2017 FIAT 500 – Minimum Size, Maximum Presence

By most standards the 2017 FIAT 500 is small, yet not too small as to remain unnoticed by the industry. In fact, since it was launched a decade ago, it already holds plenty of awards under its belt. Despite its highly compact dimensions, what makes the FIAT 500 such a giant? Could it be the retro Italian styling? The funky interior? Perhaps the fancy onboard tech? Maybe it’s the simple brilliance of having all of these in a cute-as-a-button package.

2017 FIAT 500 Styling & Interior Features

There’s no denying that the 2017 FIAT 500 is quite the charmer. The design pays homage to the original FIAT Cinquecento, with vintage styling cues comprising its aesthetics. It’s a happy-looking car, with the wide-eyed projector headlights that always look excited in anticipation of the next drive. Pull on the door hinges, and the classic exterior gives way to a contemporary cabin offering elegance, comfort and modern tech for four occupants. The upholstery comes in a choice of either premium cloth or leather, depending on trim. Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) regulates ambient heat or coolness at your fingertips. The 7-inch Driver Information Digital Cluster Display shows you aspects of the car’s functions in real-time, replacing traditional analog gauges. As if the car itself wasn’t fun enough, the onboard 5-inch touchscreen offers Uconnect® 5.0 with media hub for entertainment on the go, as well as hands-free communication capabilities. Everything within easy reach, with minimal fuss and clutter. The 2017 FIAT 500 translates cuteness and functionality into smiles all around, even before you start the engine.
