There’s a saying amongcarjournalists – if a car isn’t fun to drive within legal limits, it can’t actually be considered “fun” at all. It’s a bold statement, but it’s exactly the reason why I love my littleFiat 500so much.
It practicallyhasto be fun under 70 miles per hour, because it takes 3-5 business days to get anywhere beyond that. But what it lacks in top speed, it more than makes up for with nimble cornering and pockets of swift acceleration.
Today, the brand has confirmed that the Fiat 500 as we know it is dead. So too are the Abarth 595 and Abarth 695 models. In a report fromAutocar, the brand confirmed that stocks will last dealers until the end of the year, when the current design will cease production – some 17 years after it went on sale.
It’s worth noting that only the petrol-powered variants are affected. Fiat’sbest EV– the Fiat 500e – will be unaffected. And while it hasn’t been officially confirmed, we’d expect that theAbarth 500eI tested earlier this year to remain available too.

But don’t think for one second this is a sad occasion. Because of course the brand isn’t just going to kill one of the most popular cars of the last decade! Instead, the model will return in early 2025 under a new guise.
The Fiat 500 Ibrida is – to all intents and purposes – the 500e, retrofitted with the nifty 1.0-litre hybrid engine from the outgoing 500 model. Whether or not you favour the new or old design will come down to preference, but that’s not all the brand are updating this time out.
