While the mechanicals remains unchanged, the Linea Elegante comes only in a diesel engine option with the much celebrated 1.3 litre Multijet engine that produces 92bhp at 4,000 rpm and 209 Nm at 2,000 rpm, paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox. It has a ARAI-certified fuel efficiency of 20.4 km/l. The Linea Elegante makes for a fine proposition for discerning customers who want flair and style coupled with the economy of a diesel car and a strong build.  The Linea has the distinction of being a first mover in its segment on account of many a features offered in the car, when first launched in 2009.

The facelifted Linea was launched  in March 2014, however, it has not attracted customers enough as well as the desired sales volumes, which remain very low. The Linea Elegante is an attempt to woo customers who have been exploring other options, back to Fiat showrooms. The Linea as car has adequate credentials, however, lately it has failed to entice buyers, primarily on account of mediocre performance from its diesel engine. Fiat hopes to increase some volumes riding on the Elegante
