Standard features include a 10.25-inch multimedia display (running ‘UConnect 5’ software), a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster, climate control air, wireless Apple Carplay & Android Auto, a panoramic fixed glass sunroof, synthetic leather seat trim, a wireless charging pad, heated front seats and six-speaker audio with digital radio. There’s also 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, tail-lights and daytime running lights, plus keyless entry and start.

Power is provided by a traction electric motor sending 87kW/220Nm to the front wheels via a single-speed reduction gear automatic transmission.

The interior evokes 500s of old with a familiar elongated central panel across the dash, a two-spoke steering wheel and a circular instrument binnacle. The single trim option is ‘Ice Beige’ synthetic leather on the seats and door panel, with a super-cool ‘FIAT’ monogram pattern, throwing back to the brand’s typography from the ‘60s and ‘70s. Overall, the cabin design is neat and ultra-clean with a high-quality attention to detail.
