So, what makes the all electric Fiat 500 different?

Itโ€™s been long anticipated and already well received by the motoring community, the incredible aesthetics do not let the heritage down. If anything, the attention to detail is a compliment to the birthplace of this stylish car.

Itโ€™s looks speak louder than its engine sounds, with the loveliest details, from the Fiat branded stitching in the vegan leather seats to the monogrammed retractable roof. Style joins comfort to offer an exclusive driving experience. All details are inspired by nature, like the seats made with Seaqualยฎ fabric, containing plastic recycled from the sea, and designed to amplify the spaciousness of the interior.

Itโ€™s super-light steering and a tight turning circle makes it joyously easy to drive through town or around awkward multi-storey car parks.ย
