The Fiat Tipo and Fiat Tempra are two closely related compact cars produced by the Italian automaker Fiat from 1988 to 1996. The Tipo, launched in 1988, was a completely new model, replacing the ageing Fiat Ritmo and aiming for a more modern and sophisticated image. It was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and featured a spacious and functional interior, along with a range of efficient petrol and diesel engines. The Tempra, introduced in 1990, was essentially a larger and more luxurious version of the Tipo, positioned as a mid-size sedan. It offered a wider selection of engines, including a powerful 2.0-liter petrol unit, and came standard with features like power steering and air conditioning.
Both the Tipo and Tempra were praised for their practicality, reliability, and value for money. They were popular choices for families and fleet customers, and their success helped Fiat regain its position as a leading car manufacturer in Europe. However, their design began to appear dated during the mid-1990s, and they were eventually replaced by the Fiat Bravo/Brava and Fiat Marea, respectively. Despite their discontinuation, the Tipo and Tempra remain fondly remembered by many for their durability and affordability. The Fiat Tipo was particularly popular in the UK market, where it was one of the best-selling cars in the early 1990s. While both models are no longer in production, they continue to be a common sight on roads around the world, particularly in developing countries where they are still valued for their robust build quality and low running costs.
