The 132 was introduced in May 1972 as the replacement for the 125. Featuring either a 1592cc dohc (98bhp) engine or a 1756cc dohc (105bhp) unit, the mechanicals were developments of the earlier cars. A new but conventional three box saloon body was available in two trim levels, 'normale' and 'special', with minor differences. In 1974 the range was slightly revised, there now being two models, the 1600 GLS and the 1800 GLS.
A major facelift was completed in 1977 when, after the demise of the 130, the 132 became the 'flagship' of the Fiat range. Numerous detail changes, such as bumpers, mirrors and trim were accompanied by the replacement of the 1800 by a 1995cc dohc (112bhp) engine and the fitting of drum brakes at the rear. The 1600 continued, albeit in the revised bodyshell.
1978 saw the introduction of the 132 diesel, available with either a 2000 or 2500 engine. These cars are easily recognizable since the bonnet has a bulge to clear the new engines. The following year, at the Frankfurt Motorshow, Fiat unveiled the 132 2000 injection fitted with a Bosch L-Jetronic system and now producing 122bhp.
These various versions soldiered on until 1981 when production of the 132 ceased. The replacement was really a facelifted version and called the Argenta. Now offered with the 1600 and 2000 petrol engines, both injected, and the 2500 diesel engine, the Argenta was also available with a three speed automatic. A carburettored 2000 engine (113bhp) was also fitted for some export markets.
The range was revised in 1983 when 1585cc and 1995cc models were renamed the 100ie and 120ie respectively, the 1995cc carburettor model becoming the '110'. Changes were made to the front suspension, steering and brakes, whilst the 120ie also gained a rear anti-roll bar. Externally the grille, bumpers and wheels changed.
In 1984 there appeared a supercharged Argenta (the Volumex with 135bhp) and a turbo diesel (90bhp). This latter was the first production Fiat to use a turbocharged diesel engine, with a KKK unit providing 0.87 bar of boost. The normally aspirated unit continued to be available.
