The Fiat Brava was one of two versions of the same car, along with the Fiat Bravo, both of which were in production from 1995-2001. However, whereas the Bravo was a three-door hatchback, the Fiat Brava was a longer five-door hatchback. When it initially entered production, the Fiat Brava was the long-term replacements for the popular Tipo model. The cars came with a choice of three petrol engines and two turbo-diesel engines. On its launch, the Fiat Brava/Bravo even scooped the honour of European Car of the Year. The car re-entered production in 2007, but the Fiat Brava name was dropped and only the Bravo tag was used.
