Fiat has launched the latest iteration of its hugely popular 500, with the Italian manufacturer claiming that the Street will add a new urban dimension to the existing range.
The new car is aimed at sports-minded customers who want all the style, economy and comfort of the popular Fiat 500 city car, but with a striking new look.
It comes equipped with dark tinted windows, alloy wheels and satin chrome finished mouldings, handles and door mirrors and is available in a choice of five colours: Bossanova White, Pasodoble Red, Crossover Black, Electroclash Grey or Matt Black.
The vehicle is powered by the economical 1.2-litre petrol, award-winning 0.9-litre TwinAir or the potent 1.3-litre MultiJet 2 diesel engine and has a number of features as standard, including air conditioning, sports seats, 16-inch alloy wheels, Blue&Me infotainment, leather steering wheel with radio controls and rear spoiler.
Elena Bernardelli, marketing director at Fiat Group Automobiles UK, said the Fiat 500 Street offers a "fresh approach" to the range.
"Its combination of bold, sporty looks with a high level of standard equipment will make it a serious consideration for any value-conscious buyer," she added.
