About the Fiat Pulse
Launched in 2021, the Pulse represents Fiat's strategic entry into the highly competitive South American B-SUV segment. Developed in Brazil under Project 363, it utilizes the MLA platform, an evolution of the Argo hatchback's architecture with increased structural rigidity for improved safety. The Drive 1.3 serves as the entry-level variant, featuring the reliable Firefly flex-fuel engine that prioritises fuel economy over outright performance. While it shares some components with the Argo, the Pulse features a distinct, higher-riding stance and a modern interior equipped with Fiat's latest connectivity suites.
