Fiat is reverse-engineering the slow-selling 500e to take combustion power and replace the current 17-year-old model
Fiat confirms 500 Ibrida Hybrid will launch in late 2025 or early 2026. Model will be built in Italy alongside slow-selling electric 500e that’s being modified to take hybrid power. Current 17-year-old Panda-based 500 won’t meet EU cybersecurity regulations after this summer. Fiat ’s retro 500 really is embracing the old this time. The automaker has confirmed that it's turning its current all-electric 500e into a hybrid to help offset lackluster demand for the EV.
Fiat could have updated the elderly 500 to meet the new regs at huge expense, but instead its opted to adapt the far more sophisticated 500e and build the two models at its Mirafirori plant in Turin Italy. The 500e is already produced at Mirafiori, but sluggish demand for the EV means the factory is severely underutilized, so this new plan also sorts Fiat’s capacity problem. The current ICE-powered 500 is built in Tcyhy, Poland.
