Whether you’re buying your first car, or just replacing an old one, the Fiat 500 is the car for you.
Why? Because it’s a car designed by you!
Take your pick from 4 different trim levels and 3 engines, not to mention a host of optional extras designed to enhance the style, sportiness and comfort of the Fiat 500. With over 500,000 different combinations available, you’re sure to find your perfect model.
Created by the Fiat Style Centre, the new Fiat 500 is a small 3-door car.

Fiat 500 Exterior
The front combines the family feeling of the most recent Fiat models, with the distinctive elements of the first Fiat 500. For instance, you’ll notice features like the round upper headlights above and main beam lights below, as well as the familiar Fiat 500 whiskers and logo.
On the side, the mid-line slopes slightly at the front giving the Fiat 500 an impression of sturdiness.
While the rear features a distinctive chrome handle reminiscent of the number plate light holder found on the original Fiat 500 model, and similar in shape to that of a bicycle saddle.
To complete the look, there’s a choice of 12 body colours available - pastel, metallic and a pearl finish - all perfectly matching the wide range of interior fabrics and leathers.
And not forgetting the various options for customization of your Fiat 500: from stickers to alloy wheels, badges to style details, elegance and comfort.

On the inside, the Fiat 500 offers a welcoming, protective environment for both the driver and passengers. This is largely due to the large ring bordering the entire inner space, the great attention to detail, quality materials used, and instruments that aren’t just beautiful to look at, but are also easy to use. Chrome elements, two-tone seats, and a dashboard that perfectly matches the body colour combine with handy storage compartments and small details, like a fragrance dispenser, to create an environment that is both elegant and functional and can comfortably accommodate four people.

Fiat 500 Italian design
Italian tradition, immaculate details and harmonious forms typical of the cars from the Fifties to the Seventies, combined with the influences of Italian culture, fashion and new guidelines merge to inspire the designers of Fiat 500.
Fiat tells us that the new 500 is not “a car that ‘looks like’ a 500 but, rather, one that ‘could be’ a 500 again. That said, at first glance, you could be forgiven for thinking that Fiat had never ceased production of the 500 and that the new model is the simply the latest example and the result of natural progression !

Thanks for visit my blog and checking out my kids favorite car: The Cinquecento rosso. In Italy, I see people is so many different towns still driving their Fiat 500. It is small, perfect for driving through small towns built 100s even 1000s of years ago. For being so small, it seems to take in all the essentionals — I see people pulling enormous amounts of stuff (i.e. food from shopping, luggage).
Fiat 500 will be imported to India or will it be manufactured/assembled in India ?
FIAT 500 will come to India through the CBU route. If the 500 was to be manufactured in India it would be half the cost !
I wish they start manufacturing it in india soon.
It is a good car but i dnt find it value for money….
COOL n COMPACT stuff!
kool
Very expensive compared to the Rivals in India, The look are stunning. But with a price tag of almost 15lac on road I would personally prefer buying a luxury vehicle like a ford Endevour or Honda CRV. If it comes to driving a smaller car then I think a Hundai Santro with all the above motioned gadgets will still cost about 7 lac less then the Fiat 500. The 500 certainly has a revolutionary design but its certainly not a value for money spent.
no doubt fiat 500 is an expensive car..
This is certainly a very expensive car. Being a mini model, inspired by early 1960’s design and not a car with its original design, 2 door again as said ‘not worth to spend so much where u can get plenty of luxury cars with almost the same features inbuilt……. I hope after the manufacturing starts in India the cost would be reduced….. I think if people can wait and are ready to pay that huge chunk of money ‘Beetle’ by Volkswagen is much better and beautiful design.
“Well it can be a prestige & Status symbol though”
fiat people have gone nuts i think the engine in swift i10 n palio etc are same as fiat 500 so why to waste 15 lac rupees man.
Fiat looks to be cool.But it’s worthless when some body talks about its price…..
So its better to be wise than to be fool enough.
Public would damn go for a skoda Lauria or Toyota or Honda or jetta there are hell lot of beautiful cars with well equiped and with great fuel Efficiency.
I would suggest maruthi Swift is very very Sportive and Effective car than Fiat 500.

The car looks good its very compac and lots of features are there in the car, but to be honest not worth of 15 lacs, For 15lacs we cars like sedan, SUV’s, MUV’s etc but to spend huge amount on fiat 500 is foolishness.
not worth the cost , should cost around 8 lac. but it,s cute
itz cute bt all in all itz nt worthable……

Think, Fiat should offer atleast 60% discount….
Being one of the few Americans who hace actually owned a Fiat 500, I am very impressed with this new release in everything except for the price. A people’s car? Hardly, not at $30,000+ I was hoping for something more in the range of half that, or less.
I think I will try to recommend this post to my friends and family, cuz it’s really helpful.
Indians are the cheapest people on earth. I can’t see the Italian built 500 do well there.
