Fiat plans to produce 5,000 units of new Fiat 500 Hybrid by 2025
Stellantis' Fiat plans to produce 5,000 units of the Fiat 500 Hybrid at its historic Mirafiori plant in Turin, Italy, by 2025, a significant step in the plant's revitalisation. The pre-production activity of the vehicle is already underway, adhering to Stellantis' strategic roadmap shared with the Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy in December last year. Production is scheduled to begin in November 2025. This initiative is poised to rejuvenate the Turin facility, with plans to boost Fiat 500 Hybrid production by an additional 100,000 units annually. The Fiat 500 Hybrid will be available in three configurations: the classic Hatchback, the 3+1 with a rear-hinged door, and the unique Cabrio convertible. The vehicle is powered by the Italian-made 1.0L FireFly mild-hybrid engine, coupled with a six-speed manual transmission. This 12V electrical system is designed to optimise fuel efficiency. The company said that the Fiat 500 Hybrid model is equipped with the Uconnect 5 system, with a 10.25in customisable touchscreen and a 7in digital display. It will offer full wireless compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for smartphone integration. Additionally, the Fiat 500 Hybrid features a suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) such as lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and traffic sign recognition. Stellantis global CMO and FIAT CEO Olivier François said: 'Bringing the 500 Hybrid back to Mirafiori is a promise kept—a win driven by a committed team that chose to bet on the customer and the future. 'This factory is more than just a production site; it's FIAT's home, the beating heart of a story that began in 1957 with Dante Giacosa and today stands as a hub of Stellantis innovation in Europe. Our industrial plan for Italy puts Mirafiori and the 500 at the centre of our revival.' This June, Stellantis launched a voluntary redundancy scheme targeting 610 workers at the Mirafiori plant, as part of a workforce adjustment strategy within its operations in the country.
