Upgraded Cabin for the Refreshed 2016 Fiat 500

The renovated 2016 Fiat 500 has been unveiled for the market on the continent. The vehicle features an upgraded cabin at full speed.

The automaker has addressed one of its hugest flaws with the current 500 with the mid-cycle refreshment. Those are the proper infotainment system and lack of a touchscreen. The renovated offering has a regular 5-inch screen that receives power from UConnect. By the way, this is one of the best infotainment systems.  Moreover, it is the most-user friendly system on the whole market. The automaker has also added LED daytime running lights. A panoramic sunroof and touchscreen are among the new options. These options will become the regular equipment on more luxury trimlines.

The exterior has not been changed too much. The front fascia received several cosmetic updates, such as some chrome trim and new headlamps. As to the vehicle’s back, it got the taillights tweaked. The car also gained new wheels.

Speaking about the European market, the 500 is going to receive power either from a 0.9-litre two-cylinder engine generating 85 hp or 105 hp, or from a 1.2-litre engine producing 69 hp. Some markets will also offer a Turbo variant of the 0.9-litre two-cylinder engine. The producer mentioned a 1.3-litre engine with an output of 95 hp.

The current offering has been riding around for 8 years already.

Come back here for more information as Fiat will reveal the innovated 500 oriented at North American market soon. Probably, most of the changes will be aimed at the North American 500 with the exception for some of the motor options.
