The FIAT Brava/Bravo, launched in 1995, represented a significant step forward for the Italian automaker. It was a compact hatchback designed to compete in the popular European segment against rivals like the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Golf. The Brava, available as a three-door hatchback and a five-door hatchback, and the Bravo, offered as a three-door coupe, shared a platform with the FIAT Punto, but with a slightly larger footprint and a more mature design. The car was known for its stylish and modern lines, featuring a distinctive front grille with a prominent FIAT logo and distinctive swept-back headlights. The interior, although simple, provided a comfortable and functional cabin space with a focus on ergonomics and practicality. Under the hood, the Brava/Bravo offered a range of petrol and diesel engines. The engine options, developed in cooperation with the German company Opel, were generally known for their fuel efficiency and performance. The car was also available with a variety of transmissions, including a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic. While praised for its styling and handling, the FIAT Brava/Bravo did face some criticism for the quality of its interior materials and its susceptibility to minor electrical issues. Nevertheless, it remained a popular choice for European buyers looking for a stylish and affordable compact car with a touch of Italian flair. The 1999 model year saw a mid-cycle facelift for the Brava/Bravo, introducing subtle changes to the front grille and headlights. The model remained in production until 2001, leaving a lasting legacy as a crucial model in FIAT's resurgence during the 1990s.
