Interestingly, the hatchback shares its styling cues with the Avventura crossover concept. The front façade of the car features the rounded-square grille complemented by black, blacked out headlamps.
The lower and wide air dam at the front is heavily sculpted with big, chrome-lined quarter for the trapezoidal shaped fog lamps. It also gets a new set of alloy wheels. Inside, the Punto hatchback shares its interior components with its sedan sibling, Linea. The model features beige and black interior, redone centre console, new upholstery on seats and others.
