Uno Mark I (1983–89)

The Uno was launched to replace the ageing Fiat 127. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro's ItalDesign company, its tall, square body and a low drag coefficient of 0.34 won it much praise for airy interior space and fuel economy. It incorporated many packaging lessons learnt from Giugiaro's 1978 Lancia MegaGamma concept car (an experimental MPV) but miniaturised. It was voted Car of the Year in 1984.^[2] The Fiat 127 was a supermini automobile produced by the Italian manufacturer Fiat between 1971 and 1987. ... Giorgetto Giugiaro (b. ...

Initially, the Uno was offered with the 0.9 litre (903 cc) OHV, 1.1 litre (1116 cc), and 1.3 litre (1301 cc) 138-series SOHC petrol engines.^[3]The 1.3 (1300 cc) diesel (not for the UK market) engine was launched a couple of months later. The Uno's badging was not by the commonly used measurement of engine size but by bhp: 45, 55, 60, 75 or 90. The Uno was available as either a 3- or 5-door hatchback. It also featured unusual "pod" switchgear cluster around the main instrument binnacle, although indicators remained on a stalk; an unusual arrangement notably also used by Citroen.

From 1985, the new 1.0 litre (999 cc) SOHC Fully Integrated Robotised Engine (FIRE) powerplant was offered. This was a lighter engine and gave improved performance and economy. Also in 1985, the hot hatch version - Uno Turbo - was launched, with an IHI turbocharged Ritmo/Strada-derived 1.3 146-series engine, initially offering 105 bhp (78 kW). It was priced to compete with the Peugeot 205 GTI.^[3] The FIRE (for Fully Integrated Robotised Engine) is a series of automobile engines from Fiat. ...

Also in 1987, the Uno Selecta continuously variable transmission (CVT) automatic was launched. This was a co-development with Ford of the Dutch Van Doorne gearbox as used by DAF and later, Volvo. It was prone to failure, however.^[3] The continuously variable transmission (CVT) is a transmission in which the ratio of the rotational speeds of two shafts, as the input shaft and output shaft of a vehicle or other machine, can be varied continuously within a given range, providing an infinite number of possible ratios. ...

Uno Mark II (1989–95)

In September 1989, the Uno was given a major facelift, which saw updated bodywork at the nose and a different tailgate, that improved the drag coefficient to Cd 0.30.^[3] The interior was also revised. The pod switchgear was replaced by stalks and an effort was made to stop the dashboard rattles of the Mark I. At this time, the old 1.1 litre engine was replaced by a new FIRE version, and a new Fiat Tipo-derived 1.4 litre engine replaced the Ritmo/Strada-derived 1.3 litre in both naturally aspirated and turbo versions. The Uno Turbo i.e. variant was also restyled, upgraded with an Garret T2 turbine, Bosch LH Jetronic fuel injection and better aerodynamics.

Uno production ceased in Italy in 1995, with sales throughout Western Europe stopping at the same time. A total of 6,032,911 units were built in Fiat's Italian factories.^[3] The Uno's replacement in Western Europe was the Fiat Punto, which had been launched in early 1994. The Fiat Punto is a supermini produced by the Italian manufacturer Fiat since 1993. ...

It is based on the 1983-1990 design, and is powered by a 1.4-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine.^[7] Fiat S.p. ...

Poland

Production in Fiat's factory in Poland ran until 2002. 173,382 units were built from June 1995 to October 2002.

Brazil

The car is still sold in Brazil, where a saloon version called the Duna or Prêmio, and an estate called the Duna Weekend or Innocenti Elba / Fiat Elba were also available.^[3] The Italian machinery works named Innocenti was originally established by Ferdinando Innocenti in 1920. ...

Currently, the car is sold as the Fiat Mille, as a budget entry-level model, and received its most recent facelift for the 2004 model year. The 2005 Brazilian range has received a Flex Fuel system, enabling the car to use ethanol or gasoline as fuel, both pure or in any proportion mixture; plus, there is a version fitted for unpaved roads called Mille Way, which includes a more resilient suspension, larger wheels and side protections.

Morocco

The Fiat Uno was also assembled in Morocco until 2004 by SOMACA (Société Marocaine des Constructions Automobiles), and remains a popular choice of car for "petit-taxi" use.^[9]

Future

The Fiat Uno may make a comeback in a few years, as a model that would sit in between the new 500 and the Punto. If this proceeds, it is to be built on a shortened version of a Punto platform and therefore would be lighter.^[10] Image File history File links Gnome_globe_current_event. ...

Sales performance

United Kingdom

The Uno was quite popular in Britain, with 190,000 Mark I examples sold between 1983 and 1989, but only around 5,000 are reported to be still in circulation.^[11] This is mainly due to its beastly acceleration between 30 and 80mph. Better than ANY Ferrari.
