Goodbye Yaris Cross and Renegade, Fiat's new popular mini SUV will have a sunroof in 2025, promises to do 14,7 km/l and will come equipped with a 1.0 T200 MHEV semi-hybrid engine, called Bio-Hybrid
Stellantis is preparing new features for the popular Fiat Pulse and Fastback mini SUVs, which will include light electrification in entry-level turbocharged models and promise to end Toyota's reign Yaris Cross and Jeep Renegade. Unlike the Cronos and Argo models, which have changed little aesthetically, the Italian automaker's new cars will receive light visual updates. However, the main new feature is the introduction of the sunroof.
SUVs will be manufactured in Betim (MG), made possible by an investment of R$14 billion in the region. Recently, Autoesporte revealed that Stellantis is bringing an engine production line from abroad, specifically from Poland. This initiative aims to begin production of the first hybrid vehicles in Brazil, marking a significant step in the company's technological and sustainable expansion in the national automotive market to compete with Toyota Yaris Cross and Jeep Renegade.
Goodbye Toyota Yaris Cross and Jeep Renegade! In addition to the sunroof, Fiat compact SUVs will also have electrically adjustable seats
Initially, the sunroof will be an exclusive option for Abarth models, production of which will begin in May 2025. This date is five months after the changes planned for the normal versions of the Pulse and Fastback.

Pulse and Fastback will be equipped with a 1.0 T200 MHEV semi-hybrid engine, called Bio-Hybrid
The highlight of the 2026 versions of the Pulse and Fastback will be the introduction of the 1.0 T200 MHEV semi-hybrid engine, called Bio-Hybrid and will be equipped with an innovative multifunctional electrical device, which will replace the alternator and starter motor. This device will provide additional energy, generating extra torque for the vehicle and thus reducing the effort on the combustion engine.
In addition to these mechanical improvements, the hybrid models will also receive visual updates, with specific touches on the front grille, improving both the aesthetics and efficiency of compact SUVs. Toyota yaris cross
The eager on duty will have to wait for the 2026 line: Pulse and Fastback arrived without any news this year
While this doesn't become a reality, Pulse and Fastback reached the 2025 line without any news. The versions of both products were maintained, as was the look. For the Fastback, Fiat had already made discreet changes for the 2024 line. Toyota yaris cross
The coupe SUV will continue to offer the Turbo 200, Audace and Impetus versions, equipped with a 1.0 three-cylinder turbo engine, which generates up to 130 hp and 20,4 kgfm of torque. These versions have a CVT automatic transmission with seven simulated gears. The Limited Edition and sporty Abarth versions use the 1.3 turbo four-cylinder engine, delivering up to 185 hp and 27,5 kgfm of torque. For these models, the transmission is a six-speed automatic.
The Pulse, in turn, offers three engine options, differentiating itself from the Fastback with its 1.3 naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, which delivers 107 hp of power and 13,4 kgfm of torque. Consumers can choose between a five-speed manual transmission or a CVT automatic with seven simulated settings, providing a variety of choices depending on driving preferences.
Fiat Pulse is completing three years on the market
Launched in 2021, the Fiat Pulse is completing three years on the market, a typical period for a restyling. The Fastback, launched in 2022, is just a year newer than the Pulse. It is important to remember that the new generation of both is already being developed. Toyota yaris cross
Fiat is working on the second generation of the Pulse (F2U) and Fastback (F2X) using the CMP platform from the Peugeot 208 and the Citroën C3 and Aircross. Unlike the current generation, sold only in Brazil, the new models will also be sold in Europe and will have a fully electric version. Toyota yaris cross

I have a Fiat Pulse Turbo 1.0 2022 and I regret buying it! The car is great but it consumes a lot of fuel! It is not economical! On alcohol it does 6 km/l in the city! On gasoline it does 8 km/l! On the highway it does 12,5 km/l! In other words, it is a BIG DRINKER! Disappointing for the technology it has!
I have a 1998 Polo Classic, navy blue and it's super economical, 17 liters on the BR 153, I love it when we go to the countryside. And everyone told us that we would be disappointed with the purchase of the car, because it was ****, even so we bought it because at that time it was the money we had and the car we wanted, 1.8, Apê engine. Giant trunk, electric anyway. We are in 2024 with it still, only the gold. He is older than my children. The family thanks us for him. Now I'm going to buy a truck, but it will remain in the family. The car adapts to the owner's energy, I have proof of what I say.
It depends on the route and the weight of the foot. I do short routes. Maximum 3 km. Then it consumes. But that is the case for all brands. The injection compensates for the lack of heat with more fuel. When I do long routes, without many signs, it does 10 km in the city. On the highway, if I drive up to 110 km/h, it does 14. Since I drive more, it does the 12 that you mentioned.
Since when is the pulse an SUV? It's an improved hatchback!
According to Inmetro standards, what characterizes an SUV is its height in relation to the ground. Therefore, whether you like it or not, the Pulse is, in fact, an SUV.
I bought an electric Fiat, which is very good by the way. The only problem is that they won't buy it back if you trade it for another vehicle. It's a shame, because the car is very good, but the brand...
