Fiat India have given themselves a new lease of life with the Linea, which is a sedan based on the Grande Punto, itself a car that has revived Fiat's fortunes worldwide.

The Linea finds the sweet spot between giving up looks for practicality, and sacrificing practicality at the altar of beauty. The bluff, Maserati-like two-part grille and twin-pod lights enliven things up at the front, and flow into the wheel arches, waistline and windscreen.

The seating position in the Linea is more than adequate - at the price, none of its owners will be complaining about legroom. Two six-footers will sit comfortably behind one another in the Linea, and there is enough headroom at the rear for tall passengers as well, although the rear windows don't go down all the way, which can be annoying.

There is space for your phone in the armrest between the front seats, the glovebox is usefully large, and we found that on long drives, chocolates can be kept cool by placing them in the small space provided above the central air-con vents.

The Fiat Linea is available with two engine variants, the the 1.4-litre FIRE petrol engine and the 1.3-litre multijet diesel engine.Both engines are transversely placed and power the front wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission.

The gear ratios in the Linea are well matched to the engine, making both city and highway driving convenient.

The diesel Linea will offer you at least 10kpl during normal driving, and on a constant high-speed highway run, we managed to achieve 14kpl without trying hard. The petrol is also quite efficient, offering between 10 and 11kpl during normal usage.

The Lineas have been designed to give occupants a comfortable ride without compromising on great handling - people who own Fiats will vouch for this.

Fiat Linea Expected launch Date is: May 2013

Fiat Linea Estimated Price is:Rs 7,12,301 to Rs 9,55,180
