The Fiat Tipo and Fiat Tempra were two distinct models produced by Fiat, though often confused due to their overlapping production years and shared platform. The Fiat Tipo, launched in 1988, was a compact family hatchback designed to compete with the likes of the Ford Escort and Volkswagen Golf. It was a significant departure from previous Fiats, boasting a modern design with aerodynamic lines, a spacious interior, and a focus on safety features. The Tipo was offered in three body styles: a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, and a four-door saloon. It was powered by a range of petrol and diesel engines, with options ranging from small, fuel-efficient units to more powerful, performance-oriented engines. The Fiat Tempra, introduced in 1990, was a larger family saloon aimed at a more refined and executive audience. Built on the same platform as the Tipo, the Tempra borrowed many design cues from its hatchback sibling. It was available with a wider range of engine options, including a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine. The Tempra also benefitted from a higher level of standard equipment, including features such as air conditioning and a sunroof. Both the Tipo and Tempra were successful models for Fiat, with the Tipo particularly popular in Europe. They helped to revive the Italian automaker's fortunes after a period of decline in the 1980s. Despite the launch of new models, the Tipo and Tempra remained in production until 1995 and 1996 respectively, making significant contributions to the Fiat brand and the European automotive landscape.
