The Mark III was released in 2004, designed again by [[Giorgetto Giugiaro]]. It was a completely new design, with inspirations in the [[Fiat Punto]] and the [[Fiat Stilo]]. The 2004 Palio was the very first Brazilian model in the B-segment available with four [[airbag]]s (two front airbags and two side airbags), parking assistance, and light and rain sensor. In Europe, the new model featured a Mark III front fascia and interior and a Mark II rear fascia. The latest development in Brazil was the launch of a new sport version called the '''Palio 1.8R''' which has a new version of the General Motors 1.8 L "[[GM Family 1 engine#GM_do_Brazil|Powertrain]]" engine rated at 115 hp (ethanol) and 112 hp (gasoline), lowered suspension, new 14 inch alloy wheels, new seats, and other sporting features. The third generation of the Palio had huge sales numbers, even getting higher sales in some months than VW Gol, the Brazilian best-selling car for over twenty-four years.
