With the Fiat Argo now officially revealed and set to hit the Brazilian market this month, FCA has started road testing its sedan version (codename: Fiat X6S). The Fiat X6S was recently spied on the roads by Autos Segredos reader.

The Brazilian publication says in its report that the car’s front has an exclusive design compared to the Argo. The length will grow (from 3.99 metres) to about 4.4 metres, while the width (1.75 metres) and wheelbase (2.52 metres) remain unchanged from the hatchback. The boot capacity is expected to grow from 300 litres to 440 litres.


The Fiat X6S will sell in four configurations: 1.3 Drive, 1.3 Drive GSR, 1.8 Precision and 1.8 Precision AT6, with an engine stop-start system as standard. The first two configurations will have the 1.3-litre Firefly engine under the hood, producing 101 hp at 6,000 rpm and 13.7 kgfm of torque at 3,250 rpm running on petrol and 109 hp at 6,250 rpm and 14.2 kgfm of torque at 3,500 rpm running on ethanol. Transmission choices for this engine will include 5-speed manual and 5-speed GSR automated manual.

The 1.8 Precision and 1.8 Precision AT6 configurations will get the 1.8-litre E.torQ engine. This unit develops 135 hp at 5,750 rpm and 18.8 kgfm of torque at 3,750 rpm running on petrol and 139 hp at 5,750 rpm and 19.3 kgfm of torque at 3,750 rpm running on ethanol. 5-speed manual and 6-speed automatic are the transmission choices for this engine. All configurations except 1.3 Drive will feature traction control and stability control.

The Fiat X6S sedan will be manufactured in Cordoba, Argentina. It will debut in late-2017, and not at the 2017 Buenos Aires Motor Show this month. The car will replace the Fiat Grand Siena and the Fiat Linea.
