Fiat has partnered with Onto, the electric car subscription service, with 600 electric Fiat 500s to try instead of buy. There is no doubt that electric car sales are booming, but plenty of those new EV sales are down to businesses snapping them up to provide them to employees with, currently, hardly any tax cost. […]

The Electric Fiat 500 La Prima by Bocelli arrives as a limited-run electric 500 special featuring titivations and high-end JBL Sound.

Fiat extends its model offerings supporting the (RED) charity by rolling out (RED) editions of the Panda and Tipo to join the (500) RED. In case you missed it when the Fiat (500) RED was revealed back in September, (RED) – brackets and all – is a charity set up by U2 frontman Bono, and […]

The Fiat 500X Dolcevita – soft-top take on Fiat’s 500 Crossover – goes on sale in the UK with prices starting at £23,975. The Fiat 500X arrived back in 2014 as Fiat’s answer to the MINI Countryman, and although it still seems incongruous to encounter a super-sized 500 on the road (and the same applies […]

There’s another new Abarth ‘Special’ Edition – the Abarth F595 – with a formula 4 engine and vertically stacked exhaust pipes. Costs from £20,305. We’re not entirely sure what Abarth has planned when the Fiat 500 is electric-only, but they’re certainly making the most of things with their take on Fiat’s 500 ahead of that […]
Abarth 695 Esseesse – a new limited-run of Abarth’s take on the Fiat 500
The Abarth 695 Esseesse arrives as a limited run Abarth 695, adding styling tweaks, reduce weight and more downforce. Fiat may be heading down the EV road with its new electric Fiat 500, but its performance brand, Abarth, isn’t up for that, at least not yet. Instead, it continues to make hugely fun performance models, […]
Fiat to go all ELECTRIC by 2030 – and at prices comparable to ICE cars
Fiat has announced it will build only electric cars by 2020, and that the EVs it produces will be comparable in price to ICE cars. We’re rather getting used to car makers declaring they are heading to the point where they will only build electric cars, and consign ICE cars to the history bin. It’s […]

Fiat has updated the 500 range – 500, 500L and 500X – for 2021 following a range of updates to the Panda and Tipo in late 2020. There was a time when Fiat had a wide range of models on offer, with the glorious Fiat 130 Coupe perhaps the pinnacle of Fiat appeal and opulence […]
Fiat Tipo gets a bit of a facelift, and there’s a BUTCH Fiat Tipo Cross too
The Fiat Tipo gets a bit of an update for the 2021 model and adds the Tipo Cross to the range with raised ride height and butch cladding. Two years ago, when Sergio Marchionne was still alive and at the helm of Fiat, he made it clear that the future for Fiat was city cars, […]
