New Fiat 500 Hybrid

The Fiat 500 continues to win the hearts of drivers around the world thanks to the arrival of the new Fiat 500 Hybrid, presented in Turin during a special media event that runs until November 28.

The Fiat 500 Hybrid represents a new chapter in Fiat's journey, combining the brand's rich heritage with cutting-edge technology, all while celebrating the timeless beauty and soul of Italian design.

This special moment also marks the model's link with the Mirafiori factory in Turin, the original birthplace of the 500 in 1957. Production of the new 500 Hybrid officially began in November at the Carrozzerie Mirafiori factory in Turin, with the aim of producing over 5,000 units by the end of the year. At full capacity, the Mirafiori plant is expected to increase its annual production by around 100,000 additional units, strengthening its strategic role in Fiat's industrial footprint and once again celebrating the link between the brand and its hometown.

Available in three body styles - hatchback, 3+1 and convertible - with the POP, ICON and LA PRIMA equipment packages. The three new versions complete the "TORINO" launch series, a tribute to the city that has always been Fiat's home.

Fiat opens a new chapter in its history with the official presentation 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 plant.

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

The 500 Hybrid Torino perfectly embodies the style, culture and creativity of Turin. The exterior boasts bright 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 for its exclusive seats with the Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino logo, the body-coloured dashboard and the black steering wheel.

Driving the 500 Hybrid Torino makes every journey 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.

Underneath the sophisticated design beats a completely Italian heart: a 1.0-liter three-cylinder FireFly engine with 65 hp (E6bis compliant), mated to a six-speed manual transmission and supported by 12V mild hybrid technology. With this tribute to Italian entrepreneurship and innovation, Fiat renews its iconic style, which has endured 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.
