Very recent press release from Fiat Chrysler in the US...wonder if this will apply to all regions or just the US?


April 07, 2014 - The 2015 Fiat 500 vehicle lineup, to be showcased at the 2014 New York International Auto Show, will include a number of interior enhancements for increased driver convenience and ease of use, including an advanced instrument panel with a 7-inch high-definition TFT (Thin Film Transistor) cluster
display.

Seven-inch HD TFT display helps drivers to easily monitor and configure vehicle information
Other interior updates for driver convenience include Bluetooth streaming audio and a revamped center console with an additional USB port
Three new exterior paint colors for 2015 are Giallo Moderna Perla (modern pearl yellow), Laser Blu (bright metallic blue) and Billet Argento (billet silver)

I think it has already been said the the UK\Europe 500 Cult and Abarth models will be getting the TFT display and the bluetooth\USB updates, not sure about the colours though.

Rumour has it the Abarth 500 UK will get a new metallic red, a grey/blue combination and a colour they are calling " Rally Beige". Personally I wouldn't have thought those two words go together. It's probably just New Age Cream

It seems to be an old "historical" Fiat colour, did a search for on the interwebs and found old scale model Uno's in that colour, is a bit "meh" though tbh!

Don't often see 'rally' and 'beige' in the same sentence...

LOL

A new blue and Cool Mint have appeared on the FIAT UK website on the configurator, and Idol Pink appears to have been discontinued (thank goodness).

The pink is an abomination.

The pink was fine actually

I like this

The wheels are nice too

FWIW ESP & Hill Holder are now standard on Lounge, S & the new Cult model with the 105hp.

Well that's me not buying a 500 ever again

I've not seen one yet but someone at work has one on order!

Wife didn't like it at all, I wouldn't have one myself but it sure did look different.

My Mum commented on how she liked the look of the Smooth Mint, think she saw it in an advert in the paper. Not sure myself. Like the new Electronica Blue for the S spec though, looks lovely. Shame Footloose Blue has gone as a result of the changes, but overall they've done a decent job of keeping it fresh

Just a shame they hadn't stuffed a bit more sound insulation in it to drown out the noise from our rough-as-hell roads. Was on a 100 mile round trip in our 2012 Lounge today - the engine copes brilliantly & the interior's nice & airy, but the road noise really grates when you're on a rough bit of tarmac, which seems to be most of the time in the UK

Yeah, Electronics Blue is lovely, saw it when we stopped off at the dealer last night on the way back from a restaurant. I'd like to see a few nicer colours, an orange would be good and a brighter yellow a bit more like Tropicalia wouldn't hurt.....

If you think the 500 range could do with more colours, you should take a look at the Panda range instead.

Apart from Sicilian Orange, it's dull, dull and duller still

The purple is nice in the Panda range
