to spend on your car, and what is this car intended for. if its your second car in the family, these cheap options are more than enough. if its your first family car, that does all the heavy duty around the year, and Octavia or a Focus will do much better in every aspect.
I disagree with you on one aspect. My sister bought a new Tipo, the car interiorly looks good and simple but its full of hard cheap plastic, it feels very low quality.
To what you compare it ? if you compare to the likes of Octavia or Focus level then you are right. but if you compare to the Peugeot 301 which is in the same level and price as the Tipo, material wise, the Tipo is much better than the Peugeot 301 in that plastic regard. Compare apple to apple to draw a relevant line.
"The Italians are not good in mechanical and engineering". Agree: in fact, the modern Common Rail technology was not developed by FIAT and Magneti Marelli, for example. Ah, and Ferrari is French. Etc etc
Please do a Tipo SW diesel review. Thank you.
Grill ibspired by Merc CLA, taillights looks like cheaper version of Aston Martin around DB9 era, and headlights remind me of ford fusion 2k16 or that Dart U've mentioned.
If it would have durability like Dacia Logan, I would buy one without hesitation.
sheet, I wish I owned an octopus like that
Looks kinda good. I just think the competition is better.. Especially the focus also with 1.6 diesel engine with 120bhp
Nice sedan right there
we need a Tipo with the 2.0 16V or even better the turbo version from the Coupe!!!!
Maybe there will be one with the 1,7TB from alfa
Nice car
is this car Turkish made?
When this will be available in India .. Looking for Diesel version.
Fiat India is focusing more on Jeep brand rather than Fiat itself!!
Don't hope to get it in India before 2017 or maybe 2070 !! ;)
Fiat doesn't care about Indian customers, they just throw in old Punto and Linea face lifts!
They are happy with it and pray that their customers too be content with it!!
Wish they they launch something new and fresh for Indian market as they do globally!!
The humor is insane!!!, 😂😂😂
Is there a video coming that specifically answers our questions?
+ast5515 There's this one with English subs.
czcams.com/video/n4e2ppfKCTY/video.html
I'm sorry, I didn't answer your question about the platform. It's FCA small platform - the same as in Jeep Renegade, Fiat 500X/L.
Marek Drives CZcams sub notifications... Didn't see it in my sub box, sorry.
What about quality of construction? You don't mention that in your review, but it still is a concern with FIATs, right?
+Ricardo Silveira Seems solid. Fiats make decent cars these days.
Ricardo Silveira what is this, the 70s?
Very stylish
Your personal opinion, Tipo 1.6 multijet or Rapid 1.6 tdi
It's been ages since I've driven either of them.
What's the quality of the interior? Sound insolation ?
+Juraj KG (candyman3108) It's below compacts but maybe slightly above Peugeot 301/Citroen C-Elyssee or Skoda Rapid.
That's what I thought...
Juraj KG It's also significantly cheaper than compacts so for the price it's actually pretty decent car.
Yes,I will agree with you,it looks pretty good...and the price tag is really ok!
+J KG (candyman3108) Well i just read one review in Croatian magazine and they say that sound insolation is very good and that there is no trace of cheap plastic inside.
1.4l 95ps lounge is ok for my budjet..but what about safety and crash tests???
Fiat hasn't provided Euro NCAP with a test car yet.
3 - 4 stars depends on safety pack -sry it is too expensive, rather Škoda Rapid
4tom2u yeah that tsi engine is known for its durability am i right (no im not)
I wonder if you were serious or it was just a misspell on your side when you said "it's quite uncomfortable even when the roads get rougher" talking about the suspension....
I said "it's quite AND comfortable".
thank you for clarifying! :)
hahahaaa
ended up buying a Ford lol
@@MarekDrives You mean ""it's QUIET and comfortable". Quiet, not quite. But everyone heard "quite UNcomfortable".
looking for a rational but not ugly car I came across the tipo very late, just now and as this review doesn't point out really weaknesses I will check it at a dealer, but an estate car will be the more usefull choice, ...maybe my car in 2017
Any one recommend this car for a family?
Yes, I do recommend it. We have a Tipo HB, with the 1.4 Tjet engine. Very spacious (we have 2 kids, 10 and 14 Ys old), and its boot has a capacity of 440 L, enough even for long trips. Also, the car is very robust, and feel very safe.
Much prettier on the outside than... you know the rest...
Za krótki test.
+Robert Mediana Dobry od 15 minut w górę?
+Marek Drives Chociaż 10 minut.
