Update: Fiat Chrysler Australia sent us the following statement on the vehicle's local status.

“There’s no immediate plans to introduce the Fiat Agea into our Australian line-up. But of course we never completely rule anything out, and should the Agea become available in right-hand drive for our market, then it is something we could consider," it said.
