The Fiat Argo (Type 358, codeproject X6H) is a subcompact B-segment car by the Italian manufacturer Fiat, developed for the market in South America. 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. A sedan version was launched in 2018, with the name Fiat Cronos, with production in Argentina.

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]
