Uno Mark I (1983–89)

The Uno was launched to replace the ageing Fiat 127. The Fiat 127 is a supermini produced by the Italian automaker Fiat between 1971 and 1983 Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro's ItalDesign company, its tall, square body and a low drag coefficient of 0. Giorgetto Giugiaro (born August 7, 1938) is an Italian Automobile designer He was born in Garessio, Province of Cuneo Italdesign-Giugiaro SpA (commonly called Italdesign) is an Automobile design and engineering company in Turin, Italy. 34 won it much praise for airy interior space and fuel economy. Fuel economy in automobiles is the amount of Fuel required to move the Automobile over a given Distance. It incorporated many packaging lessons learnt from Giugiaro's 1978 Lancia Megagamma concept car (an experimental MPV) but miniaturised. The Lancia Megagamma minivan is a Concept car designed by Italdesign in 1978 and introduced the same year at the Turin Motor Show. It was voted Car of the Year in 1984. Car of the Year is a phrase usually considered to have been invented by Motor Trend magazine in the 1950s for their annual award for best automobile ^[2]

Initially, the Uno was offered with the 0. 9 litre (903 cc) OHV, 1. An overhead valve (OHV engine, also called pushrod engine or I-head engine is a type of Piston engine that places the Camshaft 1 litre (1116 cc), and 1. 3 litre (1301 cc) 138-series SOHC petrol engines. Designed by Aurelio Lampredi the Fiat SOHC engine first appeared in the Front-wheel drive (FWD Fiat 128 Overhead camshaft, commonly abbreviated to OHC, Valvetrain configurations place the engine Camshaft within the Cylinder heads above the ^[3]The 1. 3 (1300 cc) diesel (not for the UK market) engine was launched a couple of months later. The Uno's badging was not by the commonly used measurement of engine size but by bhp: 45, 55, 60, 75 or 90. The Uno was available as either a 3- or 5-door hatchback. Hatchback is a term designating an Automobile design containing a passenger cabin with an integrated Cargo space accessed from behind the vehicle by a single It also featured unusual "pod" switchgear cluster around the main instrument binnacle, although indicators remained on a stalk; an unusual arrangement notably also used by Citroen. Citroën (pronounced See-Troh-Enn is a French Automobile manufacturer, founded in 1919 by André Citroën.

The Uno had MacPherson strut independent front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension. The MacPherson strut is a type of car suspension system widely used in modern vehicles named after Earl S A torsion bar suspension, also known as a Torsion spring suspension or incorrectly torsion beam, is a general term for any Vehicle suspension

From 1985, the new 1. 0 litre (999 cc) SOHC Fully Integrated Robotised Engine (FIRE) powerplant was offered. The FIRE (for "Fully Integrated Robotised Engine" is a series of Automobile engines from Fiat. This was a lighter engine and gave improved performance and economy. Also in 1985, the hot hatch version - Uno Turbo - was launched, with an IHI turbocharged Ritmo/Strada-derived 1. The 1978 Fiat Ritmo, styled by Bertone of Italy was the most distinctive looking Small family car in Europe on its launch in 1978 Turin Motorshow 3 146-series engine, initially offering 105 bhp (78 kW). Designed by Aurelio Lampredi the Fiat SOHC engine first appeared in the Front-wheel drive (FWD Fiat 128 It was priced to compete with the Peugeot 205 GTI. ^[3]

In 1987, a 1. 7 litre diesel engined version - the 60DS -was launched.

Also in 1987, the Uno Selecta continuously variable transmission (CVT) automatic was launched. A continuously variable transmission ( CVT) is a transmission which can change steplessly through an infinite number of effective gear ratios between maximum This was a co-development with Ford of the Dutch Van Doorne gearbox as used by DAF and later, Volvo.

Uno Mark II (1989–95)

In September 1989, the Uno was given a major facelift, which saw updated bodywork at the nose and a different tailgate, that improved the drag coefficient to Cd 0. 30. ^[3] The interior was also revised. The pod switchgear was replaced by stalks and an effort was made to stop the dashboard rattles of the Mark I. At this time, the old 1. 1 litre engine was replaced by a new FIRE version, and a new Fiat Tipo-derived 1. The Fiat Tipo is a Small family car designed by the IDEA design house and produced by the Italian manufacturer Fiat between 1988 and 1995 4 litre engine replaced the Ritmo/Strada-derived 1. 3 litre in both naturally aspirated and turbo versions. The Uno Turbo i. e. variant was also restyled, upgraded with a Garret T2 turbine, Bosch LH Jetronic fuel injection and better aerodynamics.

Uno production ceased in Italy in 1995, with sales throughout Western Europe stopping at the same time. A total of 6,032,911 units were built in Fiat's Italian factories. ^[3] The Uno's replacement in Western Europe was the Fiat Punto, which had been launched in early 1994. The Fiat Punto is a supermini produced by the Italian manufacturer Fiat, since 1993

South Africa

In South Africa, the Uno was assembled under licence by Nissan from 1990 until 1998 and then by Fiat from 1998 up until 2006. The Republic of South Africa (also known by other official names) is a country located at the southern tip of the continent of Africa The verb license or grant license means to give permission The noun license is the document demonstrating that permission Unos manufactured by Nissan had the word licence underneath the Fiat badge on the rear end and models included the 1100 cc FIRE as well as the 1400cc PACER, PACER SX and TURBO. There were also a number of special editions produced including the Beat and the Rio, these also featured the 1400 engine. After Fiat re-entered South Africa in 1998 Unos were rebadged as either the 1100 Mia or 1400 Tempo. They also featured the Fiat centenary badge from that point on. By the time initial production of the Uno ended in 2006 only the 3 door Mia was available for sale. ^[5][6] 110,000 units were produced between 1990 and 2002.

In 2007, the Fiat Uno was redesigned and it re-entered the South African new car market. The Republic of South Africa (also known by other official names) is a country located at the southern tip of the continent of Africa The car was now marketed and distributed by Fiat themselves. Fiat SpA (an Acronym for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino (Italian Automobile Factory of Turin) is an Italian automobile manufacturer The model line-up includes the Uno Way, which has a higher suspension and colour-coded bumpers than the regular Uno. It is based on the 1983-1990 design, and is powered by a 1. 2-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine. ^[7]

Poland

Production in Fiat's factory in Poland ran until 2002. Poland (Polska officially the Republic of Poland 173,382 units were built from June 1995 to October 2002.

Brazil

The car is still sold in Brazil, where a saloon version called the Prêmio (exported also as Duna), and an estate called the Fiat Elba (exported also as Duna Weekend or Innocenti Elba) were also available. |utc_offset = -2 to -4 |time_zone_DST = BRST |utc_offset_DST = -2 to -5 |cctld Innocenti, an Italian machinery works was originally established by Ferdinando Innocenti in 1920 ^[3]

The Fiat Uno family, in Brazil, had a turbocharged 1. 4-litre four inline sports version in the early 90's. This car was sold as a normal production vehicle.

Currently, the car is sold as the Fiat Mille, as a budget entry-level model, and received its most recent facelift for the 2004 model year. The 2005 Brazilian range has received a Flex Fuel system, enabling the car to use ethanol or gasoline as fuel, both pure or in any proportion mixture; plus, there is a version fitted for unpaved roads called Mille Way, which includes a more resilient suspension, larger wheels and side protections. A flexible-fuel vehicle (FFV or dual-fuel vehicle ( Colloquially called a flex-fuel vehicle) is an alternative fuel Automobile or From April 1988 until 2006, up to 2,000,000 Fiat Unos were made in Brazil.

Argentina

In Argentina, the Fiat Uno was produced from March 1989 to 2000, 179,767 units were built. A specific saloon version with four doors was also produced from 1988 to 2000. Called Duna or Elba, 257,259 units of this version were built in Fiat's Cordoba plant.

Pakistan

The Fiat Uno is also assembled from Complete knock down (CKD) kits in Pakistan by Raja Motor Company, and the recently upgraded (as of 2006) Brazilian-built right-hand drive Uno's are being exported to South Africa. For other uses of the abbreviation see CKD Complete knock down (CKD, is a complete kit needed to assemble a vehicle Pakistan () officially the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, is a country located in South Asia, Southwest Asia, Middle East and ^[8]

Morocco

The Fiat Uno was also assembled in Morocco until 2004 by SOMACA (Société Marocaine des Constructions Automobiles), and remains a popular choice of car for "petit-taxi" use. ^[9]

Future

The Fiat Uno may make a comeback in a few years, as a model that would sit in between the new 500 and the Punto. "Fiat 500" can also refer to the former Fiat 500 "Topolino", Fiat 500 or Fiat Cinquecento (500 The Fiat Punto is a supermini produced by the Italian manufacturer Fiat, since 1993 If this proceeds, it is to be built on a shortened version of a Punto platform and therefore would be lighter. ^[10]

Sales performance

United Kingdom

The Uno was quite popular in Britain, with 190,000 Mark I examples sold between 1983 and 1989, but only around 5,000 are reported to be still in circulation. ^[11]

New Zealand

The Uno was a surprise hit for Fiat in New Zealand as well, where a combination of low prices and well received styling saw over 1000 Unos a year moved right up until the late 1980s, with the 3000th New Zealand Uno being celebrated in December 1988. Few Unos remain on the road in 2008, however, with rust being the most common factor.

Fame and notoriety

A white Uno has been alleged to have been involved in the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, on August 31, 1997. On 31 August 1997, Diana Princess of Wales died as a result of injuries sustained in a car crash in the Pont de l'Alma road Events 1056 - Byzantine Empress Theodora becomes ill dying suddenly a few days later without children to succeed the Throne Year 1997 ( MCMXCVII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1997 Gregorian calendar However, the car and its driver have never been traced.

Stolen Fiat Unos were used by the infamous 'Uno Bianca' gang in Italy in the early 1990s; they were easy to steal, as most of them lacked an immobilizer.
