To achieve that, Fiat leveraged its long experience in pick-up trucks based on more than 15 years of absolute leadership of Strada model in the Brazilian market, and also the know-how of the FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) group, which offers the possibility of new and modern designs. Also, FCA counts on the industrial resources in the newly inaugurated Jeep Automotive Complex, in Goiana (PE). Undoubtedly, a new cycle and a new car.

In addition to the novelty of manufacturing a robust, but comfortable, model, Fiat Toro innovates even with its split load bay tailgate, patented by FCA. It has two parts that open laterally, with option for opening one of them only.

Fiat Toro is already offered with a lot of options for engine, transmission and wheel drive combinations, ready for urban and off-road uses. There will be four versions – Freedom 1.8 16V Flex AT6, Freedom 2.0 16V Diesel (with manual 6-gear transmission) 4x2 and 4x4 wheel drive, and the top model of the line, Volcano 2.0 16V Diesel AT9 4x4, plus the special launch series Opening Edition 1.8 16V Flex AT6.

And with the whole innovation, sophistication and quality, Fiat Toro reinforces Fiat tradition in anticipating the desire of Brazilians, which started in 1976 with the launch of Fiat 147. Two years later, in 1978, Fiat 147 Pick-up was launched, which was the first pick-up truck derived from a passenger car. That was a fine tuning with the market, which continued with the longer wheelbase of Fiorino, the rear axle of Omega and the Strada pickup truck, in the versions Adventure, extended cabin, double cabin, Locker, and also 3-door double cabin. All in all, four decades of innovation have passed, which are now celebrated with the arrival of Fiat Toro.
