Suspension Type: Tencent Auto Review of Fiat 500
The Fiat 500 has many "500" logos to indicate its identity, including on the 15-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels where the Fiat brand logo is not used but instead the "500" logo, showing the special status of this small car in the Fiat family. Indeed, for Fiat which had left the US market for many years, the 500 was their first model to return to the US market.
Design Score: 9 points
When mentioning Italian cars, I believe most people would think of supercars first. However, for Ferrari's parent company Fiat, it seems to be difficult to attract much attention in China. In Europe, however, Fiat has quite a few classic models, among which Nuova 500 and the subsequent 126P occupy an important position in Fiat's family history, as famous as the Beetle and 2CV, and can be called Italy's national car.
Despite its small size and lack of straight, hard lines in design, the Fiat 500 looks solid and full-bodied. The inclined A-pillar and C-pillar create an upward contracting effect, making the 500 look very reliable.
Pros: Classic appearance with personality, solid chassis, flexible handling.
Cons: Noise level is high, limited brand influence, relatively high price.
After MINI and others successfully revived, now the all-new Fiat 500 has arrived. This new little guy first inherits the genes of its predecessors in appearance, with a body length just over 3.5 meters, round and plump appearance combined with a cute front face expression, absolutely the focus on the road, at least in China it is so.
Tencent Auto Review of Fiat 500
Like many personalized small cars, the overall design of Fiat 500 is very retro, filled with nostalgia for the family classics. The chrome exterior rearview mirror shell, door handles, and front and rear anti-skid strips add some refinement and luxury to the 500.
Front Suspension: MacPherson strut independent suspension
