This cross is powered by both petrol and a diesel unit under the hood. Making up for an efficient yet powerful drive is its 1.3 litre multijet diesel motor that is capable enough to churn out 93 PS of peak power at 4000 rpm and an impressive torque of 209 Nm available as low as 2000 rpm. This engine is not really a sprinter but it packs enough torque to push this crossover over multiple terrains. However, you can’t really expect an all terrain driving performance from this front wheel drive setup, but the diesel engine delivers a punchy drive on the whole given its linear torque delivery. On the other hand, Fiat also powers the Avventura with a 1.4 litre petrol heart that delivers 90 PS of peak power at a higher 6000 rpm along with a maximum torque of 115 Nm at 4500 rpm. The petrol drive offers a little smoother drive as compared to its diesel avatar, but as soon as the revs climb high you tend to miss out on the fun factor. The initial punch of the petrol unit is quite impressive but you do feel that dearth of power when revving the engine hard. While driving within the city, both its petrol and diesel avatars are great performers. Both the avatar’s are mated to a standard 5 speed manual gearbox which offers smooth shifts. The only concern can be the hard feedback from the clutch especially in its diesel offering, which is not the most refined in the segment. However, Fiat has done a remarkable job in beefing up its suspension setup compared to its hatch sibling, and what you get now is a more stiffer and planted ride on the whole which is ready to take on all the bad sections of the roads with ease.
