The Pulse Abarth is the scorpion brand's first SUV in the world, recognised since it hit the market in 2022 as one of the best options in the category and the only one to deliver truly sporty characteristics. Subversive, the poisoned option under the Abarth banner acts as a ‘B-side’ to the Pulse's personality, guaranteeing tailor-made adjustments for provocative driving and exclusive equipment that are the secret to its success among a legion of enthusiasts.
Now, the Pulse Abarth arrives in the 2026 line-up with a new exterior design that makes the model look even more modern and at the same time imposing, living up to the scorpion brand and the admiration of its fans. The model features a completely remodelled front end, with a new bumper that brings more prominent and striking lines. The upper front grille is also completely new, in gloss black and red, with verticalised and accentuated straight lines that reinforce the model's aggressive look, together with a new LED fog lamp.
Following the brand's global standard, a new script logo with the word Abarth in a darker tone has been added to the centre of the grille, with a scorpion detail in the bottom right corner. The skidplate (lower grille) follows the straight-line format of the new front end and the side air intakes have been given more prominence with new lines and a red finish. Completing the changes to the exterior look are the new exclusive 18" wheels finished in gloss black with hollow rims and the scorpion logo with red detailing.
The new interior, which retains its premium look in dark tones, gains even more sophistication with the arrival of the panoramic sunroof with electric opening curtain. New, completely redesigned sports seats feature a new finish with the Abarth name embroidered, a scorpion design in high relief and red stitching. As well as being beautiful, the seats strike a good balance between sportiness and comfort, featuring an anatomical shell-shaped set for a sportier drive, and new electric adjustments for the driver. Complementing the interior changes is a new vinyl door panel.
"We are proud to have developed an authentic Abarth, which is recognised by the public as a unique and truly sporty option in this category. Like us, Brazilians are passionate about speed, sportiness and provocative performance, and the Pulse Abarth delivers all these attributes and transforms driving into an extraordinary driving experience. Constantly evolving, the model now comes with new equipment to keep accelerating with the best we have to offer in a sports SUV," celebrates Frederico Battaglia, Vice President of the Fiat Brand for South America.
