The Fiat 600, or Seicento, is with us again: an urban crossover with Jeep DNA and a green heart

Fiat 600, now 4.17 meters (or 164.1 inches) long, rules the roads with its new stature. Its design, enhanced with large 18-inch wheels, reflects a strong connection with its smaller urban sibling, the 500. Fiat's distinctive 600 badging is hard to miss as it stands proudly prominently. The absence of the Fiat badge on the front is a remarkable design twist, as the badge is now hidden only on the rear of the car. However, compared to its predecessor, the Seicento, it has changed considerably in terms of concept.

Fiat 600 shares its machine "heart" with Jeep Avenger, as both are based on the e-CMP2 platform created by the automotive corporation Stellantis. Interestingly, this innovative platform will also be the basis for a new version of the Alfa Romeo vehicle in 2024.

Fiat 600 is a redesigned "Fiat" 500x, but remains true to its character. Designed for five passengers, it offers a spacious interior with 360-liter (12.7 cubic feet) trunk, which expands even more when the rear seats are folded, and an additional 15 liters (0.5 cubic feet) of storage space.

The commitment to green mobility is reflected in the 54-kWh battery pack – which will be sufficient for a city car and some short trips. It promises more than 400 kilometers (249 miles) of range in the combined WLTP cycle. City driving promises even longer autonomy, as it extends up to 600 kilometers (373 miles). When the power runs out, you can charge the battery up to the 80% in less than half an hour using the 100 kW charger.

In the second half in 2024 the Fiat 600 will be available also with a hybrid drive, which confirms Fiat's commitment to strengthening its "green" portfolio. At the same time, it says a lot about the platform itself.

All this and more is available in Fiat 600. With a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch infotainment system and six speakers, Fiat 600 sets new standards in its segment.

In Italy, the price for the Fiat 600 will start at 35.950 € for the "red version" and will climb to 40.950 € for the most equipped version of La Prima.

The Fiat 600 offers a unique blend of classic aesthetics and modern innovations that we expect from modern electric vehicles. Nostalgia and progress go hand in hand in this reimagined car that highlights how respect for the past and the future can coexist in harmony. And as the saying goes: "Old love does not rust". The Fiat 600 is definitely an example of how this love of cars not only survives, but thrives in the new millennium.
