Back In Black

Back In Black

Date: 2013-03-14
Following on from the success of the Fiat 500 by Diesel, the Fiat 500 Matt Black is characterized not only by its individual matt black finish, but with its grille mouldings, door handles and door mirrors , its 16" alloy wheels are also matt black with a red coach line and red brake calipers creating a sporty accent.

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.

Contact CMH Fiat Umhlanga on 031 9404 569 and take a 500 for a test drive. Visit them at 89 Flanders Drive, Mt Edgecombe.
