The Fiat Avventura will have its market launch on October 20, even as pre-orders opened across Fiat’s dealerships commenced last month.

Based on the Punto Evo, the Avventura gets a crossover-like design thanks to body cladding, increased ground clearance and most importantly, the external spare wheel.

The Avventura measures 3,989 mm in length, 1,706 mm in width, 1,542 mm in height and 2,510 mm in wheelbase, and comes with a 205 mm ground clearance. All variants of the car will get 205/55 16-inch alloy wheels.

A petrol and a diesel engine will be offered on the car. The 1.4-liter ‘FIRE’ petrol makes 90 PS (88.73 bhp) at 6,000 rpm and 115 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm, and the 1.3-liter ‘MultiJet’ diesel produces 93 PS (91.6 bhp) at 4,000 rpm and 209 Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm.

The petrol will be offered in two variants (Active and Dynamic) while the diesel gets three (Active, Dynamic and Emotion).
