Released on the 50th anniversary of the original car's launch, the new FIAT 500 includes 1,800 improvements, resulting in increased fuel economy and reduced emissions.
Powered by a range of Euro 6-compliant engines in five- and six-speed manual gearboxes or a Dualogic robotised transmission, the launch line-up includes the 1.2 litre 69hp, the TwinAir 85 hp and the TwinAir 105 hp.
The TwinAir 0.9 85 hp has an official fuel consumption figure of 74.3 MPG on the combined cycle with CO2 emissions of 90 g/km (74.3 MPG and 88 g/km with the Dualogic transmission).
Aesthetically, the retains the 'face' of its predecessors with headlights which adopt new modules for improved night vision and extra safety. New light clusters define the revised look of the rear, with the fog light and reversing light relocated to the edges of the redesigned bumper trim. This improves safety by separating illumination functions.
The new FIAT 500 will go on sale in the UK in September with prices starting at £10,890 OTR.
