The '''Fiat Bravo''' and '''Fiat Brava''' are two [[compact car|compact]] [[automobile]]s produced by the [[Italy|Italian]] manufacturer [[Fiat]] from [[1995]] to [[2001]].  Effectively two versions of the same car, the Bravo is a 3-door [[hatchback]] and the Brava a 5-door hatchback.

The Bravo and Brava were replacements for [[Fiat]]'s successful but ageing [[Fiat Tipo|Tipo]] model. The cars came with all new engines, the base model using a 1370 cc 12-valve engine producing 80 bhp. Two other [[gasoline|petrol]] engines were available: the 103 bhp 1581 cc 16-valve engine and the top of the range 1998cc 20-valve R5 unit used in the HGT model, which produced 147 bhp and which could take the car to a maximum speed of 135 mph.  Two turbo[[diesel]] engines were also available: both were 1910 cc four cylinder units, one producing 75 bhp and the other making 100 bhp. The Bravo/Brava was voted [[European Car of the Year]] on its launch.

In [[1996]] the Bravo/Brava chassis spawned [[sedan (car)|saloon]] and [[station wagon|estate]] versions, badged [[Fiat Marea]], which won praise for their large amounts of [[boot]] space.  Another car based on the Bravo/Brava underpinnings was launched in [[1998]]: the curious looking [[Fiat Multipla]], a six-seater [[minivan|mini-MPV]].

The Bravo/Brava received a mild makeover in [[1999]] but there were few real changes except the addition of a 1.2 16-valve engine from the smaller [[Fiat Punto]] and a restyling of the dashboard. The 1.9 turbo-diesel was also upgraded to give even better economy and refinement.

By the [[21st century]] the Bravo/Brava range was looking increasingly dated in the face of new competition like the [[Ford Focus]] and [[Peugeot 307]]. The Bravo/Brava was discontinued in late [[2001]], and replaced by the all-new [[Fiat Stilo]].
