TheFiat Bravo (Type 198) is asmall family car produced byItalian manufacturerFiat from 2007 to 2014. It was introduced to the press in January 2007 inRome, and later to the public in March at theGeneva Motor Show. A minorfacelift was available from 2010,[3] with changes to the front grille, door handles and side mirrors, new colors, as well as interior improvements.[4] The car was launched on 21 April 2007.
European production, at the Cassino plant, ended in July 2014, being part of FCA's5 Year Plan, presented bySergio Marchionne on 7 May 2014. It was replaced by theFiat Tipo and the similarly sizedFiat 500X. The Bravo was the first car to bearFiat Automobiles' then new logo, introduced in October 2006, containing a red background in a chrome frame.[5]
The car was designed at Centro Stile Fiat,[1] while Austrian automotive companyMagna Steyr engineered a large amount of the car's body.[6] CAD engineering and computer simulations were used on a very large scale with this model and the design was finished to a very tight schedule.
For markets in theEMEA, the Bravo was produced in Fiat'sPiedimonte S. Germano plant.
Blue&Me is a new feature which was first introduced with theFiat Grande Punto, and was fitted as standard on the Bravo Dynamic and Sport. Developed withMicrosoft, this system offersBluetooth hands free use with a mobile phone.
It is also capable of displaying SMS text on the dash screen, and it has built in voice activation. Another part of the system is the inclusion of a USB connector so that an MP3 player or USB flashcard can be plugged in, giving the car's entertainment system access to MP3 files stored on the unit.

In Australia, the Fiat Bravo was sold as the Fiat Ritmo, since Mazda Australia owns rights to the "Bravo" name (as used on a commercial vehicle). It was introduced there in February 2008, however, it was discontinued the following year, due to slow sales, only 463 units were sold in total. The Bravo was also built in Brazil from 2010 to 2016, and was sold there and throughout South America (with the exception of Argentina, Chile and Colombia, who receive the Bravo from Italy).
In January 2007,What Car? reported that Fiat was working on astation wagon version, speculated to be marketed as theBravo MultiWagon. Despite being a production ready version of the Bravo, it was never marketed. Other sources also claimed that this was actually a facelifted of the second generationFiat Croma, launched in October 2007.[7][citation needed]
The Brazilian built Bravo went on sale in 2010 in Brazil. Its available with two engines and three trim levels (five trim levels since 2012), the Brazilian-built 1.8L 16V E.torQ (based onTritec engine) fitted with a five speed manual transmission orDualogic transmission and Italian built 1.4L engine with 152 PS (112 kW; 150 hp) (withOverboost option) and a six speed manual transmission.
Trim levels are named as: Essence (1.8), Essence Wolverine Limited Edition (1.8), Sporting (1.8), Absolute (1.8) andT-Jet (1.4T).[8]
Brazilian production ceased in June 2016.[9]
The Bravo was powered by three different petrol and three diesel engines.[10][11] 'T-Jet' is the name of the new range of turbocharged petrol engines.
Some models of the 150 PS (110 kW; 148 hp) T-Jet version have a Sport button to give an "overboost" function. At the end of 2007, the new 1.6 L Multijet diesel engine was launched, and a more powerful 120 PS (88 kW; 118 hp) version in spring 2008.
The 105 PS (77 kW; 104 hp) version was available with the so called "Eco" pack which features changes to the car's aerodynamics and ECU, taller gear ratios and lower rolling resistance tyres. This gives better fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions (119 g/km) when compared to the standard car. This engine is alsoEuro 5 rated.[12]
A new 2.0 Multijet diesel was added to lineup at the end of 2008, that slowly replaced the 1.9 16v. In 2009, the Bravo got a new "eco" 90 PS (66 kW; 89 hp) variant of the Multijet diesel. In June 2010, two petrol engines were updated, the 1.4 T-Jet is fitted with the newMultiair technology, and the base 1.4 T-Jet was also updated toEuro 5 specification.[13]
