Florida Overview:
Zastava Yugo (Florida). With 136 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. Weighing only 1000 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 11.5 s). The top speed reaches 175 km/h. A compact car with a rear door that swings upward to provide access to the cargo area. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Zastava Yugo Florida was not tested by Euro NCAP. Given its design era and target market, it would likely offer very basic passive safety features compared to contemporary Western European vehicles.
