Fiat revived the Tipo nameplate in 2015 by creating a new vehicle in three shapes: sedan, station wagon, and hatchback, and all of them were built on a budget in Turkey.

Fiat introduced the Tipo lineup in 1988 as a replacement for the Ritmo, and five years later, the Italian carmaker brought a refreshed version.

Fiat unveiled the Tipo in 1988 as a replacement for the aged Ritmo, who was on the market for ten years. It was available only as a 5-door version.

The name Tipo returned after two decades of absence on the market and it evolved to a compact sedan, but it was built on a small-segment car platform, from the Fiat 500 L.
