The 2019 Geneva Motor Show will see Fiat present its new 500 “120th” family. Available on 500, 500X and 500L, the new range celebrates Fiat’s 120th birthday, a milestone that very few car manufacturers around the world have reached. The Swiss event will also witness the début of the new Panda Connected by Wind and 5-Door Tipo Sport, the result of the cooperation between Fiat and Wind, one of Italy’s leading telecommunications provider.
Visitors to the show can become familiar with Fiat’s idea of connectivity across the range: something that is always simple, democratic, safe and intuitive. These are the cornerstones of the Fiat tradition: offering technological solutions that are innovative but user-friendly, and just as capable of meeting modern daily mobility requirements as they are of accommodating the increasing focus of society on safety and communication.
A lot has changed since 11 July 1899, when the “Società Anonima Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili – Torino” was established, but its perception of the car and the way in which it is experienced has remained unchanged.
The 500 “120th” family
Geneva will host the world preview of the new celebratory range: 500X “120th” 1.0 FireFly Turbo with 120hp, 500 “120th” 0.9 Twin Air with 85hp and 500L “120th” 1.3 Multijet with 95hp. All three vehicles sport a sophisticated two-colour Tuxedo livery (black and white), an all-new feature for 500X.
The Tuxedo livery is accessorised with an exclusive matching key cover, copper-coloured details and elegant interior upholstery. The family also bear a special Fiat logo, with celebratory “120th” wording combined with the well-known connectivity or streaming symbol.
The new 500 “120th” family offers Uconnect 7-inch HD LIVE touchscreen, which is Apple CarPlayTM ready and Android AutoTM compatible as standard. Apple CarPlay lets drivers control their iPhone® using the Uconnect touchscreen, enabling drivers access to Apple Maps, Apple Music, send and receive messages, make phone calls and more through Siri® or the 7-inch touchscreen. Android AutoTM integrates an Android phone with the Uconnect® touchscreen to make it easy for the user to benefit from full connectivity while safely keeping their hands on the wheel.
