Comments

The FIAT 500 performs moderately in the standard test drives and increases its performance slightly during the additional robustness testing. The biggest challenge overall are particulates – the vehicle is not equipped with a gasoline particulate filter and the emissions are close to the upper limit. The exceedance of CO, NH3 and particle emission thresholds sets the score of the Highway Test to zero. The small FIAT scores the maximum points for clean air during the Congestion simulation, as NOx emission remain close to zero.

Comments

The FIAT 500 is a compact and light vehicle with a 3-cylinder engine. It scores above average in all tests for energy efficiency, even in the -7°C Cold Ambient lab test. This mild-hybrid uses less than 5 litres of petrol for 100 km during both the Cold and the Warm Laboratory Tests. The standard real world test resulted in 5.1 l/100 km, whereas the aggressive On-Road Heavy Load Test pushed the consumption to above 6.2 litres. The best case is found in the On-Road Light Load Test – 4.6 l/100 km.

Comments

The Greenhouse Gas Index is based on a Well-to-Wheel+ approach, meaning that the greenhouse gas emissions related to the supply of the energy are added to the tailpipe emissions. The test vehicle emits about 110 g CO2/km in the Cold and Warm Laboratory WLTC+ Tests and 130 g CO2/km in the BAB130 highway and in the Cold Ambient Tests. With upstream greenhouse gas emissions of approx. 30 g CO2‑eq./km on top, that leads to moderate but creditable results for a petrol vehicle. The emissions of N2O and CH4 are barely measurable and grant the vehicle bonus points for robust control.

Our verdict

August 2023: The result of this car been updated. Previously reported Ammonia (NH3) values were incorrect owing to a technical error with the equipment at the test laboratory and a correction has been applied.
The tested FIAT 500 is a compact car with a naturally aspirated 3-cylinder petrol engine. It uses quite a small hybrid battery with only 11 Ah capacity (at 12 V). The overall system manages to keep the consumption at around 5.2 l/100 km, close to the officially reported value. The vehicle could make use of more robust and efficient exhaust aftertreatment, especially for ammonia (NH3) and CO in high power demand phases, as well as for particle number. Here, a gasoline particle filter would help boost up the result. The total score of 5.2 represents an average performance and leaves potential for improvement. Overall, the vehicle is awarded 3 Green stars.
