The Fiat X6H, in the long run, will replace both the Punto and Palio in Brazil. It's claimed to feature a design that will borrow cues from the Fiat Tipo hatchback, with reports calling it a 'Brazilianized' version of the Tipo. Some of the elements borrowed from the test mules in spy shots include swept-back headlamps flanking a mesh grille, new horizontal wrap-around taillamps, rear windshield wiper, roof spoiler and registration plate area on the bumper.

Local reports suggest that the X6H's engine lineup will include a 1.3-litre GSE engine with over 101 hp and around 13.7 kg.m of torque, a 1.8L 4-cyl E.torQ EVO engine from the Fiat Toro and a base 1.0L Firefly 3-cyl flex fuel engine from the Fiat Mobi, which produces 72 hp and torque of 10.4 kg.m of torque.
