The Fiat 500 – An Italian Icon
The Workhorse with Italian Flair
Italian cars are famous for a reason. The Ferrari F40, the Lamborghini Huracán, the Lancia Rally 037, the Alfa Romeo Spider – the list reads like a poster book for petrolheads. These dream machines, along with famous design house Pininfarina, are responsible for establishing Italian automobile design as among the best, if not the best in the world.
However, it’s not just fancy sports cars and unobtanium-fuelled hypercars coming out of this European powerhouse. In the Alpine city of Torino (or Turin, for English speakers), there is a manufacturer that is famous for making cars for the working people.
Built for the Urban Environment
Originally introduced in 1957 and named for its engine size of just 479cc, this diminutive Fiat was perfect for buzzing around the narrow cobbled streets of Italian towns and cities. Its small size and ultra-practical design were combined with the cutest styling imaginable, deserving of consideration alongside the Mini Cooper, the Volkswagen Beetle and the Citroën 2CV. The Cinquecento (“five hundred” in Italian) is by any measure a classic. It’s a Vespa with four wheels.
Today, with several engine sizes available (all bigger than the original), convertible and electric versions, you have many choices to capture that unmistakable Italian vibe. Alongside the Fiat Topolino, an all-electric urban mobility vehicle that takes the concept even further, Fiat fans have plenty of choice for their transport.
Stereos With Style
As it is at heart a car for the common people, and priced accordingly, a Fiat 500 is generally thought to be a little stripped-down when compared with a German saloon or American SUV. But why shouldn’t this style icon have an upmarket stereo? As much as it is a practical mode of transport, it’s a style icon and a head turner, so it makes sense that you’d want to be comfortable zipping between appointments.
If you’re more likely to use your car for work purposes, you can always stay connected with robust and smart utilities like wi-fi hotspots and split screen mode. 2K video means that whether you’re at work or at play, everything is crisp and clear. This octa-core flagship unit has even been adapted for the 500’s bigger cousin, the 500X SUV, meaning that you even have an outstanding XTRONS unit for the whole family.
Iconic and Practical
Whether you’re buzzing down a steep mountainside or stuck in morning traffic, the Fiat 500 will always put a smile on your face. With XTRONS’ help, you can add the final touch to make this outstanding model better than ever. Be ready to dress the part, sip an espresso and head to the riviera in your upgraded Italian icon.
