Fiat Tipo Verdict

2/5
Honest John Overall Rating
In most quantifiable ways, the Fiat Tipo isn’t a great car compared with its rivals, trailing most of them in a number of areas, and by quite a long way in many of them.

+Comfortable and easy to drive, spacious, sturdily built, good value when compared to the competition.

-Not the best engines in the class, tiny touchscreen system, less gadgets than the similar Nissan Pulsar, advanced safety tech is optional.

The Fiat Tipo is capable family transport for an incredibly low price, and that will be appealing to many buyers. If you’re buying on a budget, and you look upon your car as an appliance rather than something to be enjoyed, then its shortcomings are probably nothing you couldn’t put up with. Then again, a Skoda Scala is also very cheap, while being a far better all-rounder.

Looking for a second opinion? Read heycar's Fiat Tipo review.

They say that ‘you pays your money and you takes your choice’. The thing is, what if your priority is to pay as little money as possible, and you don’t give a flying Fiat about the quality of what that money gets you? Well, that’s where the Tipo comes in.

In a similar mould to the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra with which we’re all familiar, the Tipo is a compact family hatchback with ample interior space and a big boot. It comes with a range of petrol and diesel engines, and while its styling is nothing out of the ordinary, it looks smart enough compared with rivals.

The difference is, though, that this car is cheap. We mean really, really cheap. Even brand new, prices start at a little over fifteen grand, and because it also happens to have catastrophic resale values, there are even bigger savings to be made on the used market. Even other ‘budget’ offerings like the Skoda Scala or Vauxhall Astra can’t be picked up this cheaply.

Now unfortunately, we don’t live in a world where you get something for nothing, so there are prices to pay for such a low pricestag. The interior is short on quality - in terms of both its materials and its assembly - while the more basic versions do without some fairly important items of standard equipment, a half-decent infotainment system being the most notable absentee.

The Tipo only has four Euro NCAP stars (out of five), while the engines on offer aren’t very economical and are merely mediocre on performance and refinement. In fact, the driving experience is pretty mediocre all round, with a slightly unsettled ride and stodgy handling.

The thing is, though, that with the majority of these shortcomings, they only really become a problem when you start comparing the Tipo with other cars.

Yes, it struggles in most areas compared with rivals, but judged in isolation, then none of it is stuff that you couldn’t put up with, especially if you’re looking to spend as little as possible. So while the Tipo is far from being the best car of its type, there’s certainly a place for it.

Fiat Tipo handling and engines

Driving Rating
Judged in isolation, the Tipo will be absolutely fine for most drivers, but things look less positive once you start comparing it with other cars.

Fiat Tipo 2026: Handling and ride quality

It’s not an uncomfortable car by any means, with a rather soft suspension setup, but despite this, it’s still true that most rivals - budget ones or otherwise - do a better job of mopping up the effects of a scruffy road surface, and that’s the case at all speeds.

Even on roads that look fairly immaculate, you’ll feel a tremor resonating underneath you that you just don’t feel in rivals.

The softness in the suspension also results in a floaty feel over crests and more body roll in corners, and that - plus the fact it's shorter on front-end grip than most rivals - mean it doesn’t feel particularly eager about changing direction. Its agility is further dented by its steering. It’s too heavy at low speeds, too light at higher speeds, and not very accurate whatever your speed.

Fiat Tipo 2026: Engines

The entry-level petrol engine is a 94PS 1.4, but we haven't had the chance to try it yet. We’ve have had a shot in the turbocharged version that delivers 120PS, though. It’s power delivery is eager, meaning you don’t have to thrash it too hard to make decent progress, but at the same time, it never feels particularly quick.

The six-speed manual gearbox has a rather mushy action, too. In the early days of the car’s life, a 1.6-litre engine with 110PS and a six-speed automatic gearbox was also offered, but we didn’t get a chance to try it before it was discontinued.

The diesel range once kicked off with a since-discontinued 95PS 1.3 which we’ never got to sample, and there’s also a 120PS 1.6. It’s slower than the similarly-power petrol against the stopwatch, but because it has a bigger slice of low-down torque, it actually feels a good bit perkier.

Fiat Tipo 2026: Safety

Automatic emergency braking is provided on all Tipos (along with six airbags and stability control) but it only works at low speeds and it won’t recognise pedestrians, only other cars.

And, when the system was tested by Euro NCAP back in 2016, they found it didn’t work very well anyway, and awarded it no points.

This contributed to a disappointing score of four out of five stars in the crash tests, and since the tests have become much tougher since then, it’d probably do even worse if tested today. Adaptive cruise control is available, but only as an option, and only on the top two trims. At least all versions get a space-saver spare wheel rather than a pot of tyre sealant.

Fiat Tipo 2026: Practicality

The front seats are roomy enough for folk of all shapes and sizes, and while the rear seats aren’t class leading for headroom and legroom, they’re very competitive.

