The Fiat Tipo and Tempra, both produced between 1988 and 1996, were compact and mid-size cars, respectively, marking a significant shift in Fiat's design language and targeting a broader international market. The Tipo, launched in 1988, was a revolutionary car for Fiat, moving away from the traditional boxy designs prevalent in their previous models. It was a compact hatchback available in three-door, five-door, and station wagon configurations, designed by I.DE.A Institute, a renowned Italian design consultancy. The Tipo's success lay in its efficient and modern design, offering a spacious interior, excellent fuel economy, and a range of economical engines. It was popular in Europe, particularly in its home market Italy, and was even exported to South America and other regions. The Tempra, launched in 1990, was built on the same platform as the Tipo but positioned as a larger and more luxurious model. It was available as a four-door saloon and a five-door estate, boasting a more conventional design compared to its smaller sibling. The Tempra focused on comfort and refinement, offering a larger interior with more sophisticated appointments. It sported a wider range of engines, including powerful 2.0-liter petrol and 1.9-liter diesel units, and also offered a 16-valve version, aimed at sportier drivers. Despite its popularity in Italy, the Tempra struggled to replicate the success of the Tipo in other markets, facing stiff competition from established European rivals. Both the Tipo and Tempra were praised for their robust build quality, reliable engineering, and value for money, leaving a lasting legacy in Fiat's history, even as they were replaced by newer models in the late 1990s.
