It is unclear if the Argo name will also be used in Europe. The current Punto was on the market for twelve years, and sales sharply declined. The Argo was presented a year later than planned, and is needed to strengthen Fiat's offering in the subcompact (B) segment, traditionally an important one for Fiat.[1]
Its launch in Mexico was announced by FCA of Mexico for the first months of 2020, 2 years after its original introduction in 2018, though no details are revealed for its arrival at the Mexican market.[2]