Ew I don't want tris to be called dodge in Mexico :( but anyway. I think it competes with the 301 I don't know why they say it doesn't.
Large phone, New Nokia maybe?
Ordered 1.4 petrol lounge for 13500 euro to pair it with my old Stilo :)
+neuromancer13 Let me know how they compare back to back.
I received my white Tipo (1.4 petrol, Lounge) today! Smooth and very beautiful! Although I didn't push it on the road, the feeling I received was that compared to my Stilo 3D 1.2 Active, the 1.4 Tipo is a bit more powerful. A lot more automation and electronics as well, even though Stilo had almost everything.
Drum brakes hahahahaha... Did I misheard something?
+Vytautas Gečas Yes you did. 5:08
This version with 1.6L engine have front and rear disc brakes but other models have drums at the rear which is nothing unusual for cheap cars like this.
multijets has strange characteristics.. some of them burns 1 liter more and some of them burns 1 liter less or even more thats why some customers especially say "fuel efficient" and those who say it doesnt burn fuel like my car is right thats car to car thing
Kurwa jaki angielski :D
Y don't they introduce tipo in Indian market. Without introducing these models. Just simply they exited Indian market.
Who is insane enough to pay 20000 for an astra or focus... um no tnx, go across the border to a country where the car prices are reasonable and get your new car. Even if you pay additional tax it sure won't be 60%.
This is more a competitor for the french/romanian Renault/Dacia Logan and less for Renault Fluence or Ford Focus. The last two maybe be more expensive but they come with better build quality, better engines, more equipment. No sane person would buy a Fiat instead of a Ford. In terms of reliability I would buy the Logan because you know .. FIAT ... Fix It Again Tomorrow.
+Paul CCraciun Yes and no. Logan is based on the Clio (supermini). Tipo is a compact. It is priced more like B+, but has more standard equipment.
+Paul CCraciun hahhaaa... You will buy the Logan because it's Dacia, also known as cheap Renault and Renault is known for "reliability".
Don't make me laugh. Fix It Again Tony times are long time over.
+AdrianoCROST I'm not sure what I've said that made you laugh. Regarding the FIAT, personally i don't see one good reason for buying the Tipo.
it *looks* like toyota yaris sedan class (a+?)
i mean the design is great at front and no good from the side...
and yeah, 21k € sounds quite much for such a boring car. I'd rather get a 500 or even a panda ;)
+geltonassportbatis i would rather cut my balls off then ever driving a 500 or a panda...
+geltonassportbatis This is not a base model ! Base model is around 9000€
+3DamX1 haha +1
fiat nie fijat
it tried to copy bmw 3 series
+tino matic How do you know ? Every other car have similar shape on the sides in this class and that is only thing that looks like BMW.
Though the same thing, it does look like a 3 series
For that amount of money, you could buy much better car. 20k is a lot for a car without rear wheels disc brakes.
+Milos Zikic We're talking about top spec version. It's still cheaper than any similarily equipped compact.
+sic22l That is common argument in Balkan countries. "For that kind of money You can import used BMW/Golf from Germany" :)
+Milos Zikic What are you talking about ? It's cheap car and value for many is great.
+darko99x You are probably right because i don't know what better car you can buy for that money.
AdrianoCROST It is not problem to buy a car. Maintaining is. 10 year old BMW is certainly more impressive drivers car but You will brake bank pretty quick with repairs. There is market for both new Tipo and 10 year old 320i.
if this Fiat have 5 doors/combilimousine then he would be more succesfull!! 5 doors only got Škoda cars in every model (and that makes them famous ) while this others manufacturers are monkeys for that or they think that they are to elite for 5 door!! Because of 5 door Škoda is best seller and Škoda Rapid got 5 door too and she is in class with this Fiat tipo
leonardimas1 it is caravan/variant !! but the limousine like this with 5 doors they dont have !! same thing id with peugeot &citroen in this class
Roman Czifery and Fiat will be like always Light years behind of Škoda Rapid and all other Škoda models by everything
+Mr11ESSE111 well just wait for some reviews ... here in Slovakia and in Czech Republic the reviews were comparing the Tipo to Rapid and were pretty positive ... and the hatchback and the combi should be better as those should be designed for western europe unlike the sedan which was designed for turkey and similar markets ... still the Tipo will be probably a pretty cheap good equiped car which can be a difficulty with the Rapid ... as it can get very expensive very quick
It's not powerful at all and it's useless for daily driving ! Gas consuming like heck anc can't get 50kmh on a small hill
No thanks
