South America[edit]

Fiat Uno, specifically developed for Brazilian market

Fiat has invested for a long time in South America, mainly in Brazil (where has been the market leader for many years) and in Argentina. They built their first Brazilian car plant at Belo Horizonte in 1973, after having begun by building tractors there.[8]

The Brazilian range is similar to European one, with the addition of a special family which derives from a common platform (called "Project 178"): Fiat Palio, Fiat Palio Weekend, Fiat Palio Adventure, Fiat Siena, Fiat Grand Siena.

Recently a brand new model developed in Brazil has been launched: the Fiat Uno.

Other European models are currently imported to Brazil: Fiat 500, Freemont. Some others are still in production: Punto, Idea, Bravo, and Linea.
