FIAT Fullback Cross 2016-Present Photos, engines & full specs

The Fullback was a badge-engineered product between Mitsubishi and Fiat. The differences were in the details and package options.

In 2016, Mitsubishi was in desperate need of money since its products were less appealing on the market. Apart from its Outlander Plug-In hybrid and the L200 pickup-truck, its products struggled to survive on the market. Fiat, on the other hand, needed a pickup to expand its utility vehicle portfolio. So, instead of developing its product, it asked Mitsubishi to put Fiat badges on the L200.

The main difference between the Fullback and the L200 was the badge and the front fascia. Fiat Fullback Cross featured swept-back headlights and a mesh grille with a 3D pattern on it. The Cross version aimed at those who used the pickup as a recreational vehicle, suitable to carry heavy items in the bed or pull a trailer. While Fiat offered the regular Fullback with two or four-door cabins, the Cross version was available in four-door only.

Inside, the Fullback Cross featured high-end materials, leather seats, and aluminum inserts on the center console and the door panels. A big infotainment system, carried over from Mitsubishi, was fitted as standard.

Fiat Professional was the Italian carmaker's utility vehicle arm, and its customers who already had LCV's from it asked for a reliable and trustworthy off-road vehicle. Fiat offered the Fullback. Under the hood, the pickup-truck featured a 2.4-liter turbodiesel engine for most of the markets, while in specific countries was available with a 2.3-liter gasoline unit. The standard transmission was a 6-speed manual, while a 5-speed automatic was on the options list. A low-range gear was fitted as standard for the entire range.
