2026 Fiat Titano Midsize Pickup Brings New Diesel Power

New 2.2L Diesel Engine, 8-Speed Auto, ADAS Tech, and Serious Off-Road Hardware

The updated 2026 Fiat Titano marks a major step forward in the midsize pickup segment for Fiat Brazil. Built at the new Stellantis Pickup Hub in Córdoba, Argentina, the updated truck represents a serious effort by the brand to compete more aggressively in the “D-pickup” segment across South America. While the original model launched in 2023, this new iteration is more than a facelift—it’s a mechanical, technological, and safety overhaul.

New 2.2L Multijet Diesel: Stronger and Smarter –

At the heart of the 2026 Titano is a new 2.2-liter Multijet turbodiesel inline-four engine. Delivering 200 horsepower and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque, it’s a major upgrade over the outgoing powertrain. Fiat has paired this engine with an all-new 8-speed automatic transmission, replacing the older 6-speed unit. The result is smoother gear changes, improved drivability, and enhanced fuel efficiency.

According to Fiat, the updated engine and transmission combination improves city fuel consumption from 8.5 km/l to 9.9 km/l (20.0 mpg to 23.3 mpg)—a 16% gain. On the highway, the Titano now achieves 10.8 km/l (25.4 mpg) compared to the previous 9.2 km/l (21.6 mpg), reflecting a 17% improvement. Acceleration is also sharper, with the 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) sprint dropping from 12.4 seconds to 9.9 seconds.

Mechanical Changes Enhance Real-World Capability –

Fiat didn’t stop at the powertrain. The 2026 Titano receives a reworked suspension system that improves ride comfort and stability on uneven terrain. The steering system is now electrically assisted, giving the truck a more modern, effortless feel—especially useful in urban environments or tight off-road conditions.

One of the biggest changes is the new permanent all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, available in automatic trims. The system allows for seamless switching between two-wheel drive (2H) and four-wheel drive (4X4) without driver input. Combined with four-wheel disc brakes, the Titano is now much more confident in rough terrain, slippery roads, and towing scenarios.

Advanced Safety Comes Standard in Ranch Trim –

For 2026, the top-tier Ranch version gains the ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) suite. Features include:

  • Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)

  • Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)

  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

  • Lane Departure Alert 

  • Hill Descent Control (HDC)

  • Trailer Sway Control

All trims come standard with six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), tire pressure monitoring (TPMS), ramp start assist, and ABS with EBD. With these additions, the Titano now offers one of the most complete safety packages in its class.

Interior Tech and Design Get a Modern Refresh –

Inside the cabin, the Titano receives a number of thoughtful upgrades to improve daily usability and comfort. The Ranch model features a new 7-inch color digital instrument cluster and an upgraded 10-inch touchscreen multimedia center with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™ support.

An exclusive Off-Road display page helps track pitch, roll, and traction settings. The 360-degree camera system, powered by four external cameras, remains a standout feature, offering automatic activation during off-road or tight-space navigation.

A redesigned center console introduces a modern electronic shift lever and a push-button electronic parking brake. These changes improve ergonomics and free up additional space between the seats.

Ready for the Real World—Work or Play –

True to its pickup roots, the 2026 Titano retains its generous cargo capabilities. The bed now comes standard with a factory-applied bucket liner across all trims. Ground clearance stands at 235 mm (9.3 inches), with approach and departure angles of 29° and 27°, respectively—solid numbers for serious off-road driving.

The truck’s footprint reflects its midsize capability, measuring 5,330 mm (209.8 in) long, 2,221 mm (87.4 in) wide (with mirrors), and 1,897 mm (74.7 in) tall (with roof bars). The wheelbase stretches to 3,180 mm (125.2 in).

Fiat also introduced two new color options—Silverstone Gray and Alaska White—available in both Volcano and Ranch trims.

Built in Argentina, Made for South America –

The Titano is the first vehicle produced at Stellantis’ Córdoba Automotive Center in Argentina. The project is creating 1,800 new jobs, with half of those positions held by women, highlighting Stellantis’ focus on diversity and growth in the region. The Titano serves as a launchpad for Stellantis’ future pickup strategy in South America.

In addition, Mopar has launched a catalog of over 40 accessories for the Titano, allowing buyers to personalize and enhance their trucks with items designed for work, off-road, and lifestyle applications.

The thing that frustrates me is how quickly Stellantis moved to put this truck into full production. Originally it was assembled from knock down kits, but demand far outpaced capacity. I don't know if this truck would be suitable for our market, but I do know we could use that same decisiveness, motivation and willingness to act for our legacy North American brands.

Seems to me the issues are where to build it and is this viable since the upgrades for the U.S. market should be have been easy. I also think it would need at least one or two companion vehicles to make this profitable and have a hedge against disappointing sales. Nice thoughts it seems.
Yes I have been calling for the Ram Rampage to be brought here from Brazil, but the realistic part of my brain is thinking, if there were a sound business plan for importing this Ram, it would already be on sale here. Opps, brain overload !
I believe there will be a mid-size Ram and the compact Ram will be built off that truck in the same factory, perhaps Belvedere, but we are looking at a two year delay in getting to market. Brain freeze alert!
Waiting on those Ram announcements for clarity on this topic, which is one that points to the sad state of affairs at Ram. So much to be done in very little time. I’d still bring that Rampage here from Brazil as a stop gap measure, but I’m not keen enough to make a call. Ram has to move on this but how is the big question.
Brain shut down underway, I’m done here ! !
