Fiat launched the new Titano in Argentina. A mid-size pick-up that enters into direct competition with the historic Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger, and Volkswagen Amarok.
The Italian brand is making a strong bet with this locally produced truck, manufactured with an investment of 385 million dollars. It is designed to enter one of the hottest segments of the local market.
A pick-up with international DNA and local production
The Fiat Titano is a new player, although it is actually a joint development with Peugeot Landtrek and Chinese Changan. Beyond its origin, the proposal is aimed directly at Argentine preferences.
Fiat designed a range of five versions. There are options with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, manual or automatic transmission, and equipment on par with its competitors.

Performance, fuel consumption, and capabilities
According to Fiat, with the automatic transmission, fuel consumption is around 9.9 L/100 km in the city and 10.8 L/100 km on the highway. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.9 seconds.
