Standard and optional equipment (Italian Market)
 

It is no exaggeration to say that everyone will find a Fiat 500 that meets his or her needs and tastes. Suffice it to say that there are over 500,000 ways of customising the car, thanks to the combination of 12 body colours, 4 specifications (Naked, Pop, Sport and Lounge), 3 different fabric or leather interiors (in a choice of 3 shades) and 9 types of wheel rims, (7 alloys), as well as 100 accessories created specifically for the model. A range where everyone will find their ideal car, equipping it with all the devices that are available on a car today. The Naked version will not be sold in Italy, where the range will start from the Pop version, which envisages a very interesting array of equipment: two front airbags, two curtain-bags, two sidebags and one knee-bag, ABS complete with EBD, front headlights with DRL function (daytime lights), specific upholstery with a choice of Ivory or Black elements, Dualdrive electric power steering, black electric wing mirrors, height-adjustable steering wheel, centralised locking and electric windows, 175/65 R14” sheet metal wheels with integral wheel hubs. The 500 Pop specification is available with all three engines, but with the 100 bhp 1.4 16v the outfit includes the sophisticated ESP system and an instrument panel with sporty graphics.

For people who want the maximum in terms of content and customisation, there are the Lounge and Sport specifications, which add exclusive equipment to the generous outfit of the 500 Pop. Designed for a customer who demands aesthetic refinement, the Lounge version includes the Chrome kit which features elegant chrome-plated inserts in the seals of the side windows, on the exhaust terminal, on the trim of the inside door handle, the gear lever and the front and rear bumpers. On the outside, the new 500 Lounge features 185/55 R15” alloys, electric body-coloured wing mirrors and a fixed glass roof with sunshade. Inside, it features special fabrics, a leather-upholstered steering wheel with the controls of the Blue&Me system, manual climate control, a radio, CD and MP3 player, a height adjustable front seat, a 50/50 split rear seat with head-restraints, a key with customised remote control and an active handle on the tailgate.
 

And finally, the Sport specification addresses customers who prefer ‘stylish sportiness’ and appreciate a dedicated kit that includes sporty seats with special foam, a rear spoiler, interior upholstery in exclusive colours and fabrics, a chrome-plated exhaust terminal and chrome inserts in the door sills. The Fiat 500 Sport also offers 185/55 R15” sporty alloys, manual climate control, a sporty steering wheel in two colours with the controls for the Blue&Me system, a radio with CD and MP3 player, and electric wing mirrors painted the same colour as the bodywork.

The Sport and Lounge equipped with the 100 bhp 1.4 16v engine also offer the sophisticated ESP system as standard equipment and an instrument panel with sporty graphics. And finally, the Fiat 500 can be equipped with some special devices from the Autonomy Programme, the initiative introduced by the company more than eleven years ago to develop services and vehicles that provide individual and collective transport for people with reduced motor capacities, in line with the latest product novelties, and to encourage the use of the car by the disabled. An outfit by Guidosimplex developed specifically for the new car has an electronic ring accelerator under the steering wheel with a vertical service brake. And to make it easy to fit a wheelchair on the rear seat and make the driver completely autonomous, the driver’s seat can swivel 90°.

Last but not least, a large number of other devices will be on offer from the launch of the Fiat so that customers of the 500 will be able to order the car that meets their wishes and needs. The systems are easy to install and they fit perfectly into the passenger compartment without detracting from ergonomics, roominess, comfort or safety. They supplement the car’s standard controls so that this can still be driven by someone without motor difficulties. And they are easily dismantled, which means that the car can be sold either fully equipped or as a normal car. And there is a whole range of financial products reserved for disabled people.
