In May 2010, Fiat launched the (then new) Uno. At the time, an innovative car, especially when it came to visual. And the little square design with rounded tips just pleasing critics and audiences

While also gaining visual overhaul. – With new grille, headlights, taillights, and bumpers – line 2015 hatch had to be worth the technology. To face strong competition (! Stand out there VW up and Ford Ka), Fiat brings to market the first national car using the Start & amp technology; Stop, available only in Evolution 1.4 configuration with manual gearbox five-speed – £ 34,990. In total there are five versions, starting from R $ 26,370 (Vivace).

And the Daily tested the novelty through the streets of Buenos Aires, Argentina, in a path of 30 km. Little, but enough to tease out its pros and cons.

HOW IT WORKS?

 Before, it explain that (the example of the automatic models) automatically switches off the engine during short stops, as in traffic lights, for example. To turn it back on, simply press the clutch pedal. According to the brand, the economy revolves around 20%, ie every five tanks, the driver saves. Official consumption figures were not disclosed

For those not into the system, or want to keep the air-conditioning (optional on all configurations) running smoothly, just press a button on the panel to disable the device.

And, to make reality technology in Uno, the engineering staff needed some trickery, as more powerful battery and alternator special.

Versions Sporting and Way 1.4 gain Dualogic Plus

In the Start & amp;. Stop, another bet (also mechanical) of One 2015 is the adoption of rates Dualogic Plus

But if Fiat revolutionized the exchange, the same can not be said of the engine. Continues in the same scene Evo 1.4 dual fuel up to 88 hp already known by the public

In practice the junction between the proper torque (up to 12.5 mkgf) and the smoothness of leaps -. Merits of the Plus version – during shifting helps make driving the hottest Uno. Of course, you can not quit stepping on, after all, this is not the proposal of the car, but in city traffic, the hatch proved well balanced, especially when you opt for the sequential exchanges through the butterflies behind the wheel.
