Fiat SA's Most Affordable Cabriolet
Fiat SA's Most Affordable Cabriolet
Despite its affordability it remains surprisingly practical, reassuringly safe and alluringly exclusive. Powered by a 1.2 Euro 4-compliant motor, it develops 51 kW at 5 500rpm and produces 102 Nm of torque at 3 000rpm.
Navigating through city traffic is a synch for the little runabout with an average fuel consumption of just 6.4l/100km. On the open road the figures drop even further with an average fuel consumption of only 4.3l/100km.
Designed to respect the most stringent standards, the Fiat 500c is one of the safest cars in its entire segment. All models, including the newly introduced 1.2 Cabriolet, come standard with seven airbags (two at the front, two curtain-bags, two sidebags and one to protect the knees) unheard of for this vehicle class. The Fiat 500 also adopts sophisticated technical solutions to guarantee that the driver is in complete control of the car at all times including ABS complete with EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution).
Power steering, remote central locking, power windows, airconditioning, daytime running lights and "Follow me home" headlights are just some of the standard features on offer. It also boasts a radio/CD with MP3 player and Fiat's acclaimed Blue&Me handsfree system, which features Bluetooth technology, voice recognition, steering-wheel mounted controls and a digital audio file player with USB port.
