FIAT 500
Hybrid 1.0 GSE petrol FWD manual
August 2023: The result of this car has been updated. Previously reported Ammonia (NH3) values were incorrect owing to a technical error with the equipment at the test laboratory and a correction has been applied.
The tested FIAT 500 is a compact car with a naturally aspirated 3-cylinder petrol engine. It uses quite a small hybrid battery with only 11 Ah capacity (at 12 V). The overall system manages to keep the consumption at around 5.2 l/100 km, close to the officially reported value. The vehicle could make use of more robust and efficient exhaust aftertreatment, especially for ammonia (NH3) and CO in high power demand phases, as well as for particle number. Here, a gasoline particle filter would help boost up the result. The total score of 5.2 represents an average performance and leaves potential for improvement. Overall, the vehicle is awarded 3 Green stars.
