[Auto] Fiat 500 3 + 1 that is and is called the most versatile body of the Italian urban

[#Steeven.™]

The Fiat 500 is an institution in the automotive sector. Few models can boast of such a long and successful life story. If it were not for him, the FCA Group would be in trouble because the range of the Turinese firm would not dazzle the public. Yet the «Cinquino» is a magician when it comes to offering distinction and design alike. For this reason, it is not surprising that the Italian-American group decided to create a family around it.

We all know that the second installment of the 500 has gone to electricity. However, the initial plan has changed slightly, as they have now decided to launch a more versatile bodywork on the market. At first there was talk of a five-door to use, but an unexpected announcement confirmed that it would be another concept. And then the leak came and we knew that the Trepiuno could return. But no, it will finally be called the Fiat 500 3 + 1.

In the end it will not be called Trepiuno, it will be called Fiat 500 3 + 1

Thanks to our friends from Carropias we met the Fiat 500 3 + 1 for the first time. So good, so good, was the filtration, that the model used for the presentation is the same and of the same tone. With him it is clear how the design team of the firm has devised the fourth door located on the right rear side. And you may wonder, what is the point of offering a "door" that at first glance seems so narrow?

Simple: provide versatility and ease of use. Yes, because its opening, which is in the opposite direction to the march, allows a much easier access to the cabin. In addition, they have eliminated the "B" pillar so that the available space is increasing exponentially. Now, passengers can access the second row without contorting or we can anchor a child restraint without leaving our head and back.

The only but that could be put would have to do with the opening system. First you have to open the front and then release the rear. However, it is not worrying, since models like the Mazda MX-30 also use this solution. Finally, it is worth mentioning that its exterior dimensions or design elements that make up its new personality do not vary with respect to the rest of the versions available in the range.

 

Identical interior, identical mechanics and same technological level

Inside, the Fiat 500 3 + 1 undergoes few changes. The only one, and as we have mentioned before, has to do with the best access to the rear bench. Therefore, the lines that make up the dashboard, the materials and technological elements do not change. The equipment remains at a high level, with elements such as intelligent adaptive cruise control (iACC) and lane centering or intelligent speed assistant.

Regarding the mechanical supply, the FCA Group continues with its electricity commitment. That is, the Fiat 500 3 + 1 maintains the 86 kW powertrain associated with a lithium ion battery with 42 kWh of energy capacity. Therefore, the performance and homologated autonomy are the same as in the rest of the bodies. The same happens with its launch, releasing the "Premium" version and new customization options.
