Fiat 500 Five-Door On The Way

The Fiat Punto will soon be retired for the European markets and will be replaced by a five-door version of the Fiat 500.

It is a decision similar to that made by MINI, which will offer a five-door version of its Cooper model starting next year.

The five-door Fiat 500 will go on sale shortly after the release of the 500X that aims to be the compact SUV version of this family of extremely popular models.

It will not be a redesigned Fiat 500L but rather a five-door 500. The car we would be unveiled sometime in 2014 and appear in showrooms in early 2015.

It would be extremely surprising if this model doesn’t become available in North America.
