All of the latest generation of Fiat 500 models are equipped with a hybrid powertrain, with the choice of a manual or automatic gearbox. An all-electric model is also available, branded as the 500e.
PetrolThe Fiat 500 is a small city car, so it's not going to have a huge amount of space, yet it remains comfortable.
Interior space
The original 500 nameplate dates back to the 1930s but was revived in 2007. Even though it's technically in its third generation now, the previous models were discontinued in 1975, so there's no comparison between the two. The latest generation includes an all-electric variant, known as the 500e.
Today's 500s have come in many variations, with a current hatchback and convertible model available. Fiat has further extended the lineup with a 500L MPV and 500X SUV.
After 8 highly successful years on sale, the 500 underwent extensive revisions. The Uconnect multimedia infotainment system was brought in line with modern tech, and more safety kit was added. The dashboard looked very different overall, in fact, and Bluetooth, DAB sat nav and smartphone integration was included as standard on top-of-the-range Lounge models.
The exterior design remained extremely recognisable from before, but with re-shaped fog lights and redesigned headlamps, plus LED daytime running lights. The front end was also revised in with a new grille design and tweaked bumper/air intake. A revised taillight and chrome bumper trim at the rear completed the styling changes.
