As per a Fiat bulletin to my work yesterday.........
Effective from Friday 15th November, the current range of Fiat 500 (Series 7) will be closed for factory ordering as we prepare the launch of series 8.
Full details of the new range line up, product availability, pricing and product strategy will be released early December. However we can already anticipate the following:
- Introduction of a brand new engine 1.0 70hp engine with Hybrid technology. - The 1.2 69hp Manual and the 0.9 85hp TwinAir will no longer be available. The only engines available will be the brand new mild-hybrid 1.0 70hp, whilst the 1.2 69hp Dualogic will continue to exist as per its current form. - The range to be in line with Series 7. - Improved levels of equipment to respond to customer feedback, align or exceed competition equipment levels and anticipate new regulations.
Should you have any outstanding customer sold orders, please make sure they are inserted in the system (or an existing order varied) by Friday 15th November.
Due to limited availability the production slots will be allocated on a first come, first served basis with priority given to customer sold orders. After the deadline please do not quote / sell a Fiat 500 Series 7 unless available in stock as you will no longer be able to place a factory order.
In order to facilitate the sellout of the available stock, the online Car Configurator will continue to show the current 500 Series 7 range until stock depletion.
