TheFiat Panorama is a 3-doorstation wagon version of theFiat 147, asubcompact car produced in South America by Italian automakerFiat. The Panorama was built in Brazil and released in March 1980 as one of the first small station wagons to be produced there. The Panorama was phased out in 1986 to give its market toElba/Duna Weekend.
Some current cars available in that market were theVolkswagen Brasilia,Volkswagen Variant,Ford Belina andChevrolet Caravan. Some time later, there wereChevrolet Marajó (end of 1980) andVolkswagen Parati (1982).
The mechanicals of the 147 were adapted for a heavier weight. The appeal of Panorama was the economy of space and fuel. The length was the smaller of all Brazilian wagons (3924 mm/154 in) but the internal space was equivalent to the bigger ones. In order to create more room space, the sparetire was placed along with the engine, as in 147. The light weight allowed a small fuel consumption either ofgasoline oralcohol.
It was sold in threeengine options: a 1048 cc gasoline with a maximum output of 56 hp (42 kW) and a 1297 cc gasoline or alcohol with a maximum output of 60 hp (45 kW) and 61 hp (46 kW) respectively. The two trim levels were C and CL. The 1050 engine was available only with the C trim level.
