Rigel Tinto Sedan 1998 1.1

Rigel Tinto sedan (1998)

One year after the launch of the Rigel Tinto hatchback 5 and 3-door, the Rigel Tinto Sedan reaches the European and Latin American markets. Starting from the same base as the Tinto mk2, the manufacture of a 5-door saloon with a classic aesthetic hatchback has been achieved and that will compete against heavyweights such as the Renault Megane Classic, Opel Astra Sedan and other compact sedans of the time.

This 5-door sedan will come to the European market with three versions of equipment, in which we find more affordable models such as the classic “Young” and the top-of-the-range called “Dynamic”. It will mount the same family of engines as the Tinto hatchback and this will have a wide catalog of diesel and gasoline engines. The strongest point of the sedan with respect to the Tinto range, is its greater trunk capacity as it is a three-volume and has a large tailgate, thus increasing the cargo capacity of the trunk and turning it into a car more spacious for a family.

Versions trims and engines

Young: the version of access to the range in Europe, already known since the beginning of the Spanish brand, is designed for those who need a practical and comfortable car for day to day and who have a tighter budget. To reduce the price as much as possible, it incorporates a non-metallic paint at no additional cost, and the possibility of optionally placing hubcaps or rear headrests. Despite its low standard price, it has electric power steering, ABS brakes and dual front, passenger and driver airbags.

Mercosur: for Latin American markets, a special finish will be launched that reduces its equipment to offer an adjusted price and at the same time adapt the vehicle to more battered roads. A new low-consumption three-cylinder engine, reinforced suspensions and a higher ground clearance are its characteristics to succeed in the Latin American markets.
