Fiat has dropped a revealing second image
of the ‘Nova’ Strada small pickup truck that confirms our initial assessment
that it looks like a re-sized mirror version of the larger Toro (thanks to
Automonthly for the head’s up). No additional information has been shared at
this point.
Unfortunately, Fiat Brazil did not reveal
any information along with the teaser image but the upcoming 2021 Strada is not
a total mystery. The most important thing to know is the new model replaces the
Palio-based namesake pickup Fiat has been selling on various markets worldwide
since 1996.
Besides the modern design, the new Fiat
Strada is likely to adopt a new platform that will combine the Argo’s Small MP1
architecture with a longer wheelbase and components designed specifically for
it. The new model will most certainly be bigger than the original Strada,
though it won’t grow too much to avoid generating unwanted internal competition
for the Fiat Toro.
