This model will be based on the Smart Car platform, the same one used for the Citroën C3, C3 Aircross, and Basalt, but with a design and name adapted for the Brazilian market.
Stellantis is expanding its hiring in Brazil, a clear sign that it is preparing for the production of these new vehicles.
In turn, the Jeep Avenger will be manufactured at the Porto Real plant in Rio de Janeiro. This compact SUV uses the CMP architecture, which also serves as a base for models by Peugeot and Citroën.
The Avenger will be positioned below the Jeep Renegade, directly competing in the B-SUV segment.
Hybrid Technology and Powertrain
Both vehicles, the Panda and the Avenger, will feature the light flex hybrid system, already present in models like the Fiat Pulse and Fastback. However, Stellantis may update these systems.
Currently, Fiat hybrids use a 12V setup, while the European Avenger is already equipped with a more advanced 48V version.
The engine associated with this hybrid system will be the 1.0 turbo T200, which delivers 130 hp of power.
Stellantis has announced that electrification will be a strategic priority in the coming years, with plans to launch eight new hybrid and electric powertrains by 2030.
This strategy aligns with the growing demand for vehicles that offer sustainable and efficient options.

With a robust design, the model promises to attract consumers looking for a practical and versatile SUV.
Internally, the SUV is equipped with a 10.2-inch digital panel and a multimedia center that is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay wirelessly, ensuring a connected and modern experience.
The Return of the Fiat Uno
The new Fiat, which will be positioned below the Pulse, follows the strategy of the European Grande Panda.
With 3.99 meters in length and 2.54 meters of wheelbase, the design of the new model will feature straight lines inspired by the classic Panda from the 1980s.
Although the European version offers 113 hp and a 44 kWh battery, in Brazil it will initially be launched only with a combustion engine and a light hybrid version.
Technical Specifications of the Fiat Grande Panda
· Dimensions: 3.99 meters in length, 1.73 m in width, 1.51 m in height, with a wheelbase of 2.54 meters.

It is important to note that the Fiat Panda from the 1980s influenced the creation of the iconic Fiat Uno, which made history in Brazil and continues to be part of the collective memory of Brazilians.
The future model derived from the Panda is expected to replace the current Argo and Mobi, but fans of the brand have already expressed their desire for Fiat to revive the name Uno for this new launch.
Expectations for the Market
With the launch of the Panda and Avenger, Stellantis demonstrates its intention to strengthen its presence in the Brazilian market, offering models that meet the demands and preferences of local consumers.
The expectation is that these vehicles will not only bring innovation and technology but also an attractive design that resonates with the Brazilian audience.
Furthermore, the introduction of hybrid and electric models aligns with global sustainability trends, which may attract consumers seeking more eco-friendly options.
The news from Fiat and Jeep promises to stir the automotive market and open new possibilities for consumers seeking quality and modernity in compact vehicles.
