Goodbye Yaris Cross and Renegade! The New Popular Mini SUV from Fiat Will Have a Sunroof in 2025, Promises to Achieve 14.7 km/l and Will Come Equipped with a 1.0 T200 MHEV Semi-Hybrid Engine, Called Bio-Hybrid
Stellantis is preparing news for the popular mini SUVs Fiat Pulse and Fastback, which will include mild hybridization in the entry-level turbocharged models and promise to end the reign of the Toyota Yaris Cross and Jeep Renegade. Unlike the Cronos and Argo models, which have changed little aesthetically, the new cars from the Italian automaker will receive slight visual updates. However, the main news is the introduction of the sunroof.
The 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 a production line for engines from abroad, specifically from Poland. This initiative aims to start the 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 the Toyota Yaris Cross and Jeep Renegade.
Goodbye Toyota Yaris Cross and Jeep Renegade! Besides the Sunroof, Fiat Compact SUVs Will Also Have Electric Adjustable Seats
Initially, the sunroof will be an exclusive option for the Abarth models, whose production will start in May 2025. This date is five months after the planned changes for the normal versions of the Pulse and Fastback.

Pulse and Fastback Will Come Equipped with a 1.0 T200 MHEV Semi-Hybrid Engine, Called Bio-Hybrid
The standout feature 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, which will be equipped with an innovative multifunctional electric device that will replace the alternator and starter motor. This device will provide additional power, generating extra torque to the vehicle and thus reducing the effort of the combustion engine.
In addition to these mechanical improvements, the hybrid models will also receive visual updates, with specific touches on the front grille, enhancing both the aesthetics and efficiency of the compact SUVs. Toyota Yaris Cross
Those Impatient Will Have to Wait for the 2026 Line: Pulse and Fastback Arrived Without News This Year
While that reality doesn’t come, Pulse and Fastback arrived at the 2025 line without news. The versions of both products were maintained, as was the visual design. 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 turbo three-cylinder engine, producing up to 130 hp of power and 20.4 kgfm of torque. These versions have a CVT automatic transmission with seven simulated gears. The Limited Edition and sport Abarth versions utilize a 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, on the other hand, offers three engine options, distinguishing itself from the Fastback with the 1.3 aspirated four-cylinder engine, delivering 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 positions, providing a variety of choices according to driving preference.
Fiat Pulse Is Completing Three Years in the Market
Launched in 2021, the Fiat Pulse is completing three years in the market, a typical period for a facelift. The Fastback, launched in 2022, is only one year younger 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 the 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 marketed in Europe and will feature a fully electric version. Toyota Yaris Cross
Thus, the new features promise not only to maintain the success of Fiat’s SUVs but also to expand their presence in the international market, bringing more modern and technological options to win the hearts of consumers to compete with the Toyota Yaris Cross and Jeep Renegade.