You’d have to be well over six feet tall before you find yourself short on headroom, and even then, your knees should fit behind a similarly-sized driver in reasonable comfort. However, it’s not great for carrying three in the back, because the backrest of the central seat is hard and uncomfortable, and you don’t get a great deal of space for your feet. 

The boot is bigger than those of most rivals - if not quite as big as you get in a Skoda Octavia or Honda Civic - so cargo carrying should never be a problem. However, while the space is big, it’s not particularly clever. There’s a huge load lip that you’ll need to drop heavy items over, and no false floor to level it out. The rear seats fold down in a 60-40 split to boost capacity, but you’re left with a step in the load floor.

Fiat Tipo 2026: Quality and finish

The dashboard has a single strip of soft-touch plastic running across the top, but pretty much everything else is fashioned out of hard, drab-looking grey plastic that has all the tactile appeal of a house brick.

There’s very little in the way of sparkly trim pieces to liven things up, either, so the cabin has a very sombre atmosphere. None of the various switches or buttons are particularly appealing in how they feel, and you’ll notice the air-con dials moving around in their mountings slightly as you turn them.

Yes, this is all forgivable given the car’s budget status, but other budget offerings like the Skoda Scala feel posher and more solidly built.

Fiat Tipo 2026: Infotainment

Those who buy an early Easy version get a radio with DAB, Bluetooth, a USB port and audio controls on the steering wheel, but that’s it. Easy Plus trim gets a different radio with a 5.0-inch touchscreen display, but aside from the posher interface, no additional functionality is added.

Meanwhile, range-topping Lounge adds sat-nav to this system, making instructions difficult to see on such a small screen. When the S-Design trim was launched in 2018, a new 7.0-inch touchscreen system was introduced that then also made its way into most other versions.

This was better, if only by virtue of the fact it added a bigger screen and Apple Carplay/Android Auto, but even so, the on-screen icons were small and fiddly to hit, while the software was slow and glitchy.

Fiat Tipo value for money

Value for Money Rating
This is a super-important area for a budget car, because if you want your car to be cheap to buy, chances are you also want it to be cheap to run.

Fiat Tipo 2026: Prices

Prices for brand new Tipos began at just over £15,000 for the 1.4 95 Easy, and rose to almost £22,000 for the 1.6 120 diesel Lounge. The version we recommend most, the 1.4 turbo 120 in Mirror trim, came in at less than £18,000, while the cheapest diesel option was the 1.6 120 Mirror at around £21,000.

Compare those prices to those of rivals - even budget offerings like the Skoda Scala, Kia Ceed and Vauxhall Astra, and they’re a good four-figures cheaper version-for-version.

This really is a very cheap car indeed. New car buyers should bear in mind that the car’s resale values are pretty horrific, meaning they’ll lose a big slice of cash in depreciation, but it means that used buyers will get a lot of car for not much cash because somebody else has already taken the financial hit.

You’ll find plenty of early, low-spec examples for around the six grand mark, and that’s a lot of car for the money.

That heavy depreciation won’t help keep monthly payments down, but it’s always worth looking on Fiat’s website for deals and promotions. At the time or writing, we found the 1.4 Mirror being offered for £199 per month on a four-year PCP following a deposit of £2750. That represent a deposit contribution of £2250 from Fiat.

Fiat Tipo 2026: Reliability and running costs

Tested against the latest WLTP standards, both the Tipo’s petrol engines will return an average figure of around 40mpg, while the 1.6 diesel has an equivalent figure of around 56mpg.

In both cases, though, those figures are some way behind those of rivals. The Skoda Scala, for instance, can better the Tipo by around 5mpg in diesel form, and a whopping 10mpg in petrol form. Those are not inconsiderable differences.

Comparatively, no version of the Tipo will cost you very much to insure. Groupings range between six and 16 (group one being the cheapest and group 50 being the priciest), and most versions sit closer to the bottom end of that scale than the top. Many rivals are classified higher than that, and a result, will cost you more in premiums.

Reliability looks to be something of a mixed bag depending on which survey you’re looking at at the time. Fiat figures in the top half of the manufacturer standings in Warranty Direct’s Reliability Index, while the JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study puts the brand close to the foot of the table.

Fiat Tipo models and specs

Originally, the trim levels on offer were fairly straightforward. The entry-level Easy trim came with manual air-con, cruise control, remote locking, electric front windows and electric door mirrors, but if you wanted alloy wheels, you needed to upgrade to Easy Plus trim.

This also gave you powered rear windows, rear parking sensors, front foglamps and leather wrappings for the steering wheel and gear lever, not to mention a better radio. The Lounge sat at the top of the range, and added some chrome styling pieces, climate control, automatic lights and wipers, navigation and a rearview camera.

