The pick up segment seems not to hit the ceiling. It is true that its sales are not the same as those of the entire set of SUVs, but it is also true that more and more brands want to participate in it. The great pull comes from the markets, traditionally considered as emerging and others such as the US and much of Asia. Hence, in Europe we have witnessed the withdrawal of Nissan or Mercedes-Benz. But new Fiat Titano It's another sample...
Indeed, Fiat is going to venture into the pick up segment. Let's see, it's not that the Turin house has never had a model of this type in its range, but it has never been the size of the new Titano. In itself, everyone knew that those responsible had given the green light to a vehicle of this type for the Mercosur area. But It has not been until these teasers have seen the light that we have not known that it is going to be called that. Would you like to meet him? Aim.
The Fiat Titano is nothing more than a technical clone, not an aesthetic one, of the Peugeot Landtrek pick up...
As you can see in these teasers, the new Fiat Titano still hides behind the shadows. However, in all the images there are some design elements that give us clues as to what his physiognomy could be like. And in summary the clues point towards a common path: it will be very similar to the Peugeot Landtrek that is sold in the region. However, do not expect the Turin house to copy the design of the gala as it will take the opportunity to bring it closer to its portfolio...
Among the novelties that are expected to arrive there will be a grill with an exclusive interior framework. And it will not be the only thing, since it is believed that the external frame will be different, as is the adoption of the Fiat logo with its letters instead of the well-known shield. In addition, as an extra decorative element there will be four oblique bars in the colors of the Italian flag that, perhaps the most nostalgic, associate it with one of the old logos of the firm.
Nor should we forget that the tailgate will have, in typography, the name of Fiat as well as that of Titano. And there are other design elements, though they don't show up as clearly as they should. In the teaser video it is clear that there will be a body with four doors ass and black bars on top of cargo tub. They match what look like roof bars located on the cabin and with the black that you see in the rear-view mirrors…
When will the new Titano hit the market…? Could it be sold in Europe…?
Once we have talked about the style that the new Fiat Titano could look like, we are going to tell you some of its secrets. In the brand they have started by telling us what their name means. According to the official press release…
«Fiat Titano, inspired by the entity of Greek mythology that confronts Zeus and the other gods Olympus on his rise to power. Besides, can also be bonded to titanium metal, the most resistant used by the high-tech industry, providing high resistance and durability. The name refers to all the force the truck will have«
Now that you know the reason for his name, we will enter the world of speculation. As we have already said, the Titano is a clone of the Landtrek and therefore it will make use of its platform but perhaps not its engines. It is believed that in this case the Italian house will bet on a block 2.2 liter diesel of about 200 CV (Maybe the one from the Alfa Romeo Giulia?). Regarding your arrival, expected to arrive in mid-2023 and no, don't expect it in Europe...
There will be more soon...
