About the car: Fiat Tipo, 4-door

The Fiat Tipo has been built by Fiat from 2015 to 2026. Saloon sales began in November 2015 in Italy, Spain and France, and the Tipo received a facelift in 2021.

In the photo in post 955, the grey Tipo has a roof without roof rails. For this reason the Tema bars are fixed with the fitting system made for the car, and accessories are fitted with a U-bolt fitting on the outside of the bar, not in a channel. If you have questions about compatibility, contact us and we will help.
