No compromise when it comes to Fiat figures

The step up from a 500 makes all the difference in this roomy hybrid, writes Julie Marshall

- 

The Fiat 600 is a nice-looking car with a good selection of engines.

There's a fully-electric, battery version called the 600e and two hybrids, the 100 and the 136.

Bigger than a 500 and eminently more practical, it is a good compromise between a city car and a small family SUV.

When it was launched it marked Fiat's return to the B-segment.

It's not too dissimilar to the 500 and many of the parts are shared between the two ranges - and other Stellantis models-as you might expect.

Unlike the 500 there is room for four adults - five if they are happy to be squished in the back.

We report here on the 1.2 litre mild hybrid. There are two trim levels, this one and the more upmarket La Prima.
