Fiat unveiled the new Grizzly and Grizzly Fastback SUV models at the Paris Motor Show. These global models are successors to the Fiat Pulse and Fastback, which are planned for introduction in Brazil.
These two vehicles were presented this year to Stellantis investors and are scheduled to enter the European market in 2026, with a debut in Europe planned for 2027.
The Grizzly model features straight lines, a wide rear pillar, and LED dot lights. The interior includes a digital display, a floating center console, and a rectangular steering wheel. The word 'Hybrid' is displayed on the rear tailgate of the exhibited vehicle.
The Grizzly Fastback retains the structural characteristics of the current Fastback, featuring a sloping coupe-style rear, and was shown with 18-inch black wheels.
Both new cars utilize the modular CMP platform developed by Peugeot and Citroën, which is also used in the Citroën Aircross. This platform will replace the existing MLA base of current Fiat models and will appear in the country for the first time with the new Argo.
The successor to the Pulse, internally designated as project F2U, is already undergoing testing. The publication AutoPapo recorded one unit in Belo Horizonte, disguised as an Aircross body, in June.
According to the Autos Segredos website, this new vehicle will be available in five- and seven-seater versions, equipped with a 1.0 turbo flex engine producing 116 hp and 20.4 kgf·m of torque, connected to a seven-speed simulating CVT automatic transmission. Additionally, the engine will feature a 12-volt mild hybrid system that supports the internal combustion engine but does not provide propulsion independently.
Production of these vehicles will take place in Betim (Minas Gerais), where Fiat currently produces the Pulse. According to the magazine Quatro Rodas, production is expected in the second half of 2027.
The new Fastback, project F2X, will follow later: Fiat intends to release a new model annually until 2030. The brand has not yet disclosed names, prices, or dates for the Brazilian market.
