The '''Fiat Bravo''' (Type 198) is a small family car produced by Italian manufacturer Fiat from 2007 to 2014. It was introduced to the press in January 2007 in [[Place:Rome|Rome]], and later to the public in March at the [[Engineering:Geneva Motor Show#2007|Geneva Motor Show]]. A minor [[Engineering:Facelift (automotive)|facelift]] was available from 2010,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.autoevolution.com/news/2010-fiat-bravo-hatchback-released-15490.html|title = 2010 Fiat Bravo Hatchback Released|date = 15 January 2010}}</ref> with changes to the front grille, door handles and side mirrors, new colors, as well as interior improvements.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.auto-types.com/autonews/auto-salon-geneva-2010-fiat-bravo-facelift-5894.html|title=Auto Types - Auto Types|date=2 July 2020}}</ref> The car was launched on 21 April 2007.

[[Earth:Europe|Europe]]an production, at the Cassino plant, ended in July 2014, being part of FCA's ''5 Year Plan'', presented by Sergio Marchionne on 7 May 2014. It was replaced by the [[Engineering:Fiat Tipo (2015)|Fiat Tipo]] and the similarly sized [[Engineering:Fiat 500X|Fiat 500X]]. The Bravo was the first car to bear Fiat Automobiles' then new logo, introduced in October 2006, containing a red background in a chrome frame.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.carbodydesign.com/archive/2006/10/29-a-new-logo-for-fiat/ |title=A new logo for Fiat |date=29 October 2006 |website=carbodydesign.com |access-date=11 May 2015}}</ref>

==History==
[[File:Fiat Bravo II rear 20100501.jpg|left|thumb|Fiat Bravo rear (pre-facelift)]]
The car was designed at Centro Stile Fiat,<ref name="autoblog 2006">{{cite web |url=http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/26/2007-fiat-bravo-unveiled/ |title=2007 Fiat Bravo unveiled |first=John |last=Neff |date=26 October 2006 |website=autoblog.com |access-date=11 May 2015}}</ref> while Austrian automotive company [[Company:Magna Steyr|Magna Steyr]] engineered a large amount of the car's body.<ref name="magnasteyr.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.magnasteyr.com/xchg/SID-0A200004-85937885/complete_vehicle/XSL/standard.xsl/-/content/269_2030.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110714020641/http://www.magnasteyr.com/xchg/SID-0A200004-85937885/complete_vehicle/XSL/standard.xsl/-/content/269_2030.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=14 July 2011 |title=Body development: Fiat Bravo |website=magnasteyr.com |access-date=11 February 2011 }}</ref> CAD engineering and computer simulations were used on a very large scale with this model and the design was finished to a very tight schedule.

For markets in the [[Finance:Europe, the Middle East and Africa|EMEA]], the Bravo was produced in Fiat's Piedimonte S. Germano plant.

Blue&Me is a new feature which was first introduced with the [[Engineering:Fiat Grande Punto|Fiat Grande Punto]], and was fitted as standard on the Bravo Dynamic and Sport. Developed with [[Company:Microsoft|Microsoft]], this system offers [[Bluetooth]] hands free use with a mobile phone.

It is also capable of displaying SMS text on the dash screen, and it has built in voice activation. Another part of the system is the inclusion of a USB connector so that an MP3 player or USB flashcard can be plugged in, giving the car's entertainment system access to MP3 files stored on the unit.

In Australia, the Fiat Bravo was sold as the Fiat Ritmo, since Mazda Australia owns rights to the "Bravo" name (as used on a commercial vehicle). It was introduced there in February 2008, however, it was discontinued the following year, due to slow sales, only 463 units were sold in total. The Bravo was also built in Brazil from 2010 to 2016, and was sold there and throughout South America (with the exception of Argentina, Chile and Colombia, who receive the Bravo from Italy).

In January 2007, ''What Car?'' reported that Fiat was working on a [[Engineering:Station wagon|station wagon]] version, speculated to be marketed as the ''Bravo MultiWagon''. Despite being a production ready version of the Bravo, it was never marketed. Other sources also claimed that this was actually a facelifted of the second generation [[Engineering:Fiat Croma|Fiat Croma]], launched in October 2007.<ref>{{cite web|title=Fiat and Toyota: the near future|url=http://www.whatcar.com/News/Detail?tag=fiat-and-toyota-the-near-future&articleID=223891|publisher=whatcar.com|date=19 January 2007|access-date=13 June 2015}}</ref>{{Citation needed|date=June 2014}}

The Bravo was powered by three different petrol and three diesel engines.<ref name="fiat.fr">{{Cite web|url=http://www.fiat.fr/FIAT_FRANCE/uploads/1006/1074103333/20070614/encart%20Bravo%20juin%2007.pdf|title=Fiat Bravo|access-date=6 January 2008|work=fiat.fr|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720215457/http://www.fiat.fr/FIAT_FRANCE/uploads/1006/1074103333/20070614/encart%20Bravo%20juin%2007.pdf|archive-date=20 July 2011|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref name="fiatgroupautomobilespress.com">{{Cite web|url=http://www.fiatgroupautomobilespress.com/download/SYSTEM_ARCHIVIO/GRUPPO01~08_SCHEDE_TECNICHE_F/081104_F_Bravo_20Mjet_ST_EN.pdf|title=Technical data sheet for Fiat Bravo 2.0 Multijet 16 v 165 hp|access-date=9 November 2014|website=fiatgroupautomobilespress.com}}</ref> 'T-Jet' is the name of the new range of turbocharged petrol engines.

Some models of the {{convert|150|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} T-Jet version have a Sport button to give an "overboost" function. At the end of 2007, the new 1.6 L Multijet diesel engine was launched, and a more powerful {{convert|120|PS|kW hp|abbr=on|0}} version in spring 2008.

The {{Convert|105|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} version was available with the so called "Eco" pack which features changes to the car's aerodynamics and ECU, taller gear ratios and lower rolling resistance tyres. This gives better fuel consumption and lower {{CO2}} emissions (119 g/km) when compared to the standard car. This engine is also [[Engineering:European emission standards|Euro 5]] rated.<ref name="italiaspeed.com/2008">{{Cite web|url=http://www.italiaspeed.com/2008/cars/fiat/02/bravo_eco_pack/0702.html|title=07.02.2008 NEW "ECO" PACK BOOSTS FIAT BRAVO'S GREEN CREDENTIALS|access-date=7 February 2008|work=italiaspeed.com/2008}}</ref>

A new 2.0 Multijet diesel was added to lineup at the end of 2008, that slowly replaced the 1.9 16v. In 2009, the Bravo got a new "eco" {{convert|90|PS|kW hp|abbr=on}} variant of the Multijet diesel. In June 2010, two petrol engines were updated, the 1.4 T-Jet is fitted with the new Multiair technology, and the base 1.4 T-Jet was also updated to Euro 5 specification.<ref name="italiaspeed.com/2010/cars">{{Cite web|url=http://www.italiaspeed.com/2010/cars/fiat/06/bravo_engines/3006.html|title=30.06.2010 MULTIAIR AND START&STOP TECHNOLOGY ARRIVES ON THE FIAT BRAVO|access-date=30 June 2010|work=italiaspeed.com/2010/cars}}</ref>
