In spring 1977, the 127 received a make-over and saw its range increased. Three different trim variants were now offered: L, C and CL. The engine portfolio was also increased, adding a 1050 cc, 50 bhp single overhead camshaft engine to the 45 bhp 903 cc unit. Output of the 903 cc motor basically remained unchanged.
By 1979, production of the 127 had reaced the 4-million-mark. Since 1973, it had been the best-selling European car.
In 1980, a 5-door variant of the 127 C (Comfort) was added to the line-up and remained available until 1981. The car was powered by the 903 cc engine with 45 bhp and reached a top speed of 135 km/h. In 1981, it was then replaced by the new 5-door 127 Super.
Still in 1980, Fiat launched the 127 Panorama, which was a 3-door estate version based on the 147 built in Brasil. The Panorama drove witha 2050 cc single overhead camshaft engine, making about the same power as the 127. Mechanical changes were done on the suspension, radiator, gearbox, final drive ratio, brakes and fuel tank. In Fiat's line-up, the 127 Panorama replaced the 128 Panorama.
By February 1981, a diesel version of the 127 was prsented. It used the thicker bodywork of the 2. series Brasilian 147 model, wich meant a weight-increase to 1255 kg. It also had a different final gear ratio, larger tyres and a different front design. The 1301 cc engine achieved an output of 45 bhp. With the introduction of the diesel engine, it was also introduced to the 127 Panorama variant.
In November 1981, the second generation ended and a new 127 was launched.
