Fiat India Automobiles on Friday launched the next generation Linea T-Jet, which, the company claims, will redefine the performance and luxury benchmarks in the segment.

The car boasts a new T-Jet engine with imported power train delivering 114 PS and a torque of 207 Nm and with this, the Fiat Linea will be the first car in the premium sedan segment to boast a turbo charged petrol engine.

The Fiat Linea T-Jet with 13 new features and seven class leading equipment sets new benchmarks in the areas of performance, safety, comfort, ride , handling and in-car infotainment.

In terms of safety, it offers standard four disc brakes, dual airbags, ABS with EBD. It has bigger 16 inch alloy wheels with wider 205/55 R16 tyres and longest wheel base of 2603mm and enhanced ground clearance of 170mm. As a special introductory price for the two variants, the T Jet is priced at Rs.8.84 lakh (ex-Mumbai) and the T Jet Plus at Rs.9.29 lakh (ex-Mumbai) while the same products are priced at Rs.8.55 lakh and Rs.8.99 lakh ex-Delhi, respectively. Fiat India will initially focus on two of the most important markets — Mumbai/ Pune and Delhi/National Capital Region, which constitute 60 per cent sales volume in the C plus segment.

Speaking at the launch, Fiat India Automobiles President and CEO Rajeev Kapoor said, “The Linea T-Jet is a product that has been refined according to the feedback received from existing and potential customers. It literally sets a benchmark in the C plus segment with its robust engine and the never ending list of features. Linea T-Jet is sure to give competition in the C plus segment, a run for its money.”

The Linea T-Jet is available in eight colours and will be available at Tata Fiat showrooms in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi and the NCR before it is launched in a phased wise manner across the country.
