This City Car Cost Under $10K USD...

Compact in size, but large in qualities like comfort and fuel economy, the FIAT brand has pulled the covers back on their new 2021 Fiat Mobi. The A-segment (city car) plays an integral part in the FIAT brand’s success in the LATAM region, as well as the Mopar accessories and parts division of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA).

With more than 215,000 units sold since its launch in 2016, the Mobi subcompact has proven to be the right vehicle, meeting the needs of the market’s customers in South America. So for the 2021 model year, FIAT has updated the Mobi to offer a wider range of capability, style, and value for the LATAM region.

One of the biggest highlights for 2021, is the addition of the new adventurous Trekking model. It joins the “Easy” and “Like” trim-levels to offer customers a smart urban mobility solution, especially those who live or frequent the big city life.

Following the lead of the all-new Strada pickup and updated Argo hatchback, the Mobi adopts the new FIAT brand front styling that we recently talked about as part of the Italian brand’s rebranding strategy. This means the new FIAT script logo and Italian flag logo are placed on the front grille area. FIAT has also updated the Mobi with new front bumpers designs, new wheel arches, lower painted side fenders, and new wheel designs.

FCA engineers also increased the Mobi’s ground clearance between the axles for almost 7.5 inches (or 190mm) of clearance. It also means that the Mobi now features 24º of entry angle, which should be enough for the Mobi to get out of the city and tackle the South American unpaved back roads which have obstacles like ditches, bumps, and holes.

The new top of the line Trekking model, adds an extra dose of adventure and playfulness. It incorporates the upgrades from the Like version and adds more style and functionality with the following equipment…

Longitudinal Roof Bars
Darkened Hubcaps with Exclusive Design
Optional 14-Inch Aluminum Wheels
Dual-Colored Roof with Logo
Hood Graphic
Piano Black-Painted Rear View Mirrors
Side Stripes and Door Handles Painted In Body-Color
New Exclusive Fabrics with Orange Stitching
New Logo and Trekking Badge on Rear
Fog Lamps

Focusing on practicality, the Mobi facilitates the entry and exit of passengers through its wide-opening rear doors (which open 75º). The doors are complemented by the wide entrance gap both front and rear. The Mobi also features plenty of storage in its small package. It features storage compartments in the center console, front doors, a sunglass holder above the driver’s door, and even a ceiling console with an auxiliary mirror.

The Mobi also features the most modern infotainment system in its segment with the new 7-inch Uconnect touchscreen from the Fiat Toro and Strada pickups. With its 7-inch touchscreen, it brings important features like Apple Carplay and Android Auto with wireless projection and car pair two smartphones. Developed by FCA LATAM, the center is intuitive, functional, and friendly, significantly improving the user’s experience with the vehicle through its functions.

The Uconnect screen is customizable and displays control of all vehicle functions. In addition, it has low daytime reflection and adjustable brightness. The system supports multiple connections via Bluetooth and has an on-board computer. There is also a second USB port available to passengers. The multimedia center is optional in the Like and Trekking models. The package adds four speakers and two tweeters, plus a multifunctional steering wheel.

The consumer can also opt for the Driver Convenience Package on the Like model, comprising height adjustment of the steering wheel, seat belt, and driver’s seat, and internal opening of the fuel cap.

One of the ways in which Fiat Mobi’s intelligence is presented is efficiency. Weighing in at only 907 kg (or 2,000 lbs), it is one of the lightest cars in Brazil, which benefits both fuel economy and performance. As a result, the vehicle proves to be easy to park and maneuver, as well as agile in traffic, attributes that please the customer a lot.

The Fiat Mobi is also efficient for the consumer’s pocket, because, in addition to having competitive prices, its maintenance is simple, with low costs. This is one of the highlights of the 1.0-liter FIRE EVO Flex engine, up to 75 horsepower at 6,250 rpm (with ethanol).

The 2021 Fiat Mobi has a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), of R $38,990 (or about $6780 USD) for the Easy model, R $46,490 (or about $8,090 USD) for the Like model, and the Trekking starts at R $47,390 (or $8,246 USD). Mopar has also introduced several specialty parts for the Mobi and has even issued a special edition Mopar Mobi edition vehicle in the past.
