Description

The Autobianchi A112 LX was one of the more luxurious variants of the A112 series, designed to appeal to buyers looking for comfort and elegance in a compact city car. Introduced in the later production years of the model, the LX built upon the base platform of the A112 but featured upgraded trim and additional amenities.

Under the hood, it was typically powered by a 965 cc or 1050 cc four-cylinder engine, depending on the production year and market, offering a balance between fuel efficiency and peppy performance. It retained the front-wheel-drive layout and compact proportions that made the A112 ideal for urban driving and tight European streets.

The LX variant distinguished itself with enhancements such as improved interior upholstery—often featuring velour or higher-quality fabrics—along with more sophisticated dashboard instrumentation, padded interior surfaces, and additional sound insulation. On the exterior, subtle styling cues like chrome trim, metallic paint options, and specific badging set it apart from the more utilitarian trims.

The Autobianchi A112 LX was a smart blend of practicality and comfort, offering drivers a refined small car experience without sacrificing the agility and charm that made the A112 such a beloved model throughout its production run.
