Fiat Fullback Pickup
Fiat has entered the medium-duty pickup
truck segment with the new Fullback, the UK pricing and specification details
for which were announced today.
Essentially a rebadged version of the
Mitsubishi L200, the Fiat Fullback comes in two grades - SX and LX, with
standard equipment such as 16-inch alloy wheels, remote central locking,
electric windows and side mirrors, Bluetooth, DAB radio, leather
trimmed-steering wheel and gearknob and air-con with rear vents. The start/stop
system is also offered at no extra cost, along with hill start assist, cruise
control with speed limiter, front fog lamps and LED DRLs.
Prices for the Fiat Fullback SX start at
£ 20,995 (US$ 29,735), without tax and delivery fees*, while the
higher-specification LX manual can be had from £ 22,995 (US$ 32,570). The better
equipped version adds 17-inch alloy wheels, body-colored wheel arch protectors,
Lane Departure Warning and rearview camera.
Power across the range comes from a
2.4-liter diesel engine, which is rated at 150 HP and 380 Nm of
torque in the SX, channeled to the four-wheel drive, with 3 settings - 2H, 4H
and 4L, through a six-speed manual gearbox.
The LX has a bit more power, at 180 HP
and 430 Nm of torque, and its four-wheel drive system has four
electrically-controlled settings: 2H, 4H, 4HLc and 4LLc, with a locking central
differential. This version can be had with either a manual or an automatic
transmission, with the latter priced from £ 24,395 (US$ 34,555), without tax.
Fiat's Fullback pickup truck will go on
sale in the UK on July 4.
