Fiat F1H: The new generation of Fiat Panda, the Italian brand's classic entry model into Europe, will be presented by Stellantis in July 11.
Although the next entry-level hatch uses the “body” of the Citroën, will be micro-hybrid and more advanced.
The project F1H, which extends throughout the world, brings the model to Brazil.
According to sources, this will occur in the first quarter of 2026.
The F1H project will represent a new era for Fiat, with purely regional projects, specific to the Brazilian market, and models shared with other markets, such as Europe and the Türkiye. However, the national hatch does not necessarily bear the Panda name.
The Brazilian project is called “New generation Argo” inside it, which indicates that it is possible for it to keep its definitive name.
However, there is a possibility that he is called Panda, and even the old name Uno is considered to be back.
In any case, the CMP global modular platform, developed by Peugeot-Citroën, will have its debut at the Betim (MG) as Fiat F1H.
Furthermore, the Citroën C3 manufactured by the same Stellantis in Porto Real (RJ) it will have its structural base.
After obtaining information from sources, the patent images of the Fiat F1H demonstrated that the description of column A and its passage to the ceiling are exactly the same as in C3, as well as column B.
This suggests that both models will use the same unibody structure.

Likewise, the F1H's front and rear overhangs will be longer than those of the C3, increasing the length from less than 4 meters to around 4.10 meters, similar to the Chevrolet Onyx It is Volkswagen Pole, in the Indian market.
The width and wheelbase must be identical to those of the Citroën, measuring 2.54 m and 1.75 m. However, like the C3, the model will be positioned as a robust and generous hatch with ground clearance.
It is important to note that the C3 family, which will be sold in Europe with electric-only engines, serves as the basis for the project F1H. This indicates that it will be more advanced in terms of safety and technology than the Brazilian Citroën.
Your goal is to overcome Argo and Mobi in the national market.
However, in Brazil, it will not be the cheapest model in the market. Stellar.
This role will be applicable to the Citroën C3, which costs around R$ 70 thousand.
O Fiat F1H comes next, with prices between R$ 80 thousand and R$ 110 thousand.
