The Fiat Argo has entered the final testing phase days before its launch in Brazil this month. The spy shots were captured by Quatro Rodas at the Curitiba International Speedway in Pinhais, Brazil.

The Fiat Argo is the long-overdue replacement for the Fiat Punto, and reports say, it will replace the Fiat Palio as well. Like the Fiat Tipo, the Fiat Argo rides on the Small Wide platform. 


The Fiat Argo buyers will get the option of three trim levels: Attractive, Essence and Sporting and three engine models are planned. The base model will get the 1.0-litre FireFly three-cylinder engine that develops 72-77 hp and 102-107 Nm of torque running on petrol and ethanol. It will have a 5-speed manual transmission as standard. The mid-tier engine model will have the 1.3-litre FireFly four-cylinder producing 101-109 hp and 134-139 Nm of torque running on petrol and ethanol. 5-speed manual transmission, and 5-speed Dualogic automated manual transmission. The top-end engine model will sport the 1.8-litre E.Torq Evo engine deliver 135-139 hp and 184-189 Nm on petrol and ethanol. 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The Fiat Argo falls in the B-segment and could effectively replace the Fiat Punto Evo.
