Fiat 500 Hybrid Torino

Fiat opens a new chapter in its history with the official launch of the 500 Hybrid Torino, a special edition created to celebrate the brand's strong bond with the city and the long-awaited return of production to the historic Mirafiori factory.

The 500 Torino is a social and industrial symbol that marks a step forward in the revitalization of the factory, thanks to the return of one of Fiat's most beloved models that defined Italy's cultural heritage.

"Mirafiori is more than a factory, it is the heart of Fiat, and today the legendary 500 finally returns home to Turin with the special edition, the 500 Hybrid Torino. This model pays tribute to our origins and continues to be a symbol of Italian innovation, culture and society. The story that began in 1957 today marks an important new chapter dedicated to our city," said Olivier Francois, Fiat CEO and Global Marketing Director of Stellantis.

To further celebrate its hometown, the Fiat 500 Hybrid Torino will make its official debut at the Turin Motor Show, from 26 to 28 September.

With this tribute to Italian entrepreneurship and innovation, Fiat renews its iconic style, which has lasted for decades, becoming a true expression of elegance, functionality and Turinese determination. From the factory to the streets of Turin and beyond, the 500 Torino establishes itself as the perfect synthesis of tradition, innovation and a true Italian soul.

The 500 Hybrid Torino perfectly embodies the style, culture and creativity of Turin. The exterior boasts vibrant colours, yellow-gold and ocean green, plus five additional colours available on request. Although the design is inspired by the electric version, it immediately stands out thanks to the side badge featuring the Mole Antonelliana, Turin's most recognisable symbol, alongside the Hybrid logo, which represents the vehicle's new hybrid technology. Inside, it stands out with exclusive seats featuring the Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino logo, a body-coloured dashboard and a black steering wheel.

Driving the 500 Hybrid Torino, every journey becomes easy thanks to features such as keyless entry, automatic climate control, cruise control and rain and parking sensors. The technology is integrated into the 10.25-inch DAB display, which supports wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, USB mirroring and various connected services.

The model is now available to order in Italy, with first deliveries scheduled for February next year. The full lineup, with more trim levels, will be revealed in November, and the entry-level version will be priced at under €17,000.

The Fiat 500 Hybrid is equipped with a 65-horsepower 1.0-liter mild-hybrid gasoline engine mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. It maintains the same design and dimensions as the Fiat 500e, but features hybrid technology for greater efficiency.

Beneath the sophisticated design beats a completely Italian heart: a 1.0-liter three-cylinder FireFly engine with 65 hp (E6bis compatible), paired with a six-speed manual transmission and supported by 12V mild hybrid technology.

The Torino special edition starts at €18,950, with Fiat offering a €1,000 discount for those dismantling a Euro 4 or older vehicle, and an additional €950 discount for those who choose financing.

The launch edition comes with an equipment package that combines technology and style. The design pays homage to the city of Turin, with the Mole Antonelliana emblem on the rear and the full acronym FIAT (Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino) embroidered on the seat backs.

The 500 Hybrid Torino marks the launch of the 500 Hybrid series, which will be fully presented in November 2025.
