The New Fiat Strada therefore features strong, distinctive styling. Plus a generous, regular load surface designed to ensure that the vehicle can perform its working mission to the best of its abilities. And lastly power units that make the model a benchmark for its car-standard performance. 

Firstly, the 80 bhp 1.9 JTD delivers 59 kW at 4000 rpm, and a torque of 196 kgm at just 1500 rpm. The model can reach 163 km/h when equipped with this engine. 
The New Fiat Strada may also be equipped with a 1.2 MPI petrol engine or a 1.9 diesel. The former delivers a maximum power output of 60 bhp at 5000 rpm and a maximum torque of 10.4 kgm at 2500 rpm. The 1910 cc aspirated diesel delivers a 63 bhp at 4500 rpm and 12.0 kgm at 2500 rpm. 

SUSPENSION & BRAKES

This vehicle also offers outstanding roadholding and ease of driving and is the only member of its category to come with front wheel drive. The new model owes the greater part of its performance to its suspension geometry, which has been designed to withstand high loads and also cosset its occupants even on difficult roads. 
The front suspension features an independent MacPherson strut layout with forged steel lower wishbones and antiroll bar. 

The rear suspension is live axle with longitudinal single-section parabolic leaf springs. In other words, a configuration that effectively dampens vibrations from the road surface and also assures maximum driving stability even when the load is not uniformly distributed. The rear axle is also omega-shaped, i.e. with the central portion raised, enabling it to tackle any type of terrain in complete safety. An effective engine and gearbox guard is also available as an option to protect underbody components from accidental bumping. 

The braking system, with 9" servo, is a double crossover circuit with electronic brakeforce distributor (EBD in conjunction with 4-channel ABS, available as an option). 
The front brakes are disc type, ventilated, with diameter of 257 mm. The rear drum brakes come with self-centring shoes and automatic play take-up. Their diameter is 228 mm.
