New trim grades for the 2019 Fiat 500

Fiat has made some changes to its 500 and 500C ranges. The Pop, Lounge and Sport variants continue to be available, but now they’re joined by the Star and Rockstar.

As standard, both new arrivals feature 16” alloy wheels and a Uconnect infotainment system (which incorporates a 7” touchscreen, satellite navigation, Bluetooth, voice recognition and Android Auto / Apple CarPlay compatibility). The hatchback body styles also benefit from a fixed glass roof.

Star buyers have a choice of two two-tone upholsteries, and the dashboard panel can be finished in either matte Bordeaux or matte white.

Additional equipment on the Rockstar includes the Sport’s bumpers and side sill extensions. Inside, this version’s seats are covered in pinstripe fabric with black eco-leather side panels. Some colour contrast is provided by either a matte dark green or a satin graphite dashboard.

All of the convertible 500C models cost £2,650 more than their regular 500 counterparts. However, as a special offer, Fiat is temporarily waiving that premium until the 30th of June.

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Image
Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
