Change of strategy: Fiat brings back internal combustion engines
The Fiat 500 is currently only available in an electric version, with two power levels: the 70 kW (95 hp) version has a 23.8 kWh battery, which should provide a range of 190 kilometers (WLTP). The more powerful 87 kW (118 hp) version should allow for a range of up to 321 kilometers (WLTP) thanks to a 42 kWh battery magazin de piese auto online.

The last 500 with an internal combustion engine rolled off the assembly line in the summer of 2024. The motto was “pure electric” – but that only lasted about a year. From November 2025, Fiat 500s with internal combustion engines will once again be produced in Turin. This will be a mild hybrid with a six-speed manual gearbox. There will be no changes to the body design: the classic three-door model is available as a sedan and a convertible. The 3+1 model will also be retained. The reason for the change in strategy is the weak demand for electric cars.
