Fiat Brazil has rejigged the equipment, optional packages and finishes of the Mobi for the Model Year 2019 with the expanded range adding a new “Easy Comfort” version just above the entry level offering as well as “Extreme Way” special series.

The upgrades come two years after the South American markets only Mobi was launched in April 2016 as a direct competitor to VW's popular Up! with very similar dimensions and a glass tailgate arrangement.

The A-segment Mobi is spun off the Uno's platform and is built at the Betim factory but has slightly reduced dimensions and is in fact Fiat's smallest car on sale in this region.

The changes will allow the Mobi to widen the profile of customers on the Brazilian maket that they connect with, specifically those looking for an affordable, rational and economical car that comes with different equipment levels and a more differentiated finish.
