The 1.4L motor develops a peak of 120bhp at 5,000rpm and 152lb-ft of torque at 1,750rpm, which is enough to carry the Punto to the 62mph mark in just under nine seconds and reach a top speed of 121mph. Those performance numbers are nothing to get excited about, but the engine’s broad torque curve and useable force lower in the rev-range means it should still be a fun drive around town. Fuel consumption and emissions are comparable with competitor engines in this size range, returning 42.8mpg on the combined cycle and emitting just 155g/km CO2.
The range comes in either three or five-door configurations and includes 17in alloys, sports seats, a leather steering wheel, and sports bodykit as standard.
