Class	Small family car

The Fiat Bravo and Fiat Brava are small family cars produced by the Italian automaker Fiat from 1995 to 2001 and from 2007 on. The earlier Brava/Bravo were effectively two versions of the same car, the Bravo a three-door hatchback and the Brava a longer five-door hatchback. The nameplate has been revived for 2007 with an all-new replacement for the Stilo, rather confusingly the new version will use only the Bravo name but is not available with three doors. The name Brava was used in the United States on the earlier Fiat 131.

The Bravo and Brava Mark 1 were replacements for Fiat's successful but aging Tipo model. The cars came with all new engines, the base model using a 1.4 L 12-valve engine producing 80 bhp. Three other petrol engines were available: the 103 bhp 1.6 L 16-valve; the 113 bhp 1.8 L 16-valve engine and the top of the range 2.0 L 20-valve R5 unit used in the HGT model, which produced 147 bhp and which could take the car to a maximum speed of 135 mph (217 km/h). Two turbodiesel engines were also available: both were 1.9 L four cylinder units, one producing 75 bhp and the other making 100 bhp. Bravo/Brava was voted European Car of the Year on its launch. In 1996 the Bravo/Brava chassis spawned saloon and estate versions, badged Fiat Marea, which won praise for its large boot. Another car based on the Bravo/Brava underpinnings was launched in 1998: the curious looking Fiat Multipla, a six-seater mini MPV.

The Bravo/Brava received a mild makeover in 1999 but there were few real changes except the addition of a 1.2 16-valve engine from the smaller Fiat Punto and a restyling of the dashboard. The 1.9 turbodiesel was also upgraded to give even better economy and refinement.

By the 21st century the Bravo/Brava range was looking increasingly dated in the face of new competition like the Ford Focus and Peugeot 307. The Bravo/Brava was discontinued in Europe in late 2001, and replaced by the all-new Fiat Stilo, which would be ultimately a sales disappointment.

Brava SX 1.6 16v (106 bhp)
Brava ELX 1.6 16v (106 bhp)
Brava HGT 1.8 16v (132 bhp) (the same engine used in the Brazilian Fiat Marea SX model, initially declared as having 127 bhp to avoid higher taxation)

Fiat Bravo is Fiat's new small family car introduced to the press January 2007 in Rome, later it was published in Geneva Motor Show 2007. The new Bravo will be produced in Fiat's Cassino plant in Piedimonte S. Germano. The car is designed by Fiat Style Centre. Austrian automotive company Magna Steyr has engineered big part of the car's body and internal fittings. CAD engineering and computer simulations were used in a very large scale with this model and the design was made in very fast schedule.

Blue&Me is a new feature first introduced with the Fiat Grande Punto and is fitted as standard on the Bravo Dynamic and Sport. Developed with Microsoft this system offers Bluetooth hands free for use with a mobile phone. Also capable of displaying SMS text on the dash screen and has voice activation built in. Another part of the system is the inclusion of a USB connector so an MP3 player or USB flashcard can be plugged in, giving access to the cars entertainment system mp3's that are stored on the unit.

In Australia, the Fiat Bravo will be sold as the Fiat Ritmo, as Mazda Australia has the naming rights to the "Bravo" name.

The new Bravo will be powered by three different petrol and two diesel engines. T-Jet is new turbocharged petrol engine. The 150 PS T-Jet version has Sport button to give "overboost" function.
