Fiat Uno Original European Generation Turbo i.e. 1372 cc Inline-Four
The larger engine of the second-series Uno Turbo i.e. combined 1372 cc displacement with a Garrett T2 turbocharger. Stellantis quotes 116 CV for the non-catalysed version and 112 CV for the catalysed version.
The larger Turbo i.e. engine
The 1372 cc turbocharged petrol inline-four powered the second-series European Fiat Uno Turbo i.e.. Stellantis dates this series to 1989–1994. It followed the 1301 cc engine and introduced a Garrett T2 turbocharger. These changes developed the existing performance variant within the site’s original European Uno generation.
The manufacturer’s retrospective associates Uno Turbo production with Mirafiori in Turin, Italy. This identifies vehicle assembly; it does not establish the manufacturing location of the individual engine. Source: Stellantis Heritage.
Engineering and installation
The Uno’s underlying layout placed its engine transversely at the front and drove the front wheels. The Turbo i.e. designation identified the petrol performance branch, distinct from the Uno 70 Turbodiesel and its 1367 cc diesel engine. The earlier petrol Turbo had arrived in April 1985 with 1301 cc displacement and an IHI turbocharger; its specifications should not be transferred wholesale to this later engine.

For the larger engine, the important documented changes were increased displacement and the Garrett T2 installation. The manufacturer’s retrospective describes these alongside the second-series body and interior revisions, rather than as a separate Uno model line.
Catalysed and non-catalysed versions
Stellantis distinguishes two output specifications:
- Without a catalytic converter: 85 kW, quoted as 116 PS in the German retrospective and 116 CV in the Italian account.
- With a catalytic converter: 82 kW, quoted as 112 PS or 112 CV, offered for particular markets. The Italian account associates this version with Euro 1 emissions requirements.
CV and PS denote metric horsepower. These ratings describe separate emissions specifications, not a single interchangeable output. Neither retrospective provides a complete country-by-country introduction schedule, so the figures should not be assigned indiscriminately to every European model year.

Chronology and historical position
Stellantis gives 1989–1994 as the second-series period and notes some registrations in 1995. These are retrospective production and registration dates, not a universal model-year designation or evidence of production continuing into 1995.
The 1372 cc engine represents the later development of the Uno Turbo formula: greater displacement and revised turbocharging, with a separately rated catalyst-equipped version. The Punto GT subsequently took over the performance role. Source: Stellantis Heritage.
