It was presented in Brazil in May 2017, being sold as of June. It is a five-door hatchback that replaced the Fiat Punto and the Fiat Palio. The Argo was presented a year later than planned, and was developed to strengthen Fiat's offering in the subcompact (B) segment, traditionally an important one for Fiat.{{cite web|url=http://autovisie.nl/2017/05/nieuws/onduidelijkheid-europese-carriere-fiat-argo/|website=Autovisie|access-date=22 May 2017|title=Onduidelijkheid Europese Carriere Fiat Argo|date=18 May 2017}}

Powertrain
The three-cylinder, 1.0-litre version of the Firefly engine is exclusive to the Brazilian local market, where sub-litre engines benefit from lower taxation, while the available 1.3-litre engine is standard elsewhere. At the launch, the 1.3 was available with the option for an automated-manual transmission named GSR, which was phased out in 2019, while the 1.8L E.torQ has retained the availability of an automatic transmission. For the Trekking trim released in 2019, the 1.3 is the base engine and the 1.8 is offered only with the automatic transmission. All engines are flexfuel for Brazil, and gasoline only elsewhere.
Safety
The Argo has front ventilated disc brakes.{{Cite web|url=https://autopapo.uol.com.br/noticia/fiat-fastback-2023-precos/|title=Fiat Fastback 2023: preços, versões, fotos, vídeo e impressões|first=Marcelo|last=Jabulas|website=AutoPapo|language=pt-BR}}
