Fiat announces another limited edition 500

IT’S GETTING SO ALMOST every Fiat 500 on Australian roads is a special model or a limited edition of some sort.

Now Fiat Australia has announced the release of the Fiat 500 and 500C Collezione Fall/Winter Edition.

Limited to just 30 units locally, the Fiat 500 Collezione Fall/Winter Edition features two-tone Bordeaux and Grey Solid exterior paint finish with all around copper liner, paired with grey body colour dashboard with copper liner and striped seat inserts.

Hmmm … stripey seats

Available in both manual and dualogic transmission, the Fiat 500 Collezione Fall/Winter Edition comes with $2,900 (Fiat’s figures) of additional design elements extending from the Lounge specification base, including;

  • Two-tone Bordeaux and Grey Solid paint finish
  • All around copper liner
  • 16” design alloy wheels with copper finish and 16” wheel with black ring
  • Front fog lights
  • Chrome bonnet line and bumper inserts
  • Body colour mirror covers
  • Rear ‘Collezione’ badge
  • Grey soft top (for convertible models only)
  • Grey body colour dashboard with copper liner
  • Striped seat inserts
  • 500 logo and piping on seats
  • Floor mats with Bordeaux embroidered ‘Collezione’ logo
Smart two-tone colour scheme, neat copper-look wheels

“We’re excited to bring a confident, sophisticated variant to the iconic Fiat 500 product line-up with the launch of the designer-centric Collezione Fall/Winter Special Edition, aligning with the Fiat 500’s positioning of being one of the very few fashionable vehicles available in Australia” said Guillaume Drelon, Director, Brand & Product Strategy.

“Exuding a distinguished sense of style, the Fiat 500 Collezione Fall/Winter Edition is sure to turn heads, the moody colour palette adorned with pops of copper and offering substantial additional value to customers.”

And special badging, of course

Based on the Lounge variant, the Fiat 500 and 500C Collezione Fall/Winter Edition will feature a standard new generation seven-inch UConnect touchscreen system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, seven-inch TFT Instrument Cluster Display, rear parking sensors, cruise control and automatic climate control.
