The Fiat Ritmo is a small family car which was manufactured and marketed by Fiat from 1978 to 1988 with two facelifts. It has a front-engine, front-wheel drive layout and was offered as a three-door or five-door hatchback or as a two-door cabriolet. Export versions for the UK, US and Canada were marketed as the Fiat Strada. In 1979, SEAT Ritmo production began under licence by SEAT in Spain, which was restyled in 1982 to become the SEAT Ronda. The Ritmo was styled by Sergio Sartorelli at Fiat's Centro Stile in Turin and was launched in April 1978 at the Turin Motor show. The name Ritmo derives from the Italian for "rhythm", and Strada derives from the Italian for "road."
