Initially offered with 1.2 and 1.6-liter petrol engines, the Punto was later expanded with a 1.9-liter diesel option, catering to those seeking fuel efficiency. The Punto's design, penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro, presented a modern, rounded profile with distinctive headlights and a spacious interior. It was particularly successful in the European market, where its driving dynamics and value proposition resonated with buyers.

The Punto's success story continued throughout the 2000s, earning numerous accolades and establishing itself as a strong contender in the competitive compact hatchback segment.
