Announced by Fiat UK on 8th February:

"Fiat’s new 1.6 MultiJet 16v diesel engine has just been introduced to the Bravo range. The new unit, announced just last week, promises sparkling performance, outstanding torque, increased noise suppression and lower running costs for the Bravo range. The addition also makes Bravo the first car in its category to be fitted with a Euro 5-compliant engine, well ahead of the 2009 deadline.

The new Bravo 1.6 MultiJet is also available with a special eco-package in 105 bhp form. In addition to revised engine ECU settings, this ‘Eco’ pack employs special measures to optimise aerodynamics, and incorporates low rolling resistance tyres and ‘taller’ gear ratios to return some outstanding fuel consumption and CO2 figures: 62.7 mpg in the combined cycle (an increase of some 5 mpg on the standard 105 bhp 1.6 MultiJet) and CO2 emissions of just 119 g/km.

The new 1.6 MultiJet has four cylinders in line, 16 valves, and a displacement of
1598 cc. Two different engines are being produced: one developing 105 bhp at 4000 rpm and torque of 290 Nm (214 lb ft) at 1500 rpm; the other developing 120 bhp at 4000 rpm and torque of 300 Nm (221 lb ft) at 1500 rpm. Both engines come with a manual six-speed gearbox.

These engines are boosted by either electronically-controlled fixed-geometry (105 bhp version) or variable-geometry (120 bhp version) turbochargers, to enhance power output while providing very high torque even at low revs. Compared with the current Fiat 1.9 MultiJet 120 bhp unit, the 1.6 MultiJet series represents an important step forward – with the same power, torque is improved by almost 25 per cent at 1500 rpm, and consumption is reduced by eight per cent.

Ordering of these new units will be open within the month of February with the first batch of centrally ordered vehicles due in your dealerships from March onwards.

Later in the year, July onwards the range will expand further with the new Dualogic versions of 1.6 MultiJet 120bhp engine and Dualogic 1.4 TJet 120 bhp engine."

Thanks for the info. This must be good news, especially for a lighter car like the GP as well as the Bravo.
