Model Will Be Produced With The Smart Car Platform, Promising Innovation And Competitiveness In The South American Market

Fiat Is Preparing A Major Launch For 2026: a new popular car developed Based On The Smart Car Platform, originating from Peugeot-Citroën. This new model, which will Replace The Argo And The Mobi, was confirmed by Stellantis during a presentation to investors, signaling a new era for the Italian brand in Brazil, according to the Auto Esporte website.

Smart Car Platform And The New Era Of Fiat In The Market

The Smart Car platform, previously known as CMP, is already used in the Peugeot 208 and 2008 car models. With the launch of the European versions of the C3 and Aircross, Stellantis adopted the new nomenclature, which will also be used in Brazil. Fiat’s Next Popular Car Will Be Revealed In Europe On July 11, as the new generation of the Fiat Panda, an iconic model of the brand on the European continent. This global project, known as F1H, will be launched in several markets, including Brazil.

Importance For The Brazilian Market

The F1H project represents a significant change in Fiat’s strategy, which will start sharing car models with other markets, such as Europe and Turkey, instead of Developing Purely Regional Projects. The Brazilian Version Of The New Hatch, Although Still Without A Defined Name, May Continue To Be Called Argo, Resurrect The Name Uno, Or Even Adopt The Name Panda.

The Production Of The Fiat F1H Will Be Carried Out At The Betim Plant In Minas Gerais, Utilizing The Global Smart Car Modular Platform. This Structure Is The Same As The Citroën C3, Produced By Stellantis In Porto Real, Rio De Janeiro.

Details Of The New Fiat Model

Analyzing The Patent Images Of The Fiat F1H, We Observe That The Monocoque Structure Of The New Model Will Be Similar To That Of The Citroën C3, With Identical A And B Pillars. However, The Fiat F1H Will Feature Aesthetic Changes On The Side Doors And Wheel Arches, In Addition To An Increased Length, About 4.10 Meters, Compared To The Less Than 4 Meters Of The C3. This Change Aims To Compete With Models Such As The Chevrolet Onix And Volkswagen Polo.

With A Wheelbase Of 2.54 Meters And A Width Of Approximately 1.75 Meters, The New Fiat F1H Will Not Be An SUV, But A Robust And Elevated Hatch. The C3 Family Base Used In Europe, Which Has Exclusively Electric Motors, Indicates That The Fiat F1H Will Have More Sophistication In Terms Of Safety And Technology.

Engine Options And Prices

The Fiat F1H Will Have Several Engine Options In Brazil, Including:

  • 1.0 Firefly Engine (Manual)
  • 1.3 Firefly Engine (Manual Or CVT)
  • Turbo 200 1.0 Turbo Micro-Hybrid 12V (Automatic), All Flex.

Although It Is More Sophisticated And Therefore More Expensive Than The Citroën C3, The Fiat F1H Will Be Priced Between R$ 80 Thousand And R$ 110 Thousand. The C3, In Turn, Will Remain The Most Affordable Option From Stellantis In Brazil, With Prices Starting At R$ 70 Thousand.
