- Fiat unveils an updated Dolce Camper concept at the Sao Paulo Auto Show.
- Boxy SUV design features pixel LEDs, long roof rails, and a pop-up roof.
- Platform supports electric, hybrid, and traditional combustion engines.
Last year, Fiat previewed a series of concept cars that hinted at what might come next for the Panda line. Now, with the subcompact Grande Panda already rolling off production lines, the automaker has brought a fresh take on one of those ideas to Brazil, including the Dolce Camper concept, complete with tougher looks and a pop-up tent.

adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){
adpushup.triggerAd(“0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8”);
} else {
adpushup.triggerAd(“82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f”);
}
});
The new version of the Dolce Camper stays close to the original design, but introduces new colors and textures inspired by Brazil’s natural landscapes.

The exterior carries a rugged look with pixel-pattern LED lights, plenty of ground clearance, and disc-style wheels wrapped in off-road tires.
Its standout feature is a set of roof rails running from the hood to the rear, fitted with additional LEDs and supporting a “Pandora” pop-up roof that slides forward and resembles a padded puffer jacket. A ladder built into the tailgate provides direct access to the sleeping area above.

Inside, the minimalist dashboard features a wooden shelf, a metal speaker, and a steering wheel modeled after the roofline of Turin’s Lingotto factory. The futuristic seats, trimmed in orange upholstery and topped with cylindrical headrests, continue the concept’s geometric theme. The layout seems to accommodate four passengers with a spacious cargo area.
Fiat says the Dolce Camper rides on a “multi-energy platform” that can accommodate electric, hybrid, or internal combustion powertrains. The description matches Stellantis’ Smart Car architecture, which already supports models such as the Fiat Grande Panda, Opel Frontera, Citroën C3, and C3 Aircross.

According to Fiat, the Dolce Camper “embodies the brand’s vision for the future of design and mobility”, which could mean the concept previews a future SUV positioned against models like the Dacia Bigster.

adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){
adpushup.triggerAd(“bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c”);

}
});
Fiat has already confirmed plans to launch one new model every year from 2026 through 2030. Among them are expected to be a South American variant of the Grande Panda, a fastback crossover recently spotted testing in Europe, and possibly the SUV hinted at by this concept.
Fiat revealed the Dolce Camper just ahead of the São Paulo Auto Show, taking place from November 22 to 30. Alongside it, visitors will find other displays such as the Abarth Pulse Stranger Things limited edition and the Strada Pipeline pickup, which comes dressed with a full suite of Mopar accessories.
