SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 12, 2025 – FIAT has taken an exciting leap toward a greener future with the assembly of its first pre-production units of the all-new 500 Hybrid at its historic Mirafiori plant in Turin, Italy. With full production set to launch by November, this stylish hybrid city car is poised to blend Italian charm with eco-conscious engineering—offering consumers a smarter, more sustainable way to drive.
A New Era for a Classic Favorite
The FIAT 500 has long been a symbol of Italian creativity and urban flair. Now, with the new hybrid model, FIAT is adding fuel efficiency and reduced emissions to the mix—without compromising the charm that drivers have loved for generations.
The 500 Hybrid is more than just a vehicle; it's part of a broader shift toward accessible electrification. As Olivier Francois, FIAT CEO and Stellantis Global CMO, puts it, “500 Hybrid offers affordable electrification and iconic style, proof that social relevance is at the core of the Brand mission.”
Why This Hybrid Matters to You
The upcoming release of the FIAT 500 Hybrid means drivers can now enjoy the perks of electric mobility while maintaining the flexibility of a traditional engine. It’s a practical, stylish choice for those who want:
- Lower fuel costs and fewer emissions
- Easy navigation through busy city streets
- A vehicle with a timeless design that’s easy to love
- The pride of driving a car that’s "Made in Italy" with global vision
This model is expected to be produced at a scale of over 100,000 units per year once fully operational, reflecting both strong demand and FIAT’s commitment to delivering eco-friendly options at scale.
Rooted in Italy, Designed for the World
By expanding production at the Mirafiori plant—one of Italy’s most iconic automotive factories—FIAT is not just creating cars, but preserving jobs and investing in the local economy. As Francois notes, “Our roots are in Italy and it’s no coincidence that the two most iconic FIAT are made here: the Panda in Pomigliano and the 500 in Mirafiori.”
Over 70% of the vehicles produced at Mirafiori are exported, making the 500 Hybrid a true ambassador of Italian craftsmanship and innovation.
When and Where to Find the New 500 Hybrid
Production of the FIAT 500 Hybrid is on track to begin in earnest by November 2025. Once released, the car will be available across Europe and in other global markets, giving more drivers the opportunity to experience its blend of style and sustainability.
Whether you’re looking to upgrade your daily commute or make a lifestyle change toward cleaner driving, the 500 Hybrid brings the best of both worlds—classic design with modern eco-performance.
