Fiat Tipo Leasing

One of the Tipo’s main strengths is its practicality. There’s a decent amount of cabin storage, spread across a variety of cubby holes, plus a generous boot. The hatchback offers 440 litres of storage space – that’s comfortably more than you’ll find in the Ford Focus, the Vauxhall Astra or the Volkswagen Golf, which are the traditional benchmarks for cars of this class.

There’s also an estate version (referred to by Fiat as a Station Wagon). This offers a useful increase in boot volume – although at 550 litres, it doesn’t outperform its rivals in quite the same way as the hatchback. A Ford Focus Estate, in comparison, is fractionally roomier.

Space in the back is another plus point. There’s more rear legroom than you’ll find in most cars of this size. Headroom isn’t quite so generous in the hatchback, but the Station Wagon offers slightly more.

The Tipo is a relatively economical car. Exact fuel economy figures will depend on the model that you choose. With the new 1.0-litre engine, the Tipo hatchback returns up to 51.4mpg, while the Tipo Cross and Tipo City Sport are somewhat thirstier at 48.7mpg. The Station Wagon sits in between the 2 at 50.4mpg. 

These figures are roughly average for the class, with the Tipo more or less matching the fuel economy of some of its more expensive rivals. Speaking of which, it’s worth bearing in mind that lease rates for the Tipo tend to be usefully lower than its big-name competitors, which will also reduce your monthly outgoings.

It’s hard to say definitively for the Tipo, as it isn’t produced in particularly large numbers. But Fiat as a brand has a good reputation for reliability these days. It beat Ford and Volkswagen in a recent reliability survey carried out by Auto Express.

At 440 litres, the Tipo Hatchback’s boot is one of the largest in its class. Meanwhile, the Tipo Station Wagon’s 550-litre boot is roughly average for a compact estate car.

There are 4 main trim lines on the hatchback: Tipo, Life, City Sport and Cross. Only the first 2 are available on the Station Wagon. There are also a small number of additional options available including satellite navigation, blind spot monitoring and heated front seats.

Yes. All versions come with rear parking sensors. Front parking sensors and a rear camera are available on City Sport and Cross models.

Plenty of cabin storage, 60/40-split folding rear seats and a generous boot make the Tipo impressively practical for a midsized family car. It’s not as roomy as the Skoda Octavia, but it offers more space than most of its rivals. If practicality is a priority, the Tipo Station Wagon offers usefully more room in the boot.

The Fiat Tipo is a sound leasing choice due to its practicality and value-for-money. Pound-for-pound, you’d typically be looking at a smaller car or more basic trim level from most of the other major brands.
