en.Wedoany.com Reported - Fiat has officially unveiled the production version of its F2X SUV project, launching two models: the Fiat Grizzly and the Fiat Grizzly Fastback. Both models are positioned higher in the global product lineup than the recently launched Fiat Grande Panda.
The Grizzly is positioned as a family SUV, with a length of approximately 4.5 meters, competing with the upcoming Renault Bigster. The Grizzly Fastback offers an alternative with a sloping coupe-style roofline. Both models share design elements such as square wheel arches, an illuminated front grille, full-width LED taillights, black body cladding, and faux off-road skid plates.
The global debut is planned before the end of 2026, targeting markets in Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa. Interior details have not yet been disclosed, but Fiat claims it will offer a refined design and class-leading cargo space. In its international strategy, the Grizzly duo is expected to indirectly replace existing models such as the Fiat Tipo, as well as the South America-exclusive Fiat Pulse and Fiat Fastback, in order to consolidate the B-segment and C-segment product lineup.
The Grizzly was recently spotted undergoing testing in India, but Stellantis is unlikely to relaunch the brand in the country. This could mean the Grizzly may be produced at Stellantis' plant in Pune, utilizing idle capacity for export overseas. The same plant has also produced the Jeep Compass and Jeep Meridian, both of which have shown signs of slowing sales. Jeep is currently developing a new model based on Tata Motors' ARGOS platform, which is also used for the Tata Sierra.
Both the Grizzly and Grizzly Fastback are based on Stellantis' Smart Car architecture. This modular platform has already been used for the Fiat Grande Panda, Citroen C3, Citroen Aircross, and Opel Frontera. The platform has been localized in India for Citroen models, offering cost advantages and manufacturing synergies. The shared platform supports multiple powertrains, and the Grizzly will offer gasoline, gasoline mild hybrid, and pure electric (EV) options. The gasoline engine is expected to be a 1.2-liter turbocharged unit from the Stellantis family.
