Fiat introduced a facelift for the Grande Punto lineup in 2009, and it changed its name into Punto Evo. It was available in a three or five doors configuration.

While other carmakers started to build sportier versions for their hatchbacks, Fiat revived a former glorious brand: Abarth.

Fiat introduced the Grande Punto in 2005, as a successor for the Punto range, but bigger. It was offered with three and 5-doors versions.
