From the outside, it is difficult to distinguish the Fiat Titano from the Peugeot Landtrek. The only points of differentiation seem to be the emblems, the redesigned grille and the 18-inch alloy wheels for higher trim levels.
The cabin and profile of the vehicle are shared not only with the Peugeot Landtrek, but also with the Kaicene F70 and Changan Lantazhe from China, which use the same ladder frame underpinnings. Like its siblings, the Fiat is available in single and double cab versions, prioritizing cargo length and interior space, respectively.
With a length of 5,331 mm (209.9 inches), the Titano is slightly longer than the Toyota Hilux and slightly shorter than the Ford Ranger.

The interior is also largely shared with the Peugeot, although the steering wheel carries the Fiat badge. Notably, only the Titano Volcano flagship trim comes with a 10-inch infotainment touchscreen.
The Algerian-spec Titano is equipped with a 1.9-liter diesel engine that produces 150 hp (110 kW) and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque. The engine is mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission that sends power either to the rear wheels (4×2) or to all four wheels (4×4) with an electronic differential lock. The maximum payload of this version is 1,210 kg (2,668 pounds), which is very close to that of its main competitors.

In Brazil, the Titano will be equipped with a different engine, although Fiat didn't specify which one. The proven 2.2-liter Multijet II turbo-diesel sounds like a good candidate, producing 200 hp (147 kW) and 440 Nm (325 lb-ft) of torque. While this hasn't been confirmed, other markets could also use the turbocharged 2.4-liter gasoline that makes 210 hp (154 kW) and 320 Nm (236 lb-ft) in the Peugeot Landtrek.
The Fiat Titano is already available in Algerian dealerships with prices ranging from 3,489,000 DA ($25,939) to 4,289,000 DA ($31,887) depending on the trim level. Fiat is expected to launch the mid-size pickup in other markets in South America and Africa soon.
