The end result is a vehicle that has the first-class dynamic overall performance in its magnificence, agile and amusing to pressure, snug, quiet and constantly related. As we made it, we checked out the convenience of use of a phone, to deliver the identical idea to the automobile industry. That changed into the place to begin for the New 500's era 'ecosystem', aimed toward helping clients withinside the numerous on-board and off-board methods they use a vehicle, and at making it easy-to-use and intuitive. The intention changed into to switch to the New 500 all the house automation structures that make our existence less difficult and greater enjoyable: from a Wi-Fi hotspot to the Alexa voice provider.

These connectivity offerings are typically reserved for better segments, however for the primary time Fiat makes them on hand on an A-phase vehicle, with capabilities evolved especially for the sector of electrical automobiles. For instance, 'Dynamic Range Mapping', to reveal at the map the volume of the place you may pressure to, the usage of calculations that bear in mind the most feasible distance primarily based totally on closing variety and different parameters denoting the performance of the automobile. Not handiest does the Fiat app imply you may view the charging factors placed nearby, it additionally presentations a photo indication at the map of these you may get to together along with your contemporary battery fee degree.

The New 500 actions as much as degree 2 self sustaining using
The New 500 is designed to be the suitable vehicle for city use. In its advent, we taken into consideration each factor of its interplay with the metropolis, beginning with protection, i.e. 360° protection. The 500 consequently consists of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), making it less difficult, safer, less difficult and greater amusing to pressure, in addition to being the primary vehicle in its phase prepared with degree 2 self sustaining using.
But FCA's engineers did not forestall there. Their goal changed into to humanize the era, through enforcing particular answers tailored for the five hundred: from superior motive force-help capabilities to manipulate the automobile longitudinally and laterally to sensors that come across whether or not the motive force has their palms at the guidance wheel. Risk degree tracking is consequently a whole lot greater accurate, that means we may want to make the automated warnings much less intrusive.

This using fashion, perfect for city use, way the automobile can get better a extremely good deal of its electricity.
The technological and social 'ecosystem' of the New 500
Creativity, splendor and substance on my own aren't sufficient for a paradigm shift. All of the automobile's surroundings, the manner the whole lot interacts, also are vital. The FCA group has consequently built across the New 500 venture a veritable machine of bodily and virtual offerings and answers to facilitate zero-emissions using to the finest volume feasible. This changed into the spirit that resulted withinside the advent of a community along the New 500, at the side of our amazing partners, to complement and simplify electric powered mobility, and to make it greater enjoyable. From the easyWallbox - the plug-and-play domestic charging answer evolved completely through ENGIE Eps, through the 'My Easy Charge' apps (evolved through Digital Solutions) so that you can discover a charging factor everywhere in Europe, to a unmarried card for charging and payment, legitimate for the duration of Europe at nearly 200,000 charging stations.

