The used Fiat Palio: a city-slicker’s ideal ride

The Fiat Palio, first launched in 1996, was introduced to the automobile industry as an economical and affordable super-mini. After manufacturing four successful generations of the student’s favourite, the Palio, Fiat has added some stylish exterior enhancements and a fine-tuned engine over the years to produce the latest model of the Palio generation, now available in light 1.2-litre engines as well as an additional sporty spec, the Palio Go. Because Fiat has been manufacturing the Palio for over a decade, there is a diverse selection of used Palio cars available for purchase.

The latest facelift of the Palio includes new styling changes to the exterior and interior. Redesigned headlamp and taillight clusters, styled bumpers and chrome touches on the sport model show off the superficial changes that are available on more recently manufactured used Palio cars. The interior also exudes modish elements such as soft-touch fabric upholstery, multiple storage spaces and touches of chrome that are significantly placed to add to the car’s sporty new look. Designed by legendary Italian car designer Giorgetto Giurgiaro, who was voted Designer of the Century, a recent used Fiat Palio comprises classic styling elements that are sure to catch the eye of everyone it passes.

The used Fiat Palio Active comes in a range of three variants, with power-steering and air-conditioning on selected models, to match your exact vehicle needs. The smooth, sleek lines of the last generation Fiat Palio give the vehicle a fresh, new look from its predecessors and its typical sports car additions highlight the prominence of the factory tuned engine.

The used Fiat Palio 1.2 Active delivers up to 54kW from its eight-valve engine when reaching 6 000 revs per minute. Its light 1.2-litre fuel capacity allows for impressively low running costs and offers a fuel consumption of 7.8 litres per 100 kilometres in a combined cycle of both residential and highway driving. With remote central locking, a heated rear window, a rev counter, a high-quality music system, foot and head rests, the Fiat Palio is kitted with all the creature comforts you can easily get used to at the affordable used Palio price.

All used Palio Active models come equipped with some of the best safety features available, including ventilated disc brakes, independent McPherson-type suspension struts, side-impact protection beams, an energy-absorbing collapsible steering wheel, a fire prevention system and anti-submarine seats, which prevent the occupant’s pelvis from being propelled forward in the event of a collision.

A used Fiat Palio Go, which is the sport version of the Palio Active, is available in the comfortable five-door and racy three-door range, all offering an impressive selection of comfort features. Compared to older Palio models, a used Palio Go is completely redesigned with bold styling and a subtly chiselled nose. The headlight cluster gives this Palio model a bold appearance and wide front body angle as it wraps around the fender spill and bumper, mimicking the aesthetics of high-performance sports cars. To add to the powerful stance of the Palio Go, designer Giorgetto Giurgiaro expanded the look of the deep-set grill, which now sits evenly between the revamped headlights.

What sets this model apart from other used Fiat cars is its 1.2 MPI technologically advanced engine. Designed for sport enthusiasts, the Palio is a cost-effective alternative to owning a high-powered sports car with a large fuel-guzzling engine, and is one of the most affordable sporty hatchbacks in the country.

A used Palio economy car comes standard with a range of well-appointed features such as power steering, central locking, a fire prevention system (FPS), a music system, fog lights and soft-touch fabric upholstery, all of which make your journey as comfortable as possible.
