Product Information

We don’t have data on the Tipo itselfbecause it didn’t featurein the 2022 What Car? Reliability Survey but Fiat as a brand came a disappointing 30th place out of 32 manufacturers (only Land Rover and Jeep did worse). The basic 1.4-litre petrol is cheap to buy but is an old engine and offers a best combined figure of 37.2mpg combined under the tougher WLTP rules, so expect mid-to-low 30s in normal driving. The turbocharged version of this engine is no better at 36.7mpg, but this is offset by significantly better performance that makes for easier driving. The 1.6-litre MultiJet 120PS with the DCT gearbox offers 1000kg braked, while the rest of the range including the 1.4 petrol and T-Jet, and the 1.3 and 1.6-litre MultiJet diesels with a manual gearbox can tow up to 1200kg. Engine Both trim levels come with LED daytime running lights but you can’t have the Tipo with full LED headlights, only halogen lights. That’s a bit disappointing given that full LED headlights are standard on a lot of family car rivals, including the Ford Focus. Since Fiat dropped itslower trim levels, the Tipo has had quite a high price tag. Indeed, it’ll cost you more than entry-level versions of the Ford Focus and VW Golf and only a little less than a top-spec Kia Ceed GT Line S.

Fiat Tipo Review 2023 | What Car?

The Tipo doesn’t have a particularly smooth ride, and is much harsher over potholes and speed bumps at low speeds than either the Vauxhall Astra or the Golf. When speeds increase, it tends to feel quite unsettled. If the Tipo wants to join the ranks of the best family cars, it has its work cut out for it. Indeed, it’ll have to go head-to-head with the Dacia Sandero, Ford Focus, Kia Ceed, Vauxhall Astra and VW Golf.

Latest Reviews

The cabin of the Tipo Station Wagon is perfectly practical and user-friendly, but it’s far from stylish and it feels quite dated. Mirror adds five-inch colour touchscreen interface, leather steering wheel and gear knob, rear electric windows, rear parking sensors, cruise control, 16-inch alloy wheels, front fog lights and LED running lights.

Fiat does not quote an official unbraked maximum towing weight, but the braked towing weight depends on the engine and gearbox choice. Bottom of the pile is the 1.6 petrol automatic, at only 800kg, so is best avoided if you plan to tow. Rear leg and headroom is sufficient for adults to get comfortable, though the middle seat is raised so whoever has to sit there gets a raw deal. If you have kids to get in and out then you’re unlikely to have too many problems – access is good and there are Isofix mounting points for child seats – so there’s not much to complain about from a practical point of view. The best engine of the lot is the 120PS 1.4-litre T-Jet petrol, which is responsive and quiet, reasonably priced and economical.Fiat gives you two driving modes to choose from, Normal and City. In Normal, the steering feels keen to return to the straight-ahead position, unlike in the smoother VW Golf. City reduces the effect by making the steering feel lighter, which also helps when you're parking. The Fiat Tipo Station Wagon is a family estate car for the price of a supermini. Find out whether its combination of space and value is a winner in our expert review. You’ve only two trim levels to choose from: Garmin and Cross. The cheapest of the two, Garmin, comes with 17in alloy wheels, cruise control, electrically adjustable and defrosting wing mirrors and all of the infotainment kit. You also get a Garmin smartwatch, which you can connect to your car. While it struggles to compete in some areas, the Fiat Tipo is at least impressively roomy inside. There's plenty of head and leg room in the front for those who are over six feet tall, and even if the driver is quite broad, a similar-sized adult will fit besidethem easily enough without rubbing shoulders.
