FCA Brazil has dropped the official name of the Fiat
Punto’s successor as well as introduced a microsite for interested folks to
register. It will be called the Fiat Argo, and a launch is expected to take
place next month.
Commonly known as the Fiat X6H, the Fiat Argo will
be based on an all-new platform, and have a wheelbase of just over 2.50 meters.
The design is claimed to draw inspiration from the Fiat Tipo hatchback but does
have some distinctive elements which, so far, has been hidden under thick
camouflage.
Inside, the Argo will feature a three-spoke steering
wheel nearly similar to that of the Fiat Tipo, a large MID between the analogue
speedometer and tachometer, a free-standing infotainment system with a colour
display, and circular central HVAC vents.
The engine options will include 1.3-litre FireFly
unit that develops 101 hp and 134.35 Nm of torque running
on petrol and 109 hp and 139.25 Nm of torque with ethanol.
Transmission options include a 5-speed manual and 5-speed Dualogic automated
manual transmission.
The top-end Fiat Argo Sporting variant will pack a
1.8-litre EtorQ EVO engine that delivers 135 hp and 184.37
Nm of torque running on petrol and 139 hp and 189.27 Nm of torque running on ethanol.
