Since Fiat relaunched the Fiat 500 in 2007 with its neo-retro style that suits it so well, it hasn't stopped evolving. It has already attracted more than 1.5 million people. Recently restyled by the manufacturer, it is available in 500 and 500C cabriolet versions.

The different versions of the new Fiat 500

Available in a classic version, the Fiat 500, and a convertible version with a convertible roof, the Fiat 500C, discover the differences between the different bodies offered by Fiat.

The Italian manufacturer gave its model a little makeover by offering it new front headlight optics and rear lights.

The Fiat 500 has always been an icon.

Initially launched in 1936, the Fiat 500, which served as a reference for the current model, is the second generation launched in 1957. Compact and easy to handle, the small 500 can accommodate four people while having a 185-liter boot. And to offer a feeling of space and freedom, opt for the panoramic glass roof, which brings more light on board.

In town, the Fiat 500 is the queen of the small streets; with its size, it sneaks everywhere and parks quickly thanks to its body length limited to 3.57 m. With its height limited to 1.63m and its reduced width, access to the underground car park becomes a simple formality.

It is available in 5 finishes: Cult, Dolcevita, Dolcevita Plus, Hey Google, and Sport. Open across the entire range; the Uconnect DAB multimedia system has the Dolcevita finish, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto compatibility with a 7" TFT screen instead of the 5" present on the entry-level Cult version.

Prices for the Fiat 500 start at $15,790 for the Cult finish and reach $19,290 for the Sport version.

The new Fiat 500, the compact city car with a timeless look

The small city car offers a modern interior. The design of the rounded seats recalls that of the curve of its bodywork. No straight line; everything is soft and round on board and outside. The dashboard accommodates a large round speedometer like its 1950s ancestor.

In the center of the dashboard, the Fiat 500 receives a TFT screen for the Uconnect system in 5 or 7 ", depending on the finish. The multimedia system controls are also accessible from the steering wheel. Everything falls to hand, whether it's the ventilation controls, the gearbox, or the other buttons on the dashboard.

The Fiat 500C: the convertible version of the Italian icon

The sun is pointing at the tip of its nose; the thermometer is approaching 30°C; it's time to drive with your hair in the wind at the wheel of your new Fiat 500C cabriolet.

The city car has a convertible canvas roof to make the most of the warm weather.

The soft top is available in several colors to customize your 500C to your liking.

On board the Fiat 500C, your passengers will be able to appreciate the panorama and the local architecture thanks to an unobstructed view of the sky. The rigid side pillars provide a sense of security for this convertible version of the mythical Fiat 500.

At the wheel of the little Italian in a convertible version, you will not go unnoticed. The Fiat 500C combines style and elegance, and it is the ideal car for dynamic city dwellers who need to move beyond their neighborhood or for young parents who need to take their children to school, music lessons, and sports training.

Which engine to choose for your new Fiat 500?

The new Fiat 500 is available in petrol and hybrid engines. If the gasoline engine tends to disappear in favor of the hybrid version, it still has an attractive proposal with superior approval to the new, more virtuous engine.

Fiat 500 1.2 Petrol

Its 4-cylinder 1.2 engine develops 69 horsepower and a torque of 102 Nm. It meets the Euro 6d standard.

With an empty weight of less than 1 tonne, the Fiat 500 1.2 offers good performance. The 0 to 100 km/h is reached in 12.9 seconds, and the top speed is announced at 163 km/h.

This engine is offered with a 5-speed automated gearbox.

Its measured consumption, between 4.5 and 4.9 l per 100 km, gives it good autonomy with its 35-liter tank. Its CO2 emissions amount to 139 g / km WLTP, enough to allow it to obtain a Crit’Air one sticker.

The new Fiat 500 1.0 Hybrid

Fiat is now offering the new Fiat 500 with a hybrid engine to meet new environmental requirements.

It consists of a 1.0l 3-cylinder petrol engine with light hybridization via an alternator-starter and a small 12-volt lithium-ion battery.

The engine offers 70 horsepower and 92 Nm of torque.

It offers much lower consumption if it is slightly less efficient than the purely thermal 1.2 petrol version.

Thus, on the WLTP cycle, consumption in the combined cycle is between 3.4 and 3.9 l per 100 km. Similarly, pollutant emissions are down 20g/km.

With low consumption and its 35-liter tank, the new Fiat 500 hybrid can reach 1,000 km of autonomy on a single petrol tank.

The hybrid engine receives a 6-speed manual gearbox.
