The interiors of the Grande Punto are derived from that of its sibling the Fiat Linea. The inside of the Grande Punto is ergonomically designed with grey and black dual tone interiors in the Emotion and the Emotion Pack variants. Like the Linea, the interiors are clean with decent fit and finish of the plastics and the Punto logo stitched on the seats and the floor mats.

The orange backlit instrument cluster of the Grande Punto has four dials with a digital odometer and trip meter which even reads out trip time, mileage, trip time for two trips. The Grande Punto has the same single CD Blaupunkt music system with 6 speakers which is present in the Fiat Linea with the Blue&Me package available in the Emotion Pack variant. The Follow Me Home feature is a feature seen on all the variants of the Grande Punto, a feature which goes missing on most of its competition. Here, again just like the Linea, the driver side power window controls are placed a little too far ahead which makes it a bit inconvenient to open and close the desired window.

The tilt-adjustable steering and height adjustable driver’s seat makes it possible to fine-tune a driver’s seating for maximum comfort. The slim A-pillar and large windshield increases the front visibility, however the thick C-pillar and small rear windshield reduces rear-end visibility causing problems while parking in tight spots. The reach and spread of the Grande Punto's headlamps are decent enough for city and highway driving.

Comfort has never been an issue in the Grande Punto. Climb into the front row seats and you will find ample headroom and legroom. Jump into the back seats and you won’t be disappointed either. The Fiat hatchback can comfortably seat four 6-foot adults for long distances without causing fatigue.

The boot of the Grande Punto is fairly large with a boot capacity of 280 litres. In terms of safety, the hatchback’s top variant comes equipped with dual stage airbags for driver and co-driver and the Emotion series comes with height-adjustable seat belts.
