There are three cars known as the Fiat 500. The Italian carmaker used the term from 1936 for its so-called Topolino model. After the Second World War, Fiat relaunched the car with a completely new design, referring to this iteration of the Fiat 500 as the 'Nuova' or a new one. Generally, however, the used Fiat 500 car market in the UK isn't made up of either of these models. This is because Fiat launched a third version of the car in 2007, a compact city car, which remains in production to this day. UK variants of the Fiat 500 are made in Tychy, a city in Poland.

The 2007 version of the Fiat 500 was developed from Fiat's earlier compact car model, the Cinquecento. Various concepts were put forward in the 1990s but it was not until much later that the Italian carmaker decided to put the newly designed Fiat 500 into production. Initially offered as a two-door, front-wheel-drive car only, a three-door hatchback was subsequently put into production. There have been a number of major model variants released by Fiat over the years, including the 500C, the Abarth 500 and the Fiat 500e. The car underwent a significant facelift in 2016. In all, five petrol-driven versions of the 500 have been made. There was one diesel-powered option and a 1-litre hybrid that was also introduced.
