Fiat has a deal with Mitsubishi to sell an Italian-badged version of the latter’s Triton pick-up truck in place, but it seems like the Fiat Toro, officially teased last week, is not it.
These pics were reportedly taken at the FCA Group’s Pernambuco factory in Brazil. They show a smaller pick-up truck, and with lines that aren’t very Triton. It appears to be a smaller utility vehicle that’s popular in the continent, like the recently revealed Renault Duster Oroch.
Like that Duster with a bed, the Fiat Toro is said to be based on the Jeep Renegade (both Jeep and Fiat are stablemates under FCA of course), the small SUV built alongside platform-mate Fiat 500X. Word is that it will come with a 138 hp 1.8 litre petrol and a 170 hp 2.0 litre turbodiesel, with FWD and AWD options.
The Fiat Toro has a very unusual face with a strip of slim headlamps and grille sitting above a large gaping mouth with foglamps to match. Or are those the truck’s actual headlamps? The dark green unit is a higher-spec example with fog lamps, chrome treatment and silver skid plates.
The strange creature look continues at the back, which has a very tall tailgate that would be heavy to lower and lift. Fiat’s solution is barn-style doors like the Mini Clubman, last used on a truck in the early 2000s with the Lincoln Blackwood. The opening mechanism is under that massive Fiat logo. Renault’s Duster Oroch is much easier on the eye, for us.

Such a good brand but failed in Malaysia because Torino Malaysia all the time eat nasi lemak and sleep. Never work.
More like reliability problem. Just like how the Selespeed literally killed off Alfa Romeo.
if Ford Ranger Lo Ride and Mitsubish Triton Lo-Ride, can be priced as cheap as RM65k.
I think this with smaller engine, smaller size, should be around RM55k if is launched here.
now, Why not?
Toro means big balls. I bet it will be a hit amongst women
The maybe upcoming proton pick up too.
Gosh! Just have my breakfast. Don’t make me puke.
why the heck Fiat didn’t just rebadge RAM?
Because it’s as ugly as froggy Porsche
PROTON pls adopt this into your future concept..next ALAMI maybe…retain ARENA name..this will sell …I’ll buy
I think it is a brave design. I too will buy it in a heartbeat. I agree if assembly is done here can price at around 60k-70k for auto. The most is 85k.
reminds me of the strange-looking multipla somehow…..
