Two instances of the new Fiat Toro have been caught
on the camera during road tests. The update seems to bring the appearance of
the pickup truck closer to that of the Fiat Fastback coupe/SUV.
The original Toro rolled off the assembly lines in
2016 and received a mild mid-generational refresh in June this year, ending up
a new front bumper design, a styling package, and new trim configurations. Now,
it looks like another update is on the way.
The 2020 truck is expected to ship with a new
1.3-liter turbo-four engine powered by gasoline and ethanol fuel. Its
performance remains unannounced, so, while the company says it will retire one
of its two older engines once the 1.3 unit comes out, it remains uncertain just
which one. Currently, there is a 1.8-liter mill rated close to 136 hp and a larger 2.4-liter one with 180 hp at its command. There is also
a two-liter diesel variant of the Toro, which churns out 170 hp and is
the only one to support 4WD.
Like before, the Fiat Toro will be sold exclusively
in South America. In Europe, the marque primarily focuses on compact cars.
