The Fiat Toro Ultra Returns With 1.3 Turbo Flex Engine of 176 hp, 6-Speed Automatic Transmission, Rigid Cover, and Latest Generation Standard Equipment, All For R$ 194,490. Discover How It Positions Itself Among The Versions of The Line!
After a pause in sales, the Fiat Toro Ultra is back on the market, but with changes that catch attention. The former top-of-the-line version, known for its robustness and rigid cover, now bets on a 1.3 turbo flex engine. Want to know what this means for you? Let’s dive into the details!
The Return of The Fiat Toro Ultra: What Changed?
The main novelty is under the hood. Previously equipped with a 2.0 turbo diesel engine of 170 hp, the Toro Ultra now features a 1.3 turbo flex engine of 176 hp. This change is not just about power; it reflects Fiat’s strategy to reduce the offering of diesel engines.
The 1.3 turbo flex engine, already known in other Stellantis models, delivers 27.5 kgfm of torque and is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The traction, however, is only front-wheel drive, leaving behind the 4×4 system and the nine-speed transmission of the former model.

This makes it an excellent option for those wanting to combine practicality and style.
Standard Equipment: Cutting-Edge Technology and Comfort
If you enjoy technology and comfort, the Fiat Toro Ultra does not disappoint. Among the standard items included are:
- 10.1” Multimedia Center with Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
- Full LED Headlights, which ensure more safety and visibility.
- Two-Zone Digital Air Conditioning.
- Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane Keeping Assist.
All this makes the Toro Ultra a choice that combines luxury and functionality, ideal for those looking for a complete and modern car.
Why Did Fiat Opt for The 1.3 Turbo Flex Engine?
The 1.3 turbo flex engine was updated to meet Proconve L8 standards, which require lower pollutant emissions. Despite the reduction in power from 185 hp to 176 hp, both with gasoline and ethanol, the torque remains consistent, ensuring satisfactory performance.
This change is a response to market demands for more sustainable and economical vehicles. After all, who doesn’t want a car that takes care of the environment without losing efficiency?
Competitive Price: Where Does The Toro Ultra Position Itself?
With an initial price of R$ 194,490, the Fiat Toro Ultra positions itself as one of the most accessible options within the top-tier category.
- Compared to the Toro Volcano 1.3, it costs R$ 11,500 more.
- Regarding the Toro Volcano 2.0 Diesel, it is R$ 7,500 cheaper.
This price positioning reinforces Fiat’s strategy to offer a balanced option for those looking for a complete urban vehicle without sacrificing exclusivity.
The Future of The Fiat Toro Line: What to Expect?
Fiat has already confirmed that the Toro line will undergo a second facelift soon. According to Martín Scrigmaglia, president of Fiat Argentina, this renewal will be more profound than simple visual adjustments. Additionally, the anticipated 2.2 turbo diesel engine with 200 hp promises to bring even more performance to future models.
