There’s a new low-emission incarnation of the Fiat Bravo family car introduced, and it features a new MultiJet engine with DPF, or diesel particulate filter, this time around. It is designed for optimum performance while greatly increasing the mileage and environment-friendliness of the vehicle.

The new MultiJet engine is a 2.0-liter capable of 165 brake horsepower, and 266 lb.-ft. of torque at 1,750 rpm, considerable improvements from the 2007 model’s 1.9-liter MultiJet capable of around 120bhp. Meanwhile, DPF is a filter tasked to strip exhaust gas of harmful particulates, which includes aerosols and soot. This helps in considerably lowering emission levels and increase fuel efficiency.

The new Bravo is pegged to have emissions of 139g/km, while mileage is at 53mpg. It takes 8.2 seconds to go from 0 to 62 mph, and it can reach a higher top speed of 134mph, compared to the 2007 model’s 130mph.

There will be Sport and Dynamic configurations available once again for the new Bravo. The Sport variant will naturally fetch more, because of added features like 17” or 18” alloy rims and sports custom interiors. The standard Blue&Me Bluetooth suite should still be standard in these new models.
