Production Span Across the 1990s
The Tempra was introduced in 1990 and was produced until the mid‑1990s, with sources noting production ending in 1996, while other references extend its run to 1998. This long production period reflects its steady presence in the market throughout the decade.
Mid‑Cycle Facelift Refresh
During its lifecycle the Tempra received a major facelift, often referred to as a “face‑lift,” which updated its styling and offered new engine options such as the 2.0 L 16V version. The redesign helped keep the model competitive in the family‑car segment.
Replacement for an Earlier Fiat Model
The Tempra was positioned as the successor to an earlier small family car in Fiat’s range, aiming to fill the gap left by its predecessor and strengthen Fiat’s offering of mid‑size family vehicles in the 1990s.
