Fiat Premio Scioneri

Fiat Duna 3 doors built for the brazilian market called Premio.

Vehicle Overview

The Fiat Premio Scioneri was a significant model for the Brazilian market, representing an innovative step for Fiat in South America. Introduced in March 1985 with the slogan “We live in a new time and deserve a prize”, the Fiat Premio was launched as a new compact sedan version of the popular Fiat Uno. It replaced the Fiat Oggi, a version of the Fiat 147 sedan, which was discontinued the same year. The Premio’s launch marked a major step for Fiat in Brazil, offering a more modern, spacious alternative in the compact sedan segment. The Fiat Premio was produced for nearly 10 years, until 1994, and quickly became a key player in Brazil’s automotive landscape. The model was particularly innovative, introducing several features that were groundbreaking in the Brazilian market. One of the most notable was the inclusion of a board computer—a first for Brazil—displaying crucial information such as fuel consumption, average speed, and vehicle range. This technology, which is now commonplace in many vehicles, was a novel feature at the time and contributed to the Fiat Premio’s reputation as a forward-thinking car. Additionally, the Premio was equipped with a 1.5 Sevel engine, marking a new chapter in Fiat’s engine offerings in Brazil. The engine produced 71.4 horsepower and 12.3 kgfm of torque, offering similar performance to the Uno Sx, despite being slightly heavier by 13 kg. The car also offered an interesting selling point—buyers could choose between a two-door or four-door version, a rarity at the time when many competitors only offered two-door compact sedans. Another strength of the Fiat Premio was its soft suspension, providing a comfortable ride, and its spacious interior with excellent finish quality. The 440-liter trunk was among the largest in its category in Brazil, adding to the car’s appeal. Developed in Brazil, the Premio was also sold in Latin American countries and Europe under the name Fiat Duna. It became one of Italy’s best-selling cars and, in Brazil, nearly 180,000 units were sold over its decade-long production run. The Premio’s legacy was eventually replaced by the Fiat Siena in 1997, but its impact on the Brazilian automotive market remains significant.
