Introducing the all-new Fiat 600
As part of Fiat's charge towards a greener future, the Fiat 600 stands as a more practical alternative to the ever-popular Fiat 500.
As a quirky SUV, you have 500+100 reasons to consider it over rivals including upgraded range, upgraded space and upgraded roominess. It's also available in both hybrid or fully-electric variants, allowing you to pick a setup that best suits your lifestyle.
While a lot may have changed compared to traditional Fiat models, it still possesses the charm, charisma, and affordability we've all grown to know and love. It truly is the Italian upgrade.
Design and Practicality
The main selling point compared to other alternatives within the Fiat range is that the 600 offers enhanced levels of practicality and comfort. A plentiful 360-litre boot and spacious interior ensure you enjoy La Dolce Vita as standard, while customisation options such as an adjustable boot floor are available to make life even easier.
Visually, it's instantly recognisable as a Fiat thanks to its unrivalled style. Boasting bigger dimensions than what we're typically used to seeing from the Italian outfit, it still offers smooth lines and a variety of vibrant colours to reflect your character.
Inside, there's much of the same, with a modern approach that's easy to get to grips with. Many of the components used reflect the spec you choose, with high quality materials being used to deliver the best of Italianness.
Interior, Technology, and Safety
More characterful than rivals, the 600 comes equipped with a variety of features that set it apart from the crowd. Technology such as rear parking sensors, a 10.3-inch infotainment system and Android Auto/Apple CarPlay come as standard, while there are additional upgrades in spec that allow you to craft the car your way.
Simple, yet innovative, each feature is designed to be easy to use while having a level of craftsmanship that's seldom seen on cars within this price bracket. If you want the ultimate Italian experience then technology such as massage seats are ready to make your life onboard more pleasant.
Each and every 600 comes with standard safety kit such as automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning to give you peace of mind. There are additional options such as blind-spot detection and adaptive cruise control with lane centering too, should you desire more assistance.
Engines and Performance
Unlike some others out there, the engine line-up of the Fiat 600 couldn't be more straightforward. All you have to do is choose whether you want a mild hybrid or all-electric setup, the rest is taken care of for you.
Mild hybrid variants offer a 99bhp petrol engine that's supported by an electric motor to enhance performance and fuel efficiency. All-electric variants offer a zero-emissions driving experience courtesy of a 152bhp electric motor that offers a driving range of up to 253 miles WLTP combined.
All 600 variants are automatic as standard and offer a driving experience that leans towards comfort and luxury. If you're after a sharper experience, the Abarth 600 is sure to appeal, offering everything great about the 600 and the added benefit of a punchier powertrain.
Charging
Those that choose the all-electric 600e variant, will be required to recharge the batteries either at home, work, or at a public charging station. The good news is that charge times are in-line with industry standards, ensuring you spend more time behind the wheel.
In most cases, home charging with a 7.4kW charger will take approximately 8 hours and 15 minutes, so it's best left for overnight charging. If you do need a top-up, you can expect approximately 24 miles of charge per hour. It is also possible to use a standard 3-pin wall plug, but this will take up to 26 hours for a full charge.
While out and about you can connect your car to one of the UK's many public charging points. Charge times will depend on which station you use, but finding a rapid charger can see your battery go from 10 to 80 percent in as little as 30 minutes.
