Fiat Grizzly and Grizzly Fastback 2026: specs, release date and price

Fiat is preparing two models at once for its return to Europe’s family C-segment. The Grizzly is a practical SUV measuring 4.4 metres, while the Grizzly Fastback stretches to 4.5 metres and gets a more sloped roofline.

The public debut is set for October at the Paris Motor Show, after which the cars will start reaching European dealers. New images give the first proper look at the interior. Fiat has kept a familiar layout with a separate digital instrument cluster and a large central touchscreen, rather than merging the whole dashboard into one display.

Depending on trim, buyers can expect keyless entry, heated seats, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and a rear-view camera. The exact equipment list will vary by market.

Fiat has officially confirmed three powertrain families: petrol, mild-hybrid and fully electric. Peak output will reach 145 hp, with manual and automatic gearboxes on offer. Reports of a specific 1.2-litre turbo engine, a 54 kWh battery and a 156 hp electric motor have not been confirmed by Fiat.

The two body styles differ in more than just looks. The upright Grizzly is built to maximise headroom, while the longer Fastback gets a 600-litre boot — more than the Fiat 600 offers. That makes the newcomer a plausible family alternative to the departed Tipo, though Fiat stops short of calling it a direct successor.

Fiat hasn’t revealed pricing yet. A Spanish outlet’s estimate of a starting price around €22,000 is based on where the model sits between the Fiat 600 and Stellantis’ larger crossovers. The real price list will emerge closer to launch in the fourth quarter of 2026.
