Fiat Tipo Buying Guide

What types of used Fiat Tipo cars are there?

The Fiat Tipo is one of the most versatile compact cars you can get, because as well as a standard family hatchback, you can also get an estate model and, less commonly, a saloon.

Being a Fiat, you can pick a Tipo up with a couple of punchy petrol engines or an extremely efficient diesel that should be able to exceed 60mpg on a motorway trip.

It’s an affordable family car that was on sale for around eight years, but in its later years, it got a major facelift and a slight re-brand with a new logo. This brought a lot more tech and standard equipment, so it’s the one to go for if your budget allows.

Popular Fiat Tipo trims

Fiat chopped and changed the trim levels over the years, but if you’re looking at one of the post-facelift cars, try to find one of the Life-branded models.

> Fiat Tipo - this standard car has air-con and Bluetooth, but it’s a pretty basic model without alloy wheels

> Fiat Tipo City Life - this adds alloys, LED daytime running lights, a part-digital instrument cluster and a five-inch infotainment display

> Fiat Tipo Life - upgraded car with reversing camera, cruise control and some more premium materials

Fiat Tipo history

Fiat introduced the modern Tipo in 2015 before discontinuing it in the UK in 2023. It only ever saw one generation, but it had some updates

> Fiat Tipo (2015) - the Tipo nameplate gets revived for this modern, wallet-friendly family hatchback

> Fiat Tipo facelift (2021) - more standard equipment and a slicker look with Fiat’s new logo on the nose, spelling out the ‘FIAT’ name rather than a circular badge

What features does the Fiat Tipo have?

Entry-level cars come with all the basics, and a little more. For example, when it launched, the basic Easy model had air-con, Bluetooth and remote central locking, but only the estate version had electric rear windows.

Mid-spec Lounge models added improved climate control and a touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone connectivity and a reversing camera.

You can also get newer City Life and Life variants with similar levels of equipment, as well as a range-topping Cross model, which is generally sold as a separate car rather than just a trim level.

Is the Fiat Tipo reliable?

The Fiat Tipo shares some mechanical parts with the Fiat 500L and 500X, as well as the Jeep Renegade and Compass, so many components have already been tried and tested.

Fiat also belongs to a wider group of brands, including Peugeot, Citroen, Vauxhall and Alfa Romeo, so it gets to use reliable parts without having to build its own.

How much does the Fiat Tipo cost to run?

Most models are sold with petrol engines – the 1.4 and 1.6-litre units are fine, but the turbocharged 1.0-litre motor is punchier and just as efficient.

We really like the diesel model, too, because it’s one of the most efficient diesel cars you can get.

Who is the Fiat Tipo suitable for?

A used Fiat Tipo for sale is a great pick for families looking to keep a lid on their spending because it’s as cheap to run as it is to buy. But you won’t have to sacrifice on practicality and style.

If you like the range of body styles available, consider the Hyundai i30, which comes in hatchback, estate and Fastback forms. Otherwise, consider the Kia Ceed and Vauxhall Astra, which are also affordable hatchbacks and estates.

Should I buy a Fiat Tipo?

Is the Fiat Tipo a good car?

The Tipo is a great family car for any motorist that wants minimal fuss but a lot of value for money. It’s comfortable, easy to drive, and top-quality, so you know it’ll stand up well against everyday use.  

You’ll get a choice of engines in the Tipo, including an all-new hybrid model, and hatchback or estate body styles. 

Each one is well built and smooth, with the diesels being the best option for efficiency, and the petrol models prioritising performance.  

Is the Fiat Tipo worth buying?

The Tipo is worth buying if you want value for money in a car that’s still massively impressive. You’ll enjoy some refined and efficient engine set-ups, with a roomy cabin and up to 550 litres of boot space, and some added tech for good measure.  

Is the Fiat Tipo a big car?

The Tipo isn’t the biggest family car on the market, but it has enough space to comfortably fit a family and never feel cramped.  

The Tipo hatchback body style offers 440 litres of boot space, while the estate brings 550 litres. The estate model does feel a bit more spacious all round, thanks to the roomy cabin and classic shape.  

How much is a Fiat Tipo?

The cost of a used Tipo will depend on the model you choose, as prices vary across the range. You can expect prices to start at around £8,650 for an entry-level model, but this will change depending on our stock and any special offers.  

All of our Tipo models are available with finance, so you can spread the cost if you prefer.
