The competicion in Brasil was the Chevrolet Corsa Sedán, but after the Fiat, Ford and Renault came to fight with the Fiesta Sedan and the Clio Classique (Known in Europe as Renault Thalia). The range was made from Fiassa and Fire petrol engines between 1.0L and 1.6L. Tough competion from chevrolet and poor design made the FIAT siena strugle to sell.

Also, new engines came as the 16 valve FIRE engines 1.0L 70cv and the 1.2L 82cv. In Turkey and China, the Mk.II series gain a 'SpeedGear' Gearbox. With this new design, the small car was finally able to fight for it's place in the market, becoming a success in sales. FIAT had considered changing the name to Palio Sedan, due to the lack of interest on the previous Siena, and the solid sales of it's biggest competitor, the Chevrolet Corsa Sedan. This idea was later discarded. Up to this point, the FIAT Siena was the only model belonging to the Palio family that had not been well accepted by the community. Therefore FIAT gave special attention to the design of this model in particular, having it's rear entirely redesigned.
The 2004 Mk.III Series
The new Mk.III comes in 2004. The designer was again, Giorgetto Giugiaro. It has a new front, rear and interior design. The 04' Siena was the very first Brazilian compact sedán with 4 airbags (2 at front and 2 sidebags), light and rain sensor, park assistance, etc. The engines range en SouthAmerica is now composed by a 1.4 Fire 8 valve with 80cv (the same of the latest Fiat Punto, and a 1.8 Powertrain 8 valve with 112cv, shared with the Chevrolet Corsa. In Europe, the new model features a Mk.III front and interior design and a Mk.II rear. In Mexico was sold as Palio Sedan with the 1.6 16v Torque engine.
