Brazilian Flex Hybrid Pickup Promises to Combine Toro’s Price, Strada’s Size, and Up to 1,000 km of Range in a Project Scheduled for Launch in 2026, Betting on an Electric Motor with Ethanol Range Extender.

Described by the manufacturer as the first Brazilian compact flex hybrid pickup, the Lecar Campo has entered pre-sale with a promotional price of R$ 159,300, a value the company claims will hold until the end of 2025.

The model is presented as a competitor to the Fiat Toro but has the size of the Strada and bets on an electric architecture with a range extender to promise up to 1,000 km with 30 liters of ethanol.

Price and Market Positioning

Lecar promotes the Campo as a direct alternative to the Toro, with a price tag close to the entry-level versions of Fiat’s pickup.

Although rivalry is part of the narrative, the proposal combines Toro’s price with Strada’s dimensions, a strategy aimed at those seeking more usable space than traditional compact options but not wanting to reach the size of mid-sized pickups.

Compact Pickup Dimensions

Lecar Campo is the new Brazilian flex hybrid pickup with Strada’s size, Toro’s price, and a promised range of 1,000 km.

According to the released specifications, the Campo measures 4.50 m in length, 1.82 m in width, 1.60 m in height, and has a wheelbase of 2.70 m.

The body, the columns, and the ground clearance bring the model closer to the Fiat Strada, especially in the double cab versions, reinforcing its fit in the compact segment.

For reference, the Fiat Strada double cab measures 4.48 m in length, 1.73 m in width, 1.60 m in height, and has a 2.74 m wheelbase.

In this factory comparison, Lecar aims to differentiate itself through the cargo bed.

Cargo Bed and Load Capacity

According to the manufacturer, the Campo’s cargo bed has 900 liters of capacity and measures about 1.30 m in length.

The declared payload is 650 kg, a figure aligned with the segment’s standard.

In the Strada, the advertised volumetric capacity is 844 liters in the double cab versions.

Powertrain: Electric with Range Extender

The pickup uses rear electric traction with 165 hp and 26.3 kgfm.

Lecar Campo is the new Brazilian flex hybrid pickup with Strada's size, Toro's price, and a promised range of 1,000 km.

The energy can come from a 18.4 kWh LFP battery or be generated by a 1.0 turbo flex engine supplied by Horse Powertrain (Renault group), the same used in the Renault Kardian and the new generation of the Nissan Kicks.

Important: the combustion engine does not drive the wheels; it only powers a 50 kW generator, eliminating the need for a transmission.

With this architecture, the company estimates it can achieve 1,000 km with 30 liters of ethanol, which would equate to 33.3 km/l in the described ideal scenario.

This is a projection from the brand itself, still without official verification from an independent body.

Safety and Convenience Features

The disclosed package includes six airbags, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, disc brakes on all four wheels, and independent rear suspension, in addition to a multimedia center.

These features position the Campo’s offering at a content level similar to that of more expensive pickups on the market.

Delivery Time and Project Status

Lecar states that the Campo will be launched in August 2026.

The schedule is considered ambitious because, so far, the pickup has only been shown in static models, with no functional prototype publicly displayed.

In parallel, the company continues to promote the development of the SUV 459 and the construction of its factory in Sooretama (ES), still in implementation.

Specialized publications have highlighted that the timelines are tight for a vehicle that has not begun any known road tests.

Rivalry: Toro on Price, Strada on Size

Although the brand’s communication points to the Toro as the “target,” the dimensional reality brings the Campo closer to the Strada and the Saveiro.

The reading, therefore, is of a compact pickup with a price positioned to compete with entry-level and mid-range versions of the Toro, where the consumer will compare not only the price but also load capacity, safety equipment, and operating costs.

What Needs to Be Verified

Without independent tests, the real range, the approved consumption, and the performance under different load levels remain unverified.

There is also no public confirmation regarding the existence of prototype units running and the stage of homologation for sale in 2026.

The very factory setup, announced for Espírito Santo, is still undergoing pre-operational stages.

Even though the narrative combines electrification, the use of ethanol, and a promise of low cost per kilometer, the Campo will need to convert projections into measured numbers to solidify its position among work and leisure pickups.

Given this scenario, what will be the decisive factor for the public to bet on an unprecedented flex hybrid pickup: declared range, price, equipment, or confidence in delivery?

A proposta de mostra excelente. Mas o preço é fator decisivo para se sustentar.
A opção de cabines simples, e a de “Baú” faz desse projeto um grande divisor para os empresários e os autônomos. E aqui na Bahia já está na hora de vir esse modelo com essas particularidades. Venham urgente. Boa sorte.

Pena que não fazer cabine simples pensando nos pregadores de serviços que gastam muita gasolina diariamente, segue a dica levar.
