Fiat Tipo Cross (2016 – 2024) Review
Fiat Tipo Cross (2016 – 2024) At A Glance
Insurance Groups are between 6–15
On average it achieves 79% of the official MPG figure
The Fiat Tipo Cross is capable family transport, but it’s more of an appliance than something to be enjoyed. You could probably put up with its shortcomings, but then why should you when there are many much better cars in the small SUV class? Read on for our full Fiat Tipo Cross review.
They say that ‘you pays your money and you takes your choice’. The thing is, what if your priority is to pay as little money as possible, and you don’t give a flying Fiat about the quality of what that money gets you?
Well, that’s where the Fiat Tipo used to come in, but not any more in Fiat Tipo Cross form, as it costs just as much as its more talented rivals such as the Skoda Scala, the value-packed Dacia Jogger and even the Ford Focus Active.
The Fiat Tipo Cross is a compact family hatchback masquerading as a small SUV, although it does so with ample interior space and a big boot. It comes with a single engine option now, which is a 130PS 1.5-litre mild hybrid-assisted petrol unit.
While the engine is a welcome improvement for the Fiat Tipo Cross, its dual-clutch automatic transmission is much less welcome.
Also unwanted are the price increases that see the Fiat Tipo Cross now on a cost par as its more able competitors, so value for money is no longer the saviour it once was.
Add in unimpressive safety equipment and this Fiat is well towards the bottom of its class.
Fiat Tipo Cross (2016 – 2024) handling and engines
- Engines range from 1.0 Tipo Cross to 1.6 MultiJet
- Readers report Real MPG to be between 28–68 mpg
Fiat Tipo Cross (2016 – 2024): Handling and ride quality
The Fiat Tipo Cross is not an uncomfortable car by any means, with a rather soft suspension set-up. Despite this, most rivals do a better job of mopping up the effects of a scruffy road surface, and that’s the case at all speeds.
Even on roads that look fairly immaculate, you’ll feel a tremor resonating underneath you that you just don’t feel in rivals.
The softness in the suspension also results in a floaty feel over crests and more body roll in corners, and that – plus the fact it’s shorter on front-end grip than most rivals – means it doesn’t feel particularly eager about changing direction.
Its agility is further dented by its steering. It’s too heavy at low speeds, too light at higher speeds, and not very accurate whatever your speed.
Fiat Tipo Cross (2016 – 2024): Engines
You have a single engine choice with the Fiat Tipo Cross and it’s a perfectly fine 1.5-litre petrol motor with mild hybrid assistance.
It’s not excessively noisy in use, and it doesn’t guzzle fuel or belch out too much by way of emissions.
All good so far, but then we come to the dual-clutch automatic gearbox, a transmission that seems to have a crisis of confidence every time it has to make a decision or is asked to do something.
Want to overtake a slower car? When you put your foot down on the accelerator pedal, the gearbox just dithers before eventually realising what’s required. All in, it ruins the driving experience on a regular basis.
Fiat Tipo Cross (2016 – 2024): Safety
Automatic emergency braking is provided on all Fiat Tipo Cross models (along with six airbags and stability control), but it only works at low speeds and it won’t recognise pedestrians, only other cars.
When the system was tested by Euro NCAP back in 2016, the organisation found it didn’t work very well anyway, and awarded it no points.
At the time of the tests, the Fiat Tipo scored three stars as standard and four with the optional safety pack. These scores have now expired as Euro NCAP’s testing methods have evolved.
Adaptive cruise control, blind spot assist, driver fatigue warning and parking sensors help, as does the lane support system.
But all told, the Fiat Tipo Cross is not as well endowed with safety gear as most of its rivals.
Fiat Tipo Cross (2016 – 2024): Towing
If you're looking for a tow car, the Fiat Tipo Cross can handle an unbraked trailer of up to 500kg. Hook up with a braked trailer and the Fiat can haul up to 1500kg.

Fiat Tipo Cross (2016 – 2024): Practicality
The front seats are roomy enough for people of all shapes and sizes, and while the rear seats aren’t class leading for headroom and legroom, they’re up to the job for families.
You’d have to be well over six feet tall before you find yourself short on headroom, and even then, your knees should fit behind a similarly-sized driver in reasonable comfort.
However, the Fiat Tipo Cross is not great for carrying three in the back, because the backrest of the central seat is hard and uncomfortable, and you don’t get a great deal of space for your feet.
The boot is larger than those of most rivals – if not quite as big as you get in a Skoda Octavia or Honda Civic – so cargo carrying should never be a problem. However, while the space is big, it’s not particularly clever.
There’s a huge load lip that you’ll need to drop heavy items over, and no false floor to level it out. The rear seats fold down in a 60-40 split to boost capacity, but you’re left with a step in the load floor.
Fiat Tipo Cross (2016 – 2024): Quality and finish
This is a key area where the Fiat Tipo Cross falls markedly behind its rivals. There are too many hard, unappealing plastics in a cabin that has a general air of ‘that’ll do’.
But in 2023 it certainly won’t do, and this sort of fit and finish simply isn’t good enough at this price point.
Fiat Tipo Cross (2016 – 2024): Infotainment
The seven-inch touchscreen infotainment set-up in the Fiat Tipo Cross is much like that in most Fiat models.
It does the job and comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, as well as Bluetooth and DAB radio, but this is hardly something to write home about in this day and age.
Fiat Tipo Cross (2016 – 2024) value for money
Fiat Tipo Cross (2016 – 2024): Prices
Where the Fiat Tipo was once a family car for small hatch money, it’s now a wannabe SUV with a price that is hard to justify.
A Ford Puma is a much better bet in every respect, yet the Fiat Tipo Cross costs a similar amount with prices starting at £29,245 for the base model.
You’ll find plenty of early, low-spec Fiat Tipos for around the six grand mark, and that’s a lot of car for the money. Then again, there’s a reason they are so affordable.
That heavy depreciation won’t help keep monthly payments down, but it’s always worth looking on Fiat’s website for deals and promotions.
Fiat Tipo Cross (2016 – 2024): Running Costs
Tested against the latest WLTP standards, the Fiat Tipo Cross’ mild hybrid 1.5-litre engine offers combined economy of up to 53.3mpg and emissions of 119g/km, so first-year road tax costs £210 at the time of writing.
Servicing shouldn’t be expensive with this model, and insurance is also not a deal-breaker, as the Fiat Tipo Cross stretches from groups 22 to 24.
Reliability looks to be something of a mixed bag depending on which ownership survey you care to look at. Fiat figures in the top half of the manufacturer standings in Warranty Direct’s Reliability Index, while the JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study puts the brand close to the foot of the table.