In partnership with ENGIE Eps and Terna, the biggest such plant withinside the international has these days been inaugurated at Mirafiori, permitting bidirectional interplay among FCA's complete-electric powered automobiles and the electricity grid. As nicely as recharging the automobiles, the venture will use their batteries to offer grid stabilization offerings, now withinside the pilot checking out segment. Once absolutely operational, it is going to be feasible to attach seven-hundred New 500 models, which - with the 12,000 sun panels at the roof of the plant - will bring about a discount in CO2 emissions of over 2,one hundred tons.
The New 500 has an entire different music to sing
In the sector's automobile panorama, AVAS structures are almost the identical in all automobiles: a mundane, nameless electric powered sound, while the New 500 has an entire different music to sing, stimulated through the maximum true Italian creativity.
A time of restart and restoration calls for a soundtrack to accompany the 'new normal'. The New 500 represents alternate in its very very own manner.
Hence the particular and authentic preference that has been made, the Acoustic Vehicle Alert System (AVAS). A sound alert to pedestrians is now required through regulation for electric powered cars at speeds of up to twenty km/h, which the New 500 - at over 20 km/h - transforms into 'music', the usage of the track composed through Nino Rota for Amarcord, a film that symbolized Italian way of life and nonchalance, similar to the five hundred does.
The New 500 and its fashion, substances and hues: splendor and soul
When designing the New 500, the Fiat Centro Stile targeted at the soul of the automobile: a product that need to be a assertion of the Italian spirit.
It is precisely that Italian creativity that marks out the fashion and layout of the New 500: an electric powered vehicle this is additionally beautiful, a actual innovation withinside the panorama of zero-emissions metropolis automobiles.
The New 500 is consequently the primary electric powered vehicle with a soul that embodies its complete lifespan, made from sixty three years of records and successes. All you want to do to determine all that out is study its the front: the designers conceived a noticeably modern, natural the front, to present it a effective identity. Since its debut in 1957, it is able to be stated that the 'smooth face' of the five hundred may be related to an 'electric powered' vehicle's, a real one-off withinside the automobile panorama. The silhouette additionally follows the play of references among the beyond and the destiny: all 3 generations of the five hundred are described through the identical imperative line, the feature in their proportions. It is a silhouette that stands proud in site visitors, that states its uniqueness, and that changed into modeled to be carried over to the 2020 version.
The 500 stays real to itself, but is challenge to renewal: the addition of the battery percent below the brand new ground presented up the possibility to create a vehicle with new dimensions, an evolution in step with its authentic proportions: the New 500 is a bit wider, longer, the wheelbase is broader or even the edges are larger, at the same time as the indoors boasts a roomier passenger compartment.
The chassis format is higher proportioned, ensuing in a belief of expanded balance and dimensional presence.
Overall, the arrival of the New 500 in its 3 variants - cabrio, hatchback and three+1 - conveys a greater effective and strong person, greater compact and stylish, with smooth, important traces and easy, meandering traces.
All its indoors areas had been redesigned to present passengers the sensation of a breath of sparkling air, as though they had been sitting on a 'romantic bench'. In the non-stop interplay among beyond and destiny, many references also are made right here to the bureaucracy utilized in of the primary 500, along with the slender, natural and stylish dashboard, partially right all the way down to the minimalist buttons, ordered like a piano keyboard; the now iconic round tool panel or the guidance wheel, which now has spokes as soon as once more.
In addition, the indoors area to be had has been prepared the usage of numerous modular garage compartments, to fulfill passengers' each want.
Compared to preceding versions, the New 500 is decidedly greater stylish and state-of-the-art, which includes withinside the preference of substances. With the five hundred of the ultimate decade coming nearer and in the direction of the worlds of indoors layout and fashion, on one hand we've used the New 500 to bolster this bond through the usage of greater delicate textiles with a pinstripe impact and mélange remedies. On the different, we emphasize a more potent bond with nature and nicely-being through the usage of heat and smooth sun sunglasses, with an detail of innovation to consult the electrical soul of the New 500, associated with the contemporary fundamental hobby in sustainability.
All this has been made feasible through a quest for green and recyclable substances, which has taken form withinside the utility to the seats of vegan leather-based and Seaqual, a fiber derived from recycled plastic partially accrued from the ocean, chrome alternative paints and mats manufactured from recycled fibers.
Another interest is the remedy of the New 500 dashboard: in addition to the bodywork paint, a styling now iconic of the five hundred, expressly to emphasise the idea of evolution and the extra refinement and care and interest to the interiors. The substances selected to upholster the dashboard are stimulated through herbal factors along with timber, with modern remedies which includes 3-dimensional and photo floor printing and weavework that recollect the idea of craftsmanship, each interpreted with a contemporary, commonly 500 flair.
In phrases of the colour palette, the New 500's shades are in most cases iridescent, to explicit feelings and to emphasise the foundation drawn from nature, the nuances on provide are paying homage to actual-international substances, to bolster the delicate, developed person of the New 500. As you may see from the colours decided on for the Opening Edition, 3 specific liveries ('Ocean Green', 'Mineral Gray' and 'Celestial Blue') stimulated through the essential factors of nature are actually to be had throughout the line-up. The different new hues are 'Earth Gray', at the start look a 'conventional' pearlescent bronze, understated and stylish, lit up while it interacts with mild through flecks of mild blue (similar to the 500e emblem), making it a contemporary, colourful and 'electric powered' colour; 'Glacier Blue', a ceramic, sensitive and airy hue, in which blue, inexperienced and mild grey meet in a dwelling colour that doesn't shout from the rooftops; 'Rose Gold', a fine-grain pearlescent colour, ensuing in a fluid, prestigious metal impact. And then comes 'Cloud Gray', a grey with a noticeably great grain. Combined with a matt finish, this selection outcomes in a decidedly cloth and formidable impact. There's additionally 'Ice White', the five hundred's conventional pastel white, easy, stylish and timeless. Finally, 'Onyx Black', a natural gloss black, minimum however striking.
