FIAT has opened UK orders for the FIAT 500 Hybrid, with production scheduled to begin later this month at its Mirafiori plant in Turin.
First customer deliveries to UK customers are expected from late summer.
FIAT has added to the 500 Hybrid with a reformed exterior design, a more refined interior and upgraded, user-friendly technology.
Alongside the fully electric 500e, 500 Hybrid will be offered in the UK in two body styles – hatchback and convertible – and with a choice of Icon or La Prima trims.
A Torino launch edition will also be available.

At the centre of the FIAT 500 Hybrid is a compact electrified powertrain, combining a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine producing 65 HP with a 12-volt lithium-ion battery and a six-speed manual transmission.
The system is designed to deliver an efficient performance tailored to everyday driving, to make electrification more accessible.
Icon is the entry point of the UK range and has a blend of technology, and comfort.
