Fiat 500 wins City Car top place in Sunday Times top 100 Cars 2016​

The new Fiat 500 has got off to a smashing start in 2016 by winning the City Car category in the Sunday Times Top 100 Cars 2016 awards.

With 1,900 revisions last year the new Fiat 500 is better than ever with judges praising its charming looks, spirited driving characteristics and new technologies. Even Jeremy Clarkson took a liking to the car describing it as a “hoot” when he test drove it a few months ago.

The new Fiat 500 went on sale in the UK in September last year with a refreshed exterior, including new bumpers, front and rear light systems and new colour options. Cabin comfort was also improved along with a new Uconnect infotainment system with optional DAB and TomTom satellite Navigation. The engine range is more eco-friendly and efficient for 2016 and there are even more personalisation options thanks to a new range of expressive Second Skins.

However, the success didn’t stop there for Fiat, as the new Fiat 124 Spider was also named by the Sunday Times as one of the most eagerly awaited models of 2016.

Sebastiano Fedrigo, Head of Brand Fiat UK said that he was “delighted to kick off 2016 with a category win in the prestigious and influential Sunday Times Top 100 Cars” and that it was “wonderful” that the experts appreciated the enhancements that were made to the “iconic city car, which were introduced to keep the Fiat 500 ahead of the pack.”

The new Fiat 500 is currently available at Glyn Hopkin from only £63 per month, for more information on our current Fiat offers click here.
