The Fiat Siena is the four-door sedan version of the Fiat Palio, a supermini car especially designed for developing countries.

Launched in 1996, in Brazil, as the four-door sedan of the Fiat Palio, codenamed Project 178, the Siena was made due to the important sales benchmark of notchback models in developing countries.

Fiat had considered changing the name to Palio Sedan, due to the lack of interest on the previous Siena, and the solid sales of its biggest competitor, the Chevrolet Prisma.

Up to this point, the Fiat Siena was the only model belonging to the Palio family that had not been well accepted by the community.

In November 2001, the Fiat Palio debuted on the Chinese market, with either the 1. 2 liter or the 1. 5 liter, followed by the Siena in November 2002, and the Palio Weekend in June 2003.

The Duna and Duna Weekend were replaced by the Fiat Siena and the Fiat Palio Weekend.
