Fiat cannot stop milking the modern-day 500, and in
between launching countless special editions over the past 12 years, they have
recently introduced two new range-topping models called the Star and Rockstar.
Described as a more elegant version of the small car
aimed at young customers, the 500 Star is priced from £ 15,395 in the United Kingdom. It’s finished in a new color called Power Pink, with
other shades available, is matched with chrome details and gets 16-inch alloy
wheels.
Two-tone upholstery, bordeaux-embroidered 500 logo
and two new finishes for the dashboard called matte white and bordeaux are the
defining features inside. Standard equipment includes the glass roof, 7-inch
TFT screen with sat-nav, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, voice recognition,
multi-function steering wheel and others. The car is available in the
hatchback and convertible body styles, with the 69 hp 1.2-liter petrol engine
matched to a manual or automatic transmission, or the 85 hp 0.9-liter Twin Air,
with a six-speed manual.
The 500 Rockstar has a starting price of £ 15,565 and it’s “for those who adore the car’s sportier, wild side”,
always according to Fiat. It’s available in a new matte look called Portofino
Green, alongside other colors, has 16-inch alloy wheels and the bumpers and side
sills from the Sport model. New upholstery, two-tone dashboard, fixed glass roof and 7-inch
display with sat-nav are part of the offering.
The 500 Rockstar model is offered in two
body styles and with the same powertrain options, with the only difference
being the Twin Air, which is coupled to a five-speed manual transmission. Other updates include the 7-inch
Uconnect infotainment system, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which is now
standard from the 500 Lounge upwards.
As part of Fiat’s 120th anniversary celebrations,
those who buy a new 500 will get up to 6 months of free Apple Music.
