Time has passed quickly since the debut of the FIAT Pulse, SUV with which the brand decided to get involved in one of the most popular segments today. By then, we already knew that the model was going to have a sporty variant, called the Pulse Abarth.
Until now, FIAT had released images of the exterior of the version, while, through rumors and spy photos, we also learned of other details, focused on the engine and other mechanical aspects. In the last hours, the brand kicked the board, revealing the engine that this small SUV will have in its sports version, as well as the first official images of its interior.
FIAT Pulse Abarth: Motorization
The small sports SUV will be powered by the 1.3 L Turbo, the same T270 from the Jeep Compass, which delivers 175 hp. It will work alongside a six-speed automatic gearbox. Because its power will be greater than that of the base Pulse (+55 Hp), the version with the Scorpion logo would receive modifications to the brakes, suspension and steering, details that have not yet been confirmed by the brand.

- Black leather seats with Abarth logo
- Red stitching on seats, armrests, steering wheel and gear lever
