History

Rear view

The Fiat Toro was developed under the codename Type 226, intended as the second product of the FCA factory in Goiana, Pernambuco, Brazil. It became the country's first medium-compact pickup since the Renault Duster Oroch.

In May 2016, the Toro won a Red Dot Design Award.^[3]

In the Brazilian market, Fiat sold over 100,000 units in the first two years following the Toro's launch.^[4]

Safety

The Toro has front disc brakes.^[5]

The Toro in its most basic Latin American market configuration with 2 airbags received 4 stars for adult occupants and 4 stars for infants from Latin NCAP in 2018.^[6] The Toro had a total score enough for five stars for adult protection, however it did not meet the prerequisite that a side head protection device be fitted as standard across the range and pass a side pole impact test. Fiat sponsored a side pole test on a variant with the optional head airbags fitted and Latin NCAP confirmed that it passed the side pole test, indicating that the model would have achieved five stars, had the head airbags been standard equipment.^[7]
