FactFiat renamed this car the 600 for one year in 2005, borrowing the badge of the model it was built to succeed decades earlier.
A front-engined, front-wheel-drive city car built by Fiat in Tychy, Poland, from 1997 to 2010, based on the Cinquecento and retaining its engines, chassis and general dimensions but gaining 90 mm in length, to 3,340 mm. Its name is the Italian word for 600, in honour of the original Fiat 600 of which it is the spiritual successor, and in 2005 the car was rebadged as the Fiat 600 to celebrate that model's 50th anniversary. At launch there were three trim levels: a basic S with black bumpers, the SX with colour-coded bumpers, electric windows, central locking and a sunroof, and the Sporting with the larger 1,108 cc FIRE engine, a 20 mm lower suspension, anti-roll bars, 13-inch alloys and sports seats, with an Abarth styling kit available. The old 899 cc pushrod engine was dropped from West European markets because of emissions rules and replaced by the multipoint-injected FIRE from 2001. By April 2004 1.1 million had been built, a battery-electric Seicento Elettra was made until 2005, and Euro NCAP awarded it only 1.5 stars.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.
