On the date of 500’s birthday, FIAT celebrates the Brand’s successful journey in recent years with an overview: both of its present and its vision for a bright and exciting future. The event was also the occasion to introduce the enlarged 500e family: the New Fiat Topolino, 500’s little sister, and the New Fiat 600e, the big sister.
Olivier Francois, FIAT CEO and Stellantis CMO, said: “FIAT’s future is on track. In two years, we have made FIAT more profitable and more global than ever. FIAT has become the number 1 Stellantis brand by volume and leader in 3 major markets – Italy, Brazil and Turkey – in 3 different regions. FIAT has a clear role: a sharp focus on simplicity, lateral thinking, joyfulness, and social relevance. All this makes us more attractive for Stellantis: and a Brand worth investing in, in a big way. Thanks to Stellantis we have access to more resources, investments and synergies. So, FIAT is well and truly back. In the next 3 years our product plan will get FIAT back to where it belongs: a leader, a benchmark, a lovebrand. Today we are presenting the first fruits of this new era “powered by Stellantis”: the 500e family gets much bigger with a little sister, the Topolino, and a big sister, the new 600e. And I’m also proud to announce that FIAT has renewed its partnership with (RED), because we believe that being socially relevant means taking care of the planet, and also of its people.”
New Fiat Topolino: Urban mobility in Italian style

Simplicity is the key: the line-up consists of two bodies: the “closed” Topolino and the “open” Topolino Dolcevita, with one color, one wheel design, one interior, plus exciting customization options.
Topolino perfectly embodies the New Dolce Vita style and pure Italian beauty and for its introduction FIAT has collaborated with five iconic companies in the world of Made in Italy: Armani, Damiani, Maserati, San Lorenzo yachts and San Pellegrino.
