Fiat has followed up the facelited Panda city car with an updated version of its budget-friendly family car - the Tipo.
The arrival of a new, taller-riding Fiat Tipo Cross model is the big news, on top of styling and technology updates across the range.

The standard Tipo line-up has been updated with a subtle new look, with the facelift focusing on changes to the front of the car. New full LED headlights appear, while the front bumper has been updated with a new chromework section. The grille is new and more imposing with a chrome pattern, while the nose features the latest version of the brand’s badge - the Tipo becoming the second model to use the updated logo following the new all-electric 500.
The design changes are applied to both the hatchback and the estate variant of the company’s Skoda Scala rival.
Inside, updates are limited in comparison with the exterior refresh, comprising a new steering wheel and some new trim for the climate control panel. However, an important technology update arrives in the form of a new partially digitised instrument panel with a seven-inch central driver information display.
Alongside the hatchback and estate versions of the new Tipo, the Tipo Cross injects a bit of SUV desirability into the line-up. It gets a tougher appearance with black plastic protective cladding on the bumpers and wheel arches, unique alloy wheels, and roof bars, while it rides on a different suspension setup, with an additional 7cm of ground clearance.
An updated engine line-up has not been revealed, but further information, such as the powertrain selection, options and UK pricing for the updated Tipo range will be revealed in November.
