The Success Story of Fiat Strada: From Brazil to the Middle East and Africa.
Fiat is a global brand that leads the market in three countries: Brazil, Turkey, and Italy. Now, the Italian automaker is expanding its presence in the Middle East and Africa region with the launch of the Fiat Strada, a compact pickup truck that has been a huge success in South America. The Strada is set to debut in November 2023 in several markets, including Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, Rwanda, and Ghana.
The Fiat Strada is a subcompact coupé utility based on the Fiat Palio, a world car project developed by Fiat in Brazil. The Strada was first introduced in Brazil in 1998 as the cargo-carrying version of the Palio. Since then, it has undergone several facelifts.
The Strada is known for its versatility, reliability, technology, and design. It has a maximum loading capacity of 715 kg (1,576 lb) and a cargo space of 1,770 mm (69.7 in) x 1,314 mm (51.7 in).
The award-winning Fiat Toro inspires the Strada’s design. It also has six-spoke alloy wheels and a step-bumper. The Strada’s interior is spacious and ergonomic, with a digital instrument cluster, a touchscreen infotainment system, and various storage compartments.
The Fiat Strada is the best-selling pickup truck in Brazil and the best-selling vehicle overall.
