About the Fiat 500 1.2
▶
The Fiat 500 1.2 is a supermini powered by a naturally aspirated 1.2-litre petrol engine, positioned as an affordable, stylish city car. It appeals to urban drivers and first-time buyers seeking a compact, easy-to-park vehicle with retro charm inspired by the classic 1950s 500. The modern 500 (post-2007) combines nostalgic design with contemporary practicality, though the 1.2 engine prioritises economy and simplicity over performance.
