Fiat 500X

Fiat has had an on-again-off-agency relationship with North America for over a century. After making a triumph return (again) in 2009, the Italian manufacturer looked poised to carve out a niche with vehicles like the 500 and 124 Spider.

The Fiat 500 left our shores a few years and it appeared Fiat might be leaving our market for good. But the brand has returned to North America as an electric vehicle manufacturer and is showing off the brand’s first offering, the 500e.

America gets two special editions, while Canada gets one, yet both. It makes sense, we swear.

This week Fiat announced its plans for the coming years with a series of concepts: a truck, a crossover, an SUV, a camper, and a city car. The truck caught our eye, largely for a single sentence in the automaker’s statement: “FIAT is the market leader in South America and the Strada pick-up is the bestselling vehicle on the Brazilian market. Moving forward, FIAT is certain that this type of vehicle can replicate its success at a global level, even in Europe.” If Fiat is indeed looking to flesh out its offerings here in North America or elsewhere, a truck seems a logical place to start.

The electrified 500 is finally coming to Canada and the US early next year.
