Previous model Fiat 500 (2007)

The 2020 Fiat 500 is the first electric car from the Italian automaker Fiat . The successor to the Fiat 500 , which was sold from 2007, is again assigned to the subcompact class and is still similar to the Fiat Nuova 500 manufactured between 1957 and 1977 .

history

The new 500 generation was originally supposed to be presented on March 3, 2020 as part of the Geneva Motor Show . Due to the COVID-19 pandemic , the auto show on February 28, 2020 was canceled without replacement, which is why Fiat presented the model on March 4, 2020 in Milan . Since then, the model has initially been sold on the Internet as the “early bird version” La Prima . The first vehicles are expected to be delivered to customers in October 2020.

For the world premiere, the companies Giorgio Armani , Bulgari and Kartell designed three unique pieces of the 500th They will be auctioned, the proceeds will benefit an environmental organization run by Leonardo DiCaprio .

production

In contrast to the 500 introduced in 2007, which is still in production, production no longer takes place in Tychy , Poland , but in FCA's Italian Mirafiori plant .

Production of pre-series models began in February 2020 before it was interrupted on March 13, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The series models are to be produced from July 2020.

technology

The accumulator placed in the vehicle floor has a capacity of 42 kWh. A quick charge function via CCS plug is installed as standard. This should allow the battery to be charged with up to 85 kW. The range according to WLTP is specified as 320 km.

The 87 kW (118 PS) electric motor enables acceleration to 100 km / h in nine seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 150 km / h.

The new Fiat 500 is equipped with various assistance systems and various cameras that enable semi-autonomous driving. These include a lane departure warning system, a speed assistant, a drowsiness warning and a 360 ° camera system.
