The original Fiat Idea appeared before the international public back in 2003 and was a more practical and roomy version of the Punto, using the same units. Its release lasted until 2006, when the manufacturer slightly refreshed the model and carried out the first restyling and at the same time began production at the facilities of the Brazilian plant for the local market. In this form, it was produced until 2012, when European production was curtailed. In 2013, the world saw an updated version of the car with the Essence prefix, modified by the forces of the Brazilian division. It got its own line of powertrains, a retouched interior, a more modern list of options and a redesigned exterior. The model received a design in the current corporate style and began to look more like its original. It has elongated headlights with round focusing elements and reflectors, extending far into the wings. The radiator grille is a narrow ventilation slot decorated with thin chrome strips and the manufacturer's logo. Fiat Idea is a five-seater compact van. Its overall dimensions are: length 3930 mm, width 1700 mm, height 1660 mm, and wheelbase 2510 mm. The ground clearance is small. About 150 millimeters remain between the lowest point of the bottom and the ground. At the heart of the car is the Project 188 platform with a semi-independent suspension and a transversely located power unit. On the front axle there are McPherson struts and an anti-roll bar, and a torsion bar at the rear. Thanks to the two-volume body style and high headlining, Idea has a spacious luggage compartment. In the standard position, the car is capable of providing up to 320 liters of free space. If the backrests of the second row are folded, this figure can be increased to 1,420 liters. For the compact van, a wide range of small-displacement power units, mechanical and robotic variable transmissions, as well as exclusively front-wheel drive are provided. Petrol Fiat Idea are equipped with atmospheric in-line fours of 1.4 liters. Despite the modest displacement, they produce 95 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 128 Nm of torque at 4500 crankshaft rpm. With such a unit, the car accelerates to 100 km / h in 11.5 seconds, is maximum capable of gaining up to 175 km / h and consumes about 6.6 liters of gasoline for every hundred kilometers in the combined cycle. Diesel versions are equipped with turbocharged fours with a volume of 1.2-1.6 liters. Thanks to the turbocharger, their output varies from 90 to 120 horses and 200-320 Nm of torque. Acceleration to hundreds will take 9.9-12.2 seconds, and the maximum speed is 173-190 km / h. Fuel consumption is about 4.9 liters of diesel fuel in the same driving mode. Since Fiat Idea is primarily aimed at family drivers, it has a wide range of safety systems. The car is equipped with front and side airbags, ABS, brake force distribution system, light and rain sensors, parking sensors, laminated glass, 15-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, leather trim, audio system, as well as a cross-axle differential with a lock.
