Recreating the Fiat Uno v Maruti Zen comparison 28 years later | Gone But Not Forgotten | evo India

In the latest episode of Gone But Not Forgotten, we recreate the iconic Fiat Uno vs Maruti Zen comparison test, originally featured in the May 1997 issue of Auto India magazine. This was one of the most significant small car rivalries of its time!

Back in the day, Maruti Udyog (now Maruti Suzuki) dominated India’s small car segment with the Maruti 800 virtually without competition. That changed when Premier Automobiles Limited brought the Fiat Uno into the Indian market in 1995. Globally launched in 1983, the Uno had once been Fiat’s best-selling hatchback and was poised to challenge Maruti’s supremacy in India.

In this nostalgic throwback, we dive into the origins and legacy of the Fiat Uno, the protests, delays, and controversies that led to its downfall in India, and how the Maruti Zen capitalised on Fiat’s missteps to solidify its place in Indian automotive history

From retro car lovers to Indian auto history buffs, this episode is packed with insights, memories, and a tribute to two iconic small cars of the 1990s.
