The Fiat Linea is a small family car released in 2007 by the Italian automaker Fiat as a world car in Eastern Europe, Latin America and Middle East. In India, the Fiat Linea was launched in January 2009 after it was postponed due to the Mumbai terror attacks, in November 2008. It will replace the aging Marea as the largest saloon in the Fiat range. It is based on the current Fiat Grande Punto platform. The Linea was designed by Fiat Style Centre and co-developed by Fiat do Brasil and Tofaş from Turkey.

Linea's size is similar to saloon versions of other small family cars, like the Ford Focus, Renault Mégane and Opel Astra. Its wheelbase is 2603mm, i.e. 100mm longer than its sister models, and its total length is 4560mm or 500mm.