Then, from 2018, new trims were launched on a sporadic basis. First came S-Design trim, which brought in the new 7.0-inch infotainment system along with part-leather upholstery, xenon headlamps and various styling bits and pieces. Then came the Street, which was based on Easy trim but added alloys and various other styling touches inside and out.

Mirror trim then replaced the Easy Plus, and basically added the bigger touchscreen and more styling bits, and then the Sport was introduced, which took the S-Design car and added - yup, you’ve guessed it - yet more styling goodies. Later on, half of these models were dropped all over again, and the trim structure became Easy, Street, Mirror and Lounge. Confused? Yup, us too.

Model History

March 2016

Fiat Tipo range revealed

Shown as a full range of hatchback, saloon and estate, although there will be no saloon sold in the UK. (The saloon has been on sale in Europe since Januaryn 2016.)

The new Tipo hatchback provides exceptional roominess and is capable of accommodating three six-feet-plus adult passengers in the rear - thanks to legroom and outstanding headroom - within its 4.37m long, 1.79m wide and 1.50m tall dimensions.

Its boot capacity is also best-in-class with a volume of 440 litres, while the estate version adds an additional 110 litres of boot space which, at 550 litres, is also class leading. It can carry loads of up to 1.8m in length courtesy of an extra 20cm of length (4.57m); a flip-and-fold 60/40 split rear seats and completely flat load floor. The estate body style has a height of 1.51m thanks to the standard-fit longitudinal roof bars.

Loading the boot of the estate is aided by a low load sill with reconfigurable components such as an adjustable load floor and removable side storage panels to further increase the width of the luggage compartment. The roller covers can conveniently be removed with one hand and stored under the floor panel, while two lights, two bag hooks and four load-retaining hooks positioned on the floor provide added convenience.

The Tipo features numerous cabin compartments with a variety of shapes and capacities totalling no less than 12 litres. Easily reachable by driver and passengers, these compartments are perfect for storing personal objects, smartphones, game consoles, bottles, coins and much more, including a USB port for charging and connecting devices. Maximum comfort is assured by the excellent driving ergonomics and the convenient arrangement of the secondary controls which can be reached easily without the driver having to take their eyes off the road.

In terms of the model range, both the hatchback and estate will be offered in three trim levels with air conditioning, remote central locking, rear electric windows (estate only), electric mirrors, six airbags, DAB digital radio and Bluetooth connectivity with steering wheel remote controls on all versions. Full range details will be announced closer to the car’s UK launch.

The engine range will comprise five engines in total. There are two turbo diesel engines – a 1.3-litre MultiJet II producing 95hp and 200Nm and a 1.6-litre MultiJet II with an output of 120hp and 320Nm, while the petrol engine range comprises a 1.4-litre 16v producing 95PS and 125Nm, a 1.4 turbo petrol with 120PS and 206Nm and the 1.6-litre e-TorQ engine producing 110hp and 152Nm and combined exclusively to a six-speed, torque converter automatic transmission.

The 1.6 litre turbo diesel engine, fitted with second-generation MultiJet technology and variable geometry turbocharger, delivers remarkable fuel efficiency and low emissions: On the official combined test cycle, the Tipo 1.6 MultiJet II 120hp returned 76.3mpg (3.7 litres/100km) and produces just 98g/km of emissions. This engine can also be combined with a six-speed TCT twin-clutch transmission.

New full LED headlights, automatic beam and rear LED lights, plus sporty looking 18-inch diamond alloy wheels and dedicated ‘sport’ badge complete the dynamic and agile feel of the new Tipo City Sport.

The sense of sportiness is heightened inside the car, with a chrome steering wheel bezel, leather steering wheel and gear knob with detailed black stitching. A subtle chrome finish surrounds the air vents and handbrake button.

As standard, the new Tipo City Sport comes with keyless entry and go, ParkView rear parking camera, front parking sensors and electrically adjustable glossy black door mirrors, with defrosting and external temperature sensor.

The new Fiat City Tipo Sport, 1.0-litre 100hp hatchback model is available to order now priced from £20,695 OTR.

Available in exclusive Foresta Green, the Tipo Garmin special series offers orange elements - such as the line on the side, the 'Garmin' badge on the B-pillar and matte black details, including door handles, roof bars and pillars. The result is a strong and bold colour combination, which is enhanced by the new light-grey matt paint used on mirror caps, skid plates, front grille inserts, fog lamp surrounds, side skirts and front and rear bumpers. The exterior is completed by exclusive 17" black alloy wheels with orange elements and LED front and rear lights. The interior reflects the look of the exterior, as shown by the orange detailing in the seats.

The Tipo Garmin special series is equipped with the new 1.5 T4 48 Volt Hybrid engine. In addition to the new Foresta Green, the Tipo Garmin special series comes in Gelato White, Colosseo Grey, Maestro Grey and Cinema Black liveries.
