Fiat Tipo 1.4 T-Jet Lounge – Turbocharged Simplicity with a Touch of Style The Fiat Tipo 1.4 T-Jet Lounge is a bit of a hidden gem in the compact car world. While it might not scream excitement at first glance, the turbocharged 1.4-litre petrol engine, combined with Fiat's traditionally smooth ride and decent kit levels, makes it a smart choice for buyers after value, space, and a little extra punch under the bonnet. Engine & Performance At the heart of this model is the 1.4 T-Jet turbocharged petrol engine, delivering 120 horsepower and 215 Nm of torque. It’s paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox, and though it won’t win drag races, it offers solid real-world performance, especially on the motorway or for overtaking. 0–62 mph: Around 9.6 seconds Top speed: About 124 mph Fuel economy: Roughly 40–45 mpg combined, depending on driving style and conditions It’s got a nice, linear power delivery, and unlike many naturally aspirated rivals in this segment, the turbo helps keep things flexible at lower revs. Trim & Features – What You Get with the “Lounge” The Lounge is the top-of-the-range trim, so you’re getting a fair bit of kit for the money. Standard features usually include: 7-inch Uconnect touchscreen with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Satellite navigation Rear-view camera and parking sensors Cruise control & speed limiter Automatic climate control 16 or 17-inch alloy wheels Chrome exterior detailing and LED daytime running lights The interior design is more functional than fancy, but it’s spacious, well laid out, and offers a solid level of comfort for long journeys.
