The new Fiat Titano pickup dropped camouflage — this is the brother of Peugeot and Changan

At the moment, the novelty of the Italian brand is announced for only one country. There, Toyota and Chevrolet trucks will become the main competitors of the model.

Fiat officially announced its new frame pickup truck at the end of last year, distributing a photo of a disguised prototype. And now teasers have appeared, on which the model is captured without camouflage. In addition, the name of the truck is announced — Titano. As planned by marketers, the name should refer both to Greek mythology with its titans (hello, Nissan Titan!), and to the metal of the same name. The upcoming truck has so far been announced only for Brazil, and it is not created from scratch — it is an analogue of the Peugeot Landtrek.

Recall that the original “Frenchman” debuted in 2020, today it is sold in Africa and some Latin American countries (but not in Brazil). At the same time, Landtrek, in turn, was created jointly with the Chinese company Changan, the Peugeot pickup truck has siblings — Kaicene F70 (aka Changan Hunter in export markets; the Kaicene sub-brand is used at home) and Changan Lantop (a luxurious version of F70/Hunter) . But back to the Fiat Titano.

In last year's photo, the test Fiat almost completely repeated the Peugeot Landtrek, so it was believed that the cars would differ only in emblems and nameplates. However, the teasers show that the Italian brand still decided not to turn the Titano into a 100% copy of Peugeot: the novelty has an original radiator grille. .jpg» />Fiat Titano

Peugeot Landtrek is available with a single-row or four-door cab, in addition, the “Frenchman” is available in the form of a chassis with a cab for installing superstructures. Titano, perhaps, will be offered exclusively in a two-row version. The length of a similar Landtrek is 5330 mm, its cargo area is 1630 mm. Wheelbase — 3180 mm. The carrying capacity of a Peugeot pickup truck is from 1 to 1.2 tons, depending on the version. For the model of the French brand, a multimedia system with a 10-inch screen rising above the front panel, six airbags, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, all-round cameras are provided.

The brand hasn't talked about Titano technology yet. The Brazilian media are predicting a 2.2 turbodiesel pickup truck with a capacity of approximately 200 hp. The Peugeot Landtrek engine range includes a 1.9 turbodiesel (150 hp, 350 Nm) and a 2.4 petrol turbo four (210 hp, 320 Nm), boxes — six-speed «mechanics» or «automatic». Drive rear or full. By the way, Changan pickups have their own lineup in their homeland.

The new Fiat Titano will launch in Brazil before the end of this year, where it will compete with the Toyota Hilux and Chevrolet S10 (a local variation of the Colorado). Fiat and Peugeot trucks are unlikely to reach us, except perhaps through a parallel import scheme. But the Russian model range Changan pickup may well fill up, and officially.
