What Changed
The US version of the Fiat 500 arrives for the 2012 model year. The 500 is a small front-wheel-drive car with seating for four passengers. In size, the 500 is smaller than vehicles like the Mazda Mazda2, Mini Cooper and Toyota Yaris, yet significantly larger than the Smart Fortwo. A 1.4l four-cylinder engine is standard on all models. Three trim levels are offered: Pop, Sport, and Lounge. The performance oriented 500 Abarth adds a turbocharger increasing the power output to 160-bhp.
