The 124 Station Wagon arrived in American showrooms powered by a 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine producing 110 horsepower, paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Fiat engineered this variant specifically for the US market with heavier bumpers, revised emission controls, and stiffer suspension geometry to handle American roads. It competed directly against Japanese wagons
