Fiat 600: orders open for more affordable hybrid version

As expected, several months after the electric version, Fiat opens orders for the hybrid version, which is much more affordable - 10,000 euros less expensive than with batteries.

The Fiat 600 Hybrid is therefore displayed from €24,900 with Red finish. That's a little less than its 2008 cousin, starting at €25,440, and a little more than the Jeep Avenger, starting at €24,300. But the difference is only a few hundred euros.

For this price, you get 3-cylinder 1.2 L 100 hp engineA 6-speed automatic gearbox coupled to a small 24 kW electric motor. This is a mild hybrid, also known as MHEV, which not only reduces CO2 emissions, but also offers a silent start. The 0 to 100 km/h time is announced as 10.9 sec, which isn't very fast, but it's not really what you'd expect from this model.

If the Red, the entry-level model, is priced at €24,900, Comfort (€26,400), Style (€26,400), Comfort and Style (€27,900) and La Prima (€29,900) offer more equipment such as 18″ alloy wheels, premium upholstery, heated and electric seats, 360° camera, etc.

By way of comparison, this Fiat 600 is more competitive than the previous 500X, whose price in 2022 started at €25,990, rising to €35,790 in top-of-the-range trim. Nevertheless, the engines were more powerful, available with the 1.0 L and 1.5 L Firefly in 120 hp and 130 hp respectively. And that's just it, a 136 hp version of the 1.2 L will complete the 600 hybrid range and will be available to order before summer 2024. It will certainly be a little more expensive, but also more powerful.
