Presented in 2007, it has conquered the Italian market thanks to the body design reminiscent of the historic 1957 model. 3,570 mm allow you to easily navigate traffic. The 500 Cabrio version is distinguished by the canvas roof, which can be opened on the move up to 60 km / h. The dashboard made of good quality plastics (which vary according to the body color chosen by the customer), includes an analog / digital instrument panel and a 5 or 7 inch display. Below theinfotainment, the Fiat designers have arranged various physical controls (including the comfortable knobs to adjust the temperature), which together with those positioned on the steering wheel allow you to control the car’s functions. The interior space is sufficient for four adults, while the seats, depending on the set-up, can be in fabric or leather. The boot capacity is 185 liters.
