The '''[[Autobianchi Primula]]''' is a small car ([[Supermini car|supermini]]) from the [[Italy|Italian]] automaker, [[Autobianchi]] (a subsidiary of the [[Fiat|Fiat Group]]), built from 1964 to 1970. It was notable as Fiat's first ever automobile with the [[front-wheel drive]], [[transverse engine]] setup, as well as the first Fiat group car with [[rack and pinion]] steering. Primulas were built in the Autobianchi factory in [[Desio]] and were priced comparably to the [[BMC ADO16|Austin/Morris 1100]] models built in Italy by [[Innocenti]].

The car's original body was similar to the BMC's [[fastback]] "[[saloon car|saloon]]" concept, available with two or four doors and with or without the rear hatch (which made the car effectively a [[hatchback]]), producing four different combinations, referred to in Italian as ''"[[Sedan (automobile)|berlina]]"''. In 1965, a year after the original launch, the lineup was complemented with a [[Coupé]] model (effectively a more stylish yet spacious 2-door fastback) designed by [[Carrozzeria Touring]].
