Fiat Tipo Cross

The Fiat Tipo name can be traced back to 1989, however, the Tipo Cross you see here wasn't introduced until 2020, as an addition to the later Tipo model which came along in 2016.

In a world where the SUV continues to be top of many consumers new and used car lists, the Tipo Cross is a sort of a middle ground between your everyday hatchback and SUV. It still has the proportions of the humble hatchback, but offers more rugged styling to proceedings.

It has a lot of good things going for it, which include:

  • Sophisticated looks
  • Lifestyle vibe
  • Affordable
  • Mild Hybrid engine option
  • Practical

 

Engines and Driving Experience

Fiat Tipo Cross

The Fiat Tipo Cross came with two engine choices for the UK market, which comprise of:

  • 1.0-litre, 98bhp, 0 to 62mph in 13.4 seconds, 49mpg fuel economy
  • 1.5-litre MHEV (Mild Hybrid), 128bhp, 0 to 62mph in 9 seconds, 54mpg fuel economy

Neither are built for out-and-out performance, but then if you're after a spicier Fiat, there's always Abarth models to consider.

The 1.5-litre MHEV is the more tempting prospect, with better economy and pace that can easily feel up to speed with most cars on the road these days. That said, if you're happy with more urban driving, the 1.0-litre should be fine, too.

Practicality and Running Costs

Fiat Tipo Cross

The Fiat Tipo Cross takes after the regular Fiat Tipo hatchback, so you get an impressive 440-litre boot. To put that into perspective, the textbook VW Golf offers 380 litres, whilst a dedicated SUV like the Dacia Duster offers 517 litres.

Interior space is good, with five seats, but the rear middle seat, like most hatchbacks, is really only ideal for children, or maybe an adult on a short journey.

Running costs shouldn't break the bank due to the small and modern engines, while all maintenance and servicing work can be carried out by your preferred Evans Halshaw Fiat retailer.

Interior, Technology, and Safety

Fiat Tipo Cross

The Fiat Tipo Cross' interior is pretty straight forward, it's by no means amazing compared to other cars of this era, but it's not bad either.

It comes as standard with a 7.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, which features essentials like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with Bluetooth and DAB radio. The instrument cluster is part digital too, which gives it a modern feel.

Safety features and driver aids that come standard include cruise control and parking sensors, which will make life easier when navigating tight city streets and car parks, although other cars of this era tend to come with much more impressive safety kit.

Is the Fiat Tipo Cross right for me?

The Fiat Tipo Cross was sold new for around three years, so there's not many when compared with other alternatives.

If you're in the market for a 'rugged' hatchback like this, then the Ford Focus Active X is a much better car, but it will cost more.

That said, the regular Ford Focus is a textbook answer, as these 'Cross' and 'Active X' versions of the cars just feature minor lifestyle differences.

It comes as no surprise the Tipo Cross wasn't on sale for a large period of time. It can be found used for a great price, and perhaps still with some manufacturer warranty, but you'll be able to find plenty of other hatchbacks, or SUVs with much better specifications for similar money.
