The UNO: Still Popular Worldwide

The second generation arrived in 1989. Its front and rear designs were refined, further improving aerodynamics. However, as sales declined across Western Europe, production in Italy ceased in 1995, with the Fiat Punto taking its place.

Currently, it is manufactured and sold only in countries such as South Africa, Poland, Brazil, Argentina, Pakistan, and Morocco.

Recycled Resin and Solar Panels on the Roof

The new UNO is a 5-door hatchback with a square body. Measuring 3,770mm long, 1,643mm wide, and 1,490mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,370mm, it is slightly larger than Fiat's popular Panda model.

Incidentally, the name "UNO" is familiar in Japan, but it is now a dedicated model for South America and South Africa.

Unveiled alongside this new UNO was the "UNO ECOLOGY." Developed based on the "Way" series, it features an SUV-like appearance with solar panels installed on the roof. The electricity generated here is used to charge the battery and support driving.

The interior extensively uses natural resins such as coconut fiber, along with recycled resin derived from plastic bottles. It is powered by a 1-liter flex-fuel engine equipped with an idle stop function.

The new UNO has already gone on sale in Brazil, but the release date for the UNO ECOLOGY remains unknown. Given the current climate, we hope for an early release to enhance Fiat's corporate image.
