A report from Autos Segredos says
that the Fiat Argo‘s adventure variant could arrive as early as sometime this
year.
At the Fiat Cronos’ launch, Fiat ruled out an
adventure variant of the Fiat Argo. However, it is said that Fiat is already
having talks with suppliers for this variant’s higher suspension and add-on
plastic parts. According to a person in the know, the adventure variant will
have a significantly higher ride height.
Fiat marketers may treat the Argo as a soft-roader
SUV. As for the engine powering the Fiat Argo’s adventure variant, there are
two possibilities. Fiat may use a 1.3-litre Firefly engine for competitive pricing.
The second is that the company would employ the 1.8-litre E.torQ engine to
offer performance on par with the competitors.
The Fiat Argo’s adventure variant will go up against
the likes of Chevrolet Onix Activ, Hyundai HB20X, Renault Sandero Stepway and
Toyota Etios Cross in Brazil.
