In fact, it is not colored because the Italian car manufacturer decided to abandon gray. All future Fiat cars, from the 600 model onwards, will only be available in colorful and lively shades, completely abandoning gray. We are in front of a B-Suv with a distinctive design and bright colors, which we imagined as aA versatile and practical option for families. This model symbolizes a new direction for Fiat, with a unique character and well-defined space in the Fiat range.

The front features a wide grille that incorporates ADAS sensors while the tailgate extends further to improve trunk space, potentially with a larger capacity than the Avenger.
The back is nice and stands out New Fiat lettering and 600 logo With the Italian flag. The line indicates 500X. The front grille matches the body color and is a matter of personal taste. Some also note the similarities in the rear styling and taillights to the Fiat Stilo.
Remember in some ways Jeep Renegade, also regarding the dashboard. In addition to aesthetic impressions, the new Fiat 600, such as Fiat 500X, on a common platform with Jeeps. Fiat’s new B-class SUV will be built on the ECMP2 platform Jeep Avenger It will be shared with all new electric cars of the range B and C Series.
Fiat 600 You will share a lot of the interior Electroplate 500. But some characteristics, starting with the small panel in the center of the dashboard, which will allow you to manage some infotainment functions through hotkeys. For the rest, the electric vehicle setup will be confirmed, offering a dual-screen 7-inch dashboard and infotainment system.

Just over 4 meters longproviding a pocket-like rear space that’s perhaps most comfortable for up to four adults.
They don’t run away from performance: Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h takes about 10 seconds and the maximum speed is 180 km / h. Fuel consumption according to the Wltp cycle is about 5 liters per 100 km traveled. The electric version provides acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in about 9 seconds and the top speed will be 150 km / h. These numbers attest to Fiat’s interest in a satisfactory driving experience.

Like other manufacturers, Stellantis exploits the full potential of STLA mini platform, which is based on the CMP platform developed by the former French group PSA. Fiat traditions are respected: the main innovations will be presented to the Italian market on July 4th, as was the case for the historic Fiat 500 in 1957. Fiat has remained true to this tradition. Sales are expected to start in September.
The only information we don’t know at the moment is related to pricing. It would be interesting to understand In which market segment does Fiat intend to position itself compared to its sister Jeep. In the event that it is a fully thermal car, the starting price is likely to be slightly lower than the current Avenger (23,900 euros online) but an upward adjustment cannot be ruled out.
The most attractive price will be the price of the electric version. Bearing in mind that the electric Jeep starts at 37,900 euros, if only Fiat could show it a little less than 35,000 eurosit could be a competitive electric car for Chinese cars.
