He Fiat 600 It is one of those models that left an indelible mark on the automotive industry and also on Argentines. It was the first model of the Italian brand manufactured in the country and units can still be seen circulating on the streets today. And it even has its own museum!
The news is that the famous model It will be sold again this year in Argentina. This was announced by the local affiliate during its summer actions on the Atlantic Coast.
Romantics, abstain. Because the 600 is no longer what it was. Just as it happened at the time with the new 500 (Cinquecento), Fiat also revived this classic but in SUV and electrified format.
The reinterpretation of the Fiat 600, launched in Europe in 2024, was inspired by the Opel Mokka, a compact SUV sold in Germany. It will be based on the Stellantis Group’s e-CMP2 platform, and in turn, it will take many elements from the Jeep Avenger, a smaller SUV than the Renegade that will be manufactured in Brazil and would be ready by 2026.
Unlike the 500, which was “resurrected” occupying the same segment in which it knew how to shine, the Fiat 600 will integrate the bulky SUV offering. Thus, it will arrive to occupy the place left vacant by the Fiat 500x, the all-terrain version of the Cinquecento.
Although the model exhibited at the Summer Car Show stand is electric, the new Fiat 600 will arrive on our market in the middle of the year in a mild hybridization variantequipped with a 1.2-liter 136 HP turbo gasoline engine and another 29 HP electric engine that is powered by a lithium-ion battery that operates at a voltage of 48 volts. The mechanical package is complemented by a six-speed automatic transmission.
It is possible that later the range will be completed with the 100% electric variant, which in the Old Continent delivers a power of 156 HP and has an approved range of up to 409 kilometers.
He Fiat 600 mide 4.18 meters long, almost a meter more than the historic Fitito, with a trunk capacity of 385 liters. This means that due to size it would compete in the compact SUV segment.
