The Ritmo range has been successfully selling throughout Australia for some time now. A feature in the range has to be the highly efficient and pleasantly powerful 1.9 JTD Dynamic.

The styling is a feature in itself. Few cars in its class can match the curves and grace of this medium sized hatch. There is an effortless blend of sweeping lines, wholesome curves, exquisite detailing and balance in proportion to win any beauty contest against any of the Ritmo rivals. The car looks sporty, and yet boasts a very practical interior that has good leg, head and shoulder room.

Hop inside the cabin, and the seats are instantly supportive and malleable to the curves of one’s back. The Fiat Ritmo Dynamic 1.9 JTD comes with plenty of luxury items to keep you comfortable over the long haul, and so the air conditioning, power windows, cruise control, CD-stereo and steering wheel audio controls help to create a relaxed atmosphere that is kissed with Italian style and flair. The lighter coloured central control panel, in the dash, is modern and simplistic, and an onboard computer keeps the driver up-to-date with the journey’s info. Use of chrome and carbon finishing has created a very smart and beautiful interior to match the exquisite exterior. Luggage space is a useful 400 litres, which is increased to to 1175 litres when the rear seats are laid flat.

At the push of a button, the engine fires and smoothly turns over. Fiat’s exceptional prowess in diesel technology has ensured the Ritmo boasts a class-leading 255 Nm of torque and a strong 88kW of power. Also leading the way is the 5.3/100 km fuel economy figure – as if the looks of the Fiat Ritmo 1.9 JTD weren’t attractive enough. The engine’s frugality is accessed via a light, easy-shifting five-speed gearbox.

Underway, the Fiat Ritmo 1.9 JTD is a pleasure to drive both leisurely and with vigour. On the open highway and in the city, the Ritmo’s handling is perfect. The Ritmo is highly maneuverable and boasts good visibility about the car’s dimensions.
