We’re excited to announce the upcoming arrival of the new Fiat 500 range! Expected in early 2021, the new 500 range is made up of hatchback and cabrio bodystyles in three trim levels – Action, Passion and Icon.

More importantly, for the first time ever, Fiat have ditched their petrol engines in favour of a fully electric range.

Orders for the new 500 will be open in December with deliveries expected in March 2021. In the meantime, if you'd like to find out more, our team at Day's Fiat in Swansea will be happy to help.

The entry-level New 500 Action is powered by a 70kW motor, reaching 0-62mph in 9.5 seconds with a top speed of 84mph. With a 23.8kWh lithium-ion battery, the new 500 can travel more than 115 miles in the WLTP cycle or 150+ miles when city driving.

Equipped with a 50kW fast charging system, it takes just 10 minutes to charge enough for the average commute of 30 miles a day.

You’ll get a 3kW cable included for charging, or you have the option to purchase a three-phase 11kW Mode 3 cable and a Mopar Wallbox.

Many Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems comes as standard, including:

• Drowsy Driver Detection - monitors driver concentration levels
• Autonomous Emergency Braking - recognises cyclists and pedestrians
• Lane Keep Assist
• Traffic Sign Recognition

Choose between three driving modes with the new 500’s e-Mode selector – Normal, Ranger and Sherpa. Where connectivity is concerned, the New 500 ACTION receives ‘smart audio’, turning any smartphone into its infotainment system.

Inside, the Action version is packed with technology:

• Auto-start button (Keyless Go)
• Rear parking sensors and electric parking brake
• Configurable 7-inch digital TFT colour screen
• Seaqual yarn seats – include a geometric chevron motif and silver-coloured stitching

The mid-range ‘Passion’ version of the New 500 is available with the 42kWh battery, providing a range of up to 199 miles, increasing to 285 miles when only driven in the city. It features 85kW fast charging, so recharging the battery to 80% range takes 35 minutes, or to 30 miles takes around 5 minutes.

The 118hp motor has an output of 87kW, providing a maximum speed limited to 93mph and acceleration from zero to 62mph in 9.0 seconds and zero to 31mph in 3.1 seconds.

Externally, the Passion stands out with 15-inch two-tone gloss finish wheels and LED daytime running lights.

Inside, find Fiat’s new infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It boasts the Natural Language interface system with advanced voice recognition, allowing you to control charge settings, air conditioning and more by saying “Hey Fiat”. You’ll also find cruise control and climate control as standard with the Passion.

Choose from two interior trims:

• Dark with black dashboard and Seaqual yarn seats with chevron motif and silver stitching
• White dashboard and blue seats including chevron motif

The New 500 Icon uses the same 42kWh battery with a 199-mile range and rapid recharging running at up to 85kW.

It features a new 10.25-inch ‘cinerama’ touchscreen display, with GPS and infotainment system. Externally, this version stands out for its 16-inch alloy wheels, with a dark finish, while the interior sets the benchmark for city cars with many first-in-segment features available as standard.

Passive entry enables handsfree access, which has never been seen before on an A-segment city car and is standard on the Icon. Another distinctive feature is the button-free ‘pebble’ – a smart wearable key that can be carried in a pocket or bag, which automatically unlocks the doors when the pebble is close to the car and locking them again with a simple tap on the door handle.

The 500 Icon dashboard is painted the same colour as the bodywork. A natural wood effect is also available on the dashboard and steering wheel made with a vegan material. The elegant Seaqual yarn seats and pinstripe motif can be chosen in dark grey, with the 500 logo and copper-coloured details, or a light grey with blue flecks and silver logo and details.

Orders for the new 500 will be open in December with deliveries expected in March 2021. In the meantime, if you'd like to find out more, our team at Day's Fiat in Swansea will be happy to help.
