Fiat 500 Street unveiled

Following the launch of the Colour Therapy a couple of weeks ago, Fiat has revealed the latest model in its revised 500 city car line-up.

Called the 500 Street, it’s being pitched as offering sporty looks without the additional running costs of a high-performance engine.

The specification is pretty generous, too, with 16” alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, dark tint windows and a satin chrome finish for the exterior trim pieces setting it apart from other 500 versions.

Moving into the cabin, the standard equipment list includes sports seats, air conditioning, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and Bluetooth connectivity.

In the UK, prices for the 500 Street are identical to the existing Lounge variants, and depend on engine choice.

Go for the 1.2 litre petrol model and the cost is £11,360, while the 0.9 litre TwinAir petrol is more expensive at £12,760. The 1.3 litre MultiJet diesel engine is also available, but it raises the price even further to £13,760.

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
