On the technical front, the Fiat 500 is powered by Fiat's feisty 74 kW 1.4-litre 16v Euro 5-ready engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. Maximum torque is rated at 131 Nm at 4250 rpm. This results in a 0-100km/h sprint time of 10,5 seconds and a maximum speed of 181 km/h. Despite its perky performance fuel consumption is not compromised with the 500 achieving 8,2 l/100km in the urban cycle; 5,2 l/100km in the extra-urban cycle and a very credible 6,3 l/100km in the combined cycle. Emissions are 149g/km.
Safety is of the highest standard with a full complement of passive and active safety systems including 7 airbags, ESP (stability control), traction control, Hill holder and ABS with EBD. All 500s come with a 5-star EuroNCAP rating.
All Fiat 500 models come standard with 30 000 km service intervals and full after-sales support, a three-year / 100 000 km Warranty as well as a five-year / 90 000 km service plan as standard on the new Matt Black.
