Fiat and Google come together in an exclusive collaboration, known as 500 Hey Google. It is the new special series of the New 500 Family, where Google Assistant technology meets the 500 and its world of coolness, design and iconic style for the first time ever. This has resulted in the creation of the special series that, thanks to the integration of Mopar Connect services with Google Assistant in the "My Fiat" Action, enables customers to connect to their car even when they are away from it. Using their own voice, the owner can request and receive information on the car and to interact with it. They can do so via their smartphone or the Google Nest Hub, the smart display bundled with the Welcome Kit received when purchasing a car from 500 Family Hey Google, for user-friendly and innovative connectivity that can make what we do every day even easier.

The New Fiat 500 line-up is expanding, with the second "Launch Edition": the New 500 "la Prima" hatchback. It cleverly combines the new "electric and sustainable" soul of the third-generation 500 with the Fiat icon's unmistakable design and attention to detail, all typical of the best "Made in Italy" products. With even softer and more rounded lines than the previous generation, the New 500 "la Prima" retains the renowned jaunty feel of the "Cinquino", an icon with a unique characteristic in the global automotive industry, raising a complicit, cheerful smile when dealing with the increasing complexity - and sometimes the limitations - of driving in the city. All in all, at a time when mobility is expected to be more sustainable, connected and autonomous, the third generation of the Fiat 500 is once again to the fore, bringing with it design and driving pleasure. It is not just a revolution, but the "reincarnation" of a spirit, one that can inspire renewal. In fact, rules and regulations are not enough for a true revolution, something iconic and beautiful is needed: the New Fiat 500. As in the post-war period, when the first generation of the Cinquino breathed life into mass mobility, the same is happening now with the New 500, channeling positivity and joie de vivre by offering a new dimension and personality to electric urban mobility.
The Fiat 500 and Fiat Panda, undisputed leaders of the city car, will be the first FCA Group models in their category to adopt the new hybrid technology. The new Fiat 500 and Panda Hybrid, available from February and March 2020 respectively, will revolutionize urban mobility once again, making the hybrid accessible to all and indeed becoming the new European benchmark for electrified urban mobility.The new Fiat 500 and Panda Hybrid provide all the benefits of efficient, compact, lightweight and accessible hybrid driving. In short, it is the best solution for a citycar and consistent with the Fiat approach. For the last 120 years Fiat has always been a pioneer in technology and an innovator in mobility and now sustainable mobility.2020 marks the new milestone in the history of the Fiat brand. With the launch of the new hybrid versions of the Fiat 500 and the Panda, the electrification of the brand will begin, and will continue with the start of production in Turin of the new 500. This model will be 100% electric and therefore will play a key role in the e-Mobility by FCA strategy. 2020 will see the group offer a range of products and services to give customers a complete and sustainable mobility experience.
Fiat has confirmed pricing and specifications for upcoming mild-hybrid variants of its 500 and Panda superminis.Under the bonnet of both cars is a new powertrain that links a three-cylinder 1.0-litre petrol engine with a 12-volt electric motor, with the latter working to improve efficiency by allowing the petrol unit to remain switched off for longer. Powering both cars is a new powertrain, combining a three-cylinder engine and 12-volt electric motor (Fiat)This new combination produces 69bhp and 92Nm of torque, sent to the front wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox. Fiat claims the 500 equipped with this new unit can achieve 53.3mpg on the WLTP Combined cycle while emitting 88g/km of CO2, while the Panda is said to be capable of 49.6mpg and 89g/km of CO2 respectively.Though visually near-identical to regular versions of the 500 and Panda, each of these electrified models will be distinguished by a ‘Hybrid’ logo at the rear as well as a ‘H’ pattern made from a design of two drew drops in the centre console.
