New Fiats unveiled in birthday video

Fiat has marked its 127th anniversary with the reveal of two new family-focused models, the Grizzly and Grizzly Fastback, writes Brian Byrne. Unveiled in a playful launch video set in an Italian registry office, the pair offer two distinct silhouettes.

The Grizzly is a 4.4-metre SUV aimed at customers prioritising comfort, space and everyday usability. The 4.5-metre Grizzly Fastback adds a more distinctive coupe-style profile while maintaining generous interior room and a 600-litre boot. Both will be offered with petrol, mild hybrid and fully electric powertrains delivering up to 145 hp, with manual or automatic transmissions depending on market.

The duo will be available in seven body colours and will make their public debut at the Paris Motor Show in October, ahead of a commercial launch from the final quarter of 2026. Irish-market timing, specifications and pricing will be confirmed closer to launch.
