Fiat announced the launch of yet another new edition of the 500 in the British market, but this time it is one worth considering. The 2017 Fiat 500S comes with a range of new options and features that make its £12,950 starting price seem like real good value.
The first thing you notice about the new Fiat 500S is its sporty exterior featuring revised front and rear bumpers, special side skirts and a rear spoiler, and Satin Graphite door handles, tailgate, the 500 “moustache” grille, mirror caps and 15-inch alloy wheels. You also get chrome-finish tailpipe, black-grained front air intakes, and honeycomb grille as standard, but 16-inch matte black wheels are optional extra.
The list of standard equipment on Fiat 500S is very impressive and include items like seven-inch HD LIVE touchscreen Uconnect, adjustable and heated door mirrors, air con, start&stop, seven airbags, ABS with EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution), ESC (Electronic Stability Control) system with ASR (Anti Slip Regulation), Hill Holder and HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assistance). But there are also a number of options you cannot ignore, such as TomTom 3D navigation (£250), Beats by Dr Dre audio system (£300), and leather interior (£850).
Engine-wise, the 500S can be ordered with a wide range of powertrains, beginning with 1.2-litre 69hp petrol (£12,950), 85hp TwinAir (£14,250), TwinAir 105hp (£14,730), and 1.3 MultiJet II 95hp (£15,350).
