Fiat has revealed the refreshed 500 range for the 2021 model year in Europe. However, don’t expect any major changes as the Fiat 500, 500X, and 500L have been updated with just new trim levels and new color options.
For 2021, the Fiat 500 model family is
available in five new trim levels: Cult, Connect, Cross, Sport and the
Dolcevita. The Cult is the entry-level grade but it features a new, exclusive ‘Sicilian
Orange’ livery paired with new blue fabric upholstery options embellished with
the ‘Fiat’ monogram and a ‘Techno Blue’ dashboard trim.
The new Connect trim targets customers who
‘want to stay connected at all times’, featuring a 7-inch Uconnect infotainment
system with DAB radio, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto as standar, while a new
matte silver dashboard trim is paired with also new ‘Flashy’ seats. The 500
Connect hatch also comes with cruise control, a sports steering wheel, 15-inch
alloy wheels as standard, and is finished in the new Perbene Grey/ Vesuvius
Black two-tone livery.
Fiat’s new Dolcevita trim is exclusive to
the 500 hatch and pays tribute to Italy’s economic boom between the late 1950s
and early 1960s. The interior features a new body-color surround along with
chrome-plated details, a glass sunroof, and optional two-tone paintwork. The
2021 500X Cross features new seats with a camouflage pattern and vinyl inserts,
19-inch alloy wheels, roof rack, and automatic air-conditioning as standard.
The 500L is also available in the Cross trim, adopting the same crossover look
and offering a camouflage-motif interior, 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic
air-conditioning, and rear parking sensors among others.
At the top of the range sits the Sport
grade, offering a unique look with more aggressive detailing. The 500 Sport
features specific bumpers, side skirts, a rear spoiler, and 16-inch alloy
wheels, paired with new black fabric sports seats with red 500 logos, a new
matt titanium dashboard, and more. Similarly the 2021 500X and 500L Sport
feature a more aggressive exterior look, Black Technoprene interior, ambient
lighting, Autonomous City Brake, and tinted windows as standard.
The 2021 Fiat 500 is available in Europe
with two engine options: a mild-hybrid 69HP 1.0-liter petrol and a 68HP
1.2-liter LPG unit. The range of the 500X includes two petrol engines, a
1.0-liter with 118 HP and 1.3-liter with 148 HP, and two diesel options, a
1.3-liter with 94 HP and a 1.6-liter with 118 HP. Finally, the 2021 500L is
available with either a 94 HP 1.4-liter petrol or a 94 HP 1.3-liter diesel.
