Fiat 500
The Fiat 500 is a “boutique” city car offered at off-the-rack prices. Its 1.6L MultiAir engine is offered in three iterations: 101 horsepower (Pop, Sport, Lounge), 135 horsepower (Turbo), and 160 turbocharged horses (Abarth). A five-speed manual gearbox equips all versions, while a six-speed automatic is optional in all but the sporty Abarth. The Pop, Lounge and Abarth trims are available with a folding cloth top. Our American neighbours also get an electric version, the 500e.
