The new Fiat 500 is also the first car to be launched with a full range of frugal, low emission engines that are not only Euro 4 compliant, but also meet emission limits which are expected to be set by the forthcoming Euro 5 standards - more than 2 years before the legislative dateline.

This and other attributes have already been recognised and rewarded with prestigious international awards, including Car of the Year 2008, which was bestowed by 58 specialist journalist from 22 European countries.
