For Brazil, the idea is to focus mainly on design, technology and strength for off-road work, 'including in the agricultural scenario'. For some regions in Africa, such as Algeria, the main characteristic will be efficiency in fuel consumption.
Even after completely revealing the Titano's design, Fiat continues to remain secretive regarding the specifications of the rival Hilux pickup truck. At least for the Brazilian market, since in Algeria it has already started pre-sales with the 1.9 turbodiesel engine under the hood.
