    About the Fiat 500

    Last updated Dec 18, 2024

    The 2023 Fiat 500 lives on in Australia with just two variants, despite almost being old enough to apply for a learner’s permit.

    The Fiat 500C convertible, as recently reported, has been axed, as well as all of the five-speed manual transmission variants.

    There is now only the 500 Lounge and the 500 Dolcevita.

    Cost of ownership

    What are the running and servicing costs of a Fiat 500?

    How does the 2023 Fiat 500 drive?

    Our expert take on Fiat 500 drivability.

    The 2023 Fiat 500 is powered by a 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine producing just 51kW of power and 102Nm of torque. Although it doesn't seem like much, the vehicle only weighs about 900kg so the power to weight ratio is still relatively reasonable for a city car.

    The only transmission available is a five-speed ‘Dualogic’ semi-automatic, with drive sent to the front wheels only.

    Fiat claims the 500 can do the 0-100km/h sprint in 12.9 seconds, and flat out you’ll be doing 160km/h.
