The all-new Fiat Titano has arrived in South America, with Argentina and Brazil leading the charge in welcoming the midsize pickup truck. Based on the Peugeot Landtrek, the Titano will boast a range of engine options tailored to different regions, all customized to cater to the specific preferences of local customers. From the outside, it is hard to distinguish the Fiat Titano from its Peugeot twin. The only points of differentiation between the two pickup trucks from Stellantis appear to be the emblems, the redesigned grille, the 18-inch alloy wheels, and the name on the tailgate which was inspired by Greek mythology (as with the unrelated Nissan Titan).
In fact, the greenhouse and overall
profile of the Fiat Titano are shared with the Kaicene F70 and Changan Lantazhe from China, all of which utilize the
same ladder-frame underpinnings. Like its counterparts, the Fiat offers both
Single Cab and Double Cab versions, catering to preferences for either cargo
area length or interior space, respectively. Measuring at a length of 5,331 mm, the Titano falls slightly longer than the rivaling Toyota Hilux
and just a touch shorter than the Ford Ranger.
The interior of the Fiat Titano closely
resembles that of the Peugeot, with the notable difference being the presence
of the Fiat emblem on the steering wheel. Interestingly, only the Titano
Volcano flagship trim boasts a 10-inch infotainment touchscreen. According to Fiat,
the Algerian-spec Titano prioritizes fuel efficiency. This is evident in its
1.9-liter diesel engine, which generates 148 hp and 350 Nm of torque. The engine is exclusively paired with a six-speed manual
gearbox, distributing power to either the rear (4×2) or all four wheels (4×4)
with an electronic differential lock. With a maximum payload capacity of 1,210
kg, this version closely matches its main rivals.
In Brazil, the new Fiat Titano is offered
in three versions called, Endurance, Volcano, and Ranch, all equipped with a
double cabin. They feature a 180-horsepower 2.2-liter Multijet II turbodiesel
engine and all-wheel drive as standard. In South America, Fiat is also
providing a comprehensive range of over 40 Mopar accessories for the Titano.
These include both cosmetic and practical options, such as extended fender
flares, roof crossbars, a heavy-duty trail hitch, five different choices for
side steps, a wireless charger with USB-C input, and much more.
The Fiat Titano made its debut in Algeria
in December, with pricing spanning from 3,489,000 DA (US$ 26,000) to
4,289,000 DA (US$ 32,000) depending on the chosen trim level. As for Brazil, where
the Titano will be positioned above the smaller Fiat Strada and Toro
unibody-based, prices range from R$ 219,990 to R$ 259,990, or about US$ 44,100
to US$ 52,100. Pricing and availability for Argentina
will be announced at a later date.
