Frequently asked questions about Fiat 500
Is the Fiat 500 a good car?
The Fiat 500 is a reasonably good and reliable city car and was quite popular for its aesthetics alone. Despite its flashy, attractive looks, it never was the best city car and its handling and dynamics never were something to write home about. Most competitors in the compact city car segment are objectively better in terms of performance, but if you’re keen on looks alone the Fiat 500 is still a decent car.
Is the Fiat 500 discontinued in the UK?
Yes. Fiat discontinued the 500 in the UK and sold off most remaining models in 2024. While this applies to petrol and hybrid models, the Fiat 500e remains in production. The 500e offers the same lovely Italian style as the 500 and since 2020 has been sold alongside the petrol, diesel, and hybrid Fiat 500.
Is Fiat 500 fuel efficient?
The Fiat 500 is generally quite good on fuel economy, especially with hybrid and electric variants. For example, the 2018 and 2019 Fiat 500 had an estimated fuel efficiency of 38.0 and 37.3, respectively. Top Gear found that the Fiat 500 had around 50 mpg in mixed driving conditions.
Is the Fiat 500 good for long-distance driving?
No. The Fiat 500 was designed as a city car and that is where it shines, so it isn’t the best choice for long-distance driving. If you’re planning a retreat to the Lake District or Highlands, you’ll certainly want something with more muscle than what the 500 offers.
What is the nickname of the Fiat 500?
The original Fiat 500 was historically nicknamed Topolino (“Mickey Mouse” or “little mouse”) in the pre-war period. Its successor launched in 1957 was nicknamed Nuova 500 (“New 500”) or Cinquecento (“500”). The new Fiat 500 from 2008-2024 has no nickname.
