Successor to the Fiat 132
In April 1981 the Argenta appeared as a four-door notchback sedan . It was the top model of the Fiat brand. The Argenta replaced the technically and formally closely related Fiat 132 .
The body shell and the outer sheet metal parts were taken over by the Argenta unchanged from the 132nd The designers tried to achieve a contemporary look for the largest Fiat car with wide plastic bumpers, plastic side bumper strips and modified lights.
Fiat initially offered four engines:
