Equipment and Trim Levels
Fiat Marengo (Tempra commercial) |
Only two trim levels were available in its early years: standard (S) and SX, both reasonably equipped considering the Tempra's low price.
SX models for example, featured power windows, power locks, adjustable belts and steering wheel, front fog lights, body coloured bumpers, velvet upholstery, a futuristic digital dashboard and many other standard extras. They were also available with optional extras like anti-lock brakes, alloy wheels, sunroof, electronic climate control, etc.
A facelift in April 1993 featured more trim levels, now ranging from the standard models ("L" in the UK, where it was only available with 1.4 engine) via the S and SX to the top SLX, which was only available with 1.8 and 2.0 litre engines in the UK. An optional driver's airbag was another innovation that year. The four-wheel drive Station Wagons continued to be available in some markets such as Switzerland.
There was also the domestic market Marengo, a name also used before with the Regata Weekend and later again with the Marea Wagon. This is a commercial version of the Tempra which was based on the Station Wagon version, but with basic equipment, heavily tinted rear windows, and no rear seats. The engines were most commonly the naturally aspirated diesels.

“Manhood is melted into courtesies, valour into compliment, and men are only turned into tongue, and trim ones, too.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The country is fed up with children and their problems. For the first time in history, the differences in outlook between people raising children and those who are not are beginning to assume some political significance. This difference is already a part of the conflicts in local school politics. It may spread to other levels of government. Society has less time for the concerns of those who raise the young or try to teach them.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
