As reported by Chrysler
Windsor, Ontario - Today at the 2010 Canadian International AutoShow, Chrysler Canada unveiled the Fiat 500. Showcased for the first time in Canada, this vehicle will provide Chrysler Canada with an expressive new entry into the small car segment.
"The Fiat 500 exemplifies the product strength that results from the combination of the Fiat and Chrysler alliance," said Reid Bigland, President and CEO of Chrysler Canada. "Chrysler's strength in the minivan, crossover, Jeep SUV and Ram truck segments, combined with Fiat's global leadership in small and compact vehicles, creates the perfect fit."
The Fiat 500 offers a unique balance of style, youthfulness, and fun, combined with the outstanding fuel efficiency Canadian consumers demand. Named European Car of the Year in 2008, the Fiat 500 will arrive in Chrysler Canada showrooms within a year.
The Canadian Fiat 500 will come equipped with an extremely fuel efficient 1.4-litre Fully Integrated Robotized Engine. This engine features four valves per cylinder and incorporates state-of-the-art technology for Fully Variable-valve Actuation (FVVA), also known as Multiair.
To tease the senses of the Canadian consumer, Chrysler Canada is displaying two European versions of the 500: a stylish white Fiat 500 model and a powerful black Abarth 500.
The Abarth brand has symbolized sportiness and great performance since 1949. The European version of the Abarth 500 on display delivers maximum speed of more than 200 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 8 seconds. Like the standard Fiat 500, the Abarth is also environmentally conscious and provides exceptional fuel economy.
