TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Motor and engineering enthusiasts as well as
those “in the trade” will probably start reading from
this point in the handbook. This, in fact, is where a
section jam-packed with facts, figures, formulae,
measurements and tables begins.
In a sense, it is Fiat Palio’s identity card. A docu-
ment that introduces the car and explains in techni-
cal jargon all the features that go together to make it
a model designed to give you superlative driving sat-
isfaction.CAR IDENTIFICATION DATA ........................... PAGE 129