March 2016
Fiat Tipo range revealed
Shown as a full range of hatchback, saloon and estate, although there will be no saloon sold in the UK. (The saloon has been on sale in Europe since Januaryn 2016.)
The new Tipo hatchback provides exceptional roominess and is capable of accommodating three six-feet-plus adult passengers in the rear - thanks to legroom and outstanding headroom - within its 4.37m long, 1.79m wide and 1.50m tall dimensions.
Its boot capacity is also best-in-class with a volume of 440 litres, while the estate version adds an additional 110 litres of boot space which, at 550 litres, is also class leading. It can carry loads of up to 1.8m in length courtesy of an extra 20cm of length (4.57m); a flip-and-fold 60/40 split rear seats and completely flat load floor. The estate body style has a height of 1.51m thanks to the standard-fit longitudinal roof bars.
Loading the boot of the estate is aided by a low load sill with reconfigurable components such as an adjustable load floor and removable side storage panels to further increase the width of the luggage compartment. The roller covers can conveniently be removed with one hand and stored under the floor panel, while two lights, two bag hooks and four load-retaining hooks positioned on the floor provide added convenience.
The Tipo features numerous cabin compartments with a variety of shapes and capacities totalling no less than 12 litres. Easily reachable by driver and passengers, these compartments are perfect for storing personal objects, smartphones, game consoles, bottles, coins and much more, including a USB port for charging and connecting devices. Maximum comfort is assured by the excellent driving ergonomics and the convenient arrangement of the secondary controls which can be reached easily without the driver having to take their eyes off the road.
In terms of the model range, both the hatchback and estate will be offered in three trim levels with air conditioning, remote central locking, rear electric windows (estate only), electric mirrors, six airbags, DAB digital radio and Bluetooth connectivity with steering wheel remote controls on all versions. Full range details will be announced closer to the car’s UK launch.
The engine range will comprise five engines in total. There are two turbo diesel engines – a 1.3-litre MultiJet II producing 95hp and 200Nm and a 1.6-litre MultiJet II with an output of 120hp and 320Nm, while the petrol engine range comprises a 1.4-litre 16v producing 95PS and 125Nm, a 1.4 turbo petrol with 120PS and 206Nm and the 1.6-litre e-TorQ engine producing 110hp and 152Nm and combined exclusively to a six-speed, torque converter automatic transmission.
The 1.6 litre turbo diesel engine, fitted with second-generation MultiJet technology and variable geometry turbocharger, delivers remarkable fuel efficiency and low emissions: On the official combined test cycle, the Tipo 1.6 MultiJet II 120hp returned 76.3mpg (3.7 litres/100km) and produces just 98g/km of emissions. This engine can also be combined with a six-speed TCT twin-clutch transmission.

The sense of sportiness is heightened inside the car, with a chrome steering wheel bezel, leather steering wheel and gear knob with detailed black stitching. A subtle chrome finish surrounds the air vents and handbrake button.
As standard, the new Tipo City Sport comes with keyless entry and go, ParkView rear parking camera, front parking sensors and electrically adjustable glossy black door mirrors, with defrosting and external temperature sensor.

Fiat Tipo Garmin special edition announced
Available in exclusive Foresta Green, the Tipo Garmin special series offers orange elements - such as the line on the side, the 'Garmin' badge on the B-pillar and matte black details, including door handles, roof bars and pillars. The result is a strong and bold colour combination, which is enhanced by the new light-grey matt paint used on mirror caps, skid plates, front grille inserts, fog lamp surrounds, side skirts and front and rear bumpers. The exterior is completed by exclusive 17" black alloy wheels with orange elements and LED front and rear lights. The interior reflects the look of the exterior, as shown by the orange detailing in the seats.
The Tipo Garmin special series is equipped with the new 1.5 T4 48 Volt Hybrid engine. In addition to the new Foresta Green, the Tipo Garmin special series comes in Gelato White, Colosseo Grey, Maestro Grey and Cinema Black liveries.
