Fiat celebrates 500’s birthday

On the date of 500’s birthday, Fiat celebrates the brand’s successful journey in recent years with an overview: both of its present and its vision for a bright and exciting future. The event was also the occasion to introduce the enlarged 500e family: the New Fiat Topolino, 500’s little sister, and the New Fiat 600e, the big sister.

Olivier Francois, Fiat CEO and Stellantis CMO, said: “Fiat’s future is on track. In two years, we have made Fiat more profitable and more global than ever. Fiat has become the number 1 Stellantis brand by volume and leader in three major markets – Italy, Brazil and Turkey – in three different regions. Fiat has a clear role: a sharp focus on simplicity, lateral thinking, joyfulness and social relevance. All this makes us more attractive for Stellantis: and a brand worth investing in, in a big way. Thanks to Stellantis we have access to more resources, investments and synergies. So, Fiat is well and truly back. In the next three years our product plan will get Fiat back to where it belongs: a leader, a benchmark, a love brand. Today we are presenting the first fruits of this new era “powered by Stellantis”: the 500e family gets much bigger with a little sister, the Topolino, and a big sister, the new 600e.”

Meanwhile, Fiat continues its mission to develop sustainable mobility for the cities where electric driving becomes easy and accessible to all. Joyful, 100% electric – able to access and park anywhere – and only 2.53 meters long it is more agile than a car. With a range of 75km, easy charging – with a simple plug-in at home – and max speed of 45km/h – which fits perfectly with the new trend of speed limit of 30 km/h in the cities -, Topolino is the ideal solution for the urban mobility. Simplicity is the key: the line-up consists of two bodies: the “closed” Topolino and the “open” Topolino Dolcevita, with one colour, one wheel design, one interior, plus exciting customisation options

Moreover, the New Fiat 600e takes the best of the B and B-SUV worlds to offer a beautiful, joyful, and pampered driving
experience, marking the brand’s return to the B-segment. It is the ideal solution for city lovers and is the perfect embodiment of the brand’s values of Italian style and sustainability. 

It has a generous size of 4.17 meters length, 5-doors, with a comfortable roominess for 5 persons and 15 litres of interior storage – best in class – and a trunk with 360 litres of load capacity. The lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of 54 kWh give the New 600e more than 400 km range and more than 600 km in the urban cycle.
The New Fiat 600e is available in 2 different full-electric versions, New Fiat 600e La Prima, which represents the full upgraded version of the iconic New 500e, and New Fiat (600e)RED, the most accessible version of the New Fiat 600e.
Packed with state-of-the-art safety and assistance features, it brings all the associated benefits to urban and extra-urban mobility with Level 2 Assisted Driving.
