The Fiat Argo (Type 358, codeproject X6H) is a subcompact car (B-segment) by the Italian manufacturer Fiat, developed for the market in South America. It was presented in Brazil in May 2017, being sold as of June. It is a five-door hatchback that replaced the Fiat Punto and the Fiat Palio. A sedan version was launched in 2018, with the name Fiat Cronos, with production in Argentina. The Argo was presented a year later than planned, and is needed to strengthen Fiat's offering in the subcompact (B) segment, traditionally an important one for Fiat.[1]
Its launch in Mexico was announced by FCA of Mexico for the first months of 2020, 2 years after its original introduction in 2018, though no details are revealed for its arrival at the Mexican market.[2] The facelifted Argo arrived in the Mexican market in 15 September 2020. It is offered in five trim levels; Drive, Drive Plus, Trekking, Precision, and HGT.[3]
Powertrain[]
The 3-cylinder 1.0L version of the Firefly engine is exclusive to the Brazilian local market, where such displacement range is benefitted from a lower taxation, while the available 1.3L is standard elsewhere. At the launch, the 1.3 engine was available with the option for an automated-manual transmission named GSR, which was phased out in 2019, while the 1.8L E.torQ has retained the availability of an automatic transmission. For the Trekking trim released in 2019, the 1.3 is the base engine and the 1.8 is offered only with the automatic transmission. All engines are flexfuel for Brazil, and gasoline-only elsewhere.
