The Fiat Bravo/Brava is a compact car manufactured by the Italian automaker Fiat from 1995 to 2001. It represented a significant shift in Fiat's design philosophy, moving away from the angular, boxy shapes of previous models towards a more rounded and aerodynamic style. The Bravo was the three-door hatchback variant, while the Brava was its five-door hatchback counterpart. Both cars shared the same platform and underpinnings, with a focus on practicality, space, and driving experience. The Bravo/Brava were available with a range of petrol and diesel engines, ranging from 1.2-liter to 1.9-liter displacement. They featured independent suspension on all four wheels, power steering, and a spacious interior. The cars were known for their comfortable ride, responsive handling, and decent fuel economy. The Bravo/Brava proved to be popular in Europe, particularly in countries like Italy, Spain, and the UK. It was praised for its stylish design, practicality, and affordable price point. However, the cars faced criticism for their build quality and reliability, particularly in comparison to their Japanese and German rivals. Despite these shortcomings, the Bravo/Brava established a strong identity for Fiat in the compact car segment, paving the way for future models like the Grande Punto and the 500.
