Second generation (326; 2012)
The second generation of the Fiat Siena (Type 326) was unveiled in South America in 2012,[49] under the Fiat Grand Siena name and from 2015 to 2018 under the Dodge Vision name in Mexico,[50] as the production of the previous generation continues along the new version.[51]
The platform of the new generation is derived from the new Palio, but with a longer wheelbase. The exterior design is different from the new Palio and was inspired by the Fiat Bravo, while the rear design was inspired by Fiat Linea. The interior is the same used in the Palio, with specific details.
The Grand Siena is larger than its predecessor, but smaller than the Fiat Linea compact car.[52] It is powered by a new Fiat E.torq 1.6-liter flex fuel engine, that delivers around 115 PS, or by the smaller 1.4 16V Fire EVO Tetrafuel engine with a maximum power of 85 PS. The new model weighs less and has more legroom compared to its predecessor. The front suspension uses the same MacPherson system of the new Palio, but the rear suspension uses a new type of torsion beam.
Production of the Grand Siena started in 2012, at first at the Betim plant in Brazil. The Grand Siena is marketed in South America and Mexico (as the Dodge Vision).[50] In 2018 production of the engine 1.4 Fire Evo flex and 1.6 E.torQ flex end, the only engine available is the 1.0 Fire Evo flex.[53]
The 2017 model received small changes, such as a redesigned grille, new interior colors and the relocation of the USB connector to the center console in the versions with manual transmission.[54]
For the 2020 model, it was only sold in Brazil with some changes: it is offered with two engines, a 1.0 of 75 PS and 1.4 of 88 PS, in both cases with a five-speed manual gearbox. Optional for the 1.4 is the prep for the installation of CNG.[55]
The Grand Siena production ended at the end of December 2021 because of Proconve L7 emissions standards.[56]
