Iconic car loved by UK drivers is reinvented as hybrid with 6-speed gearbox
- Fiat revealed pre-production models of its new 500 Hybrid with a 6-speed manual gearbox, starting production in Italy in November 2025.

- The hybrid 500 closely resembles the electric 500e but features a redesigned grille, updated interior, and a new hybrid engine with manual transmission.
- Fiat aims to produce over 100,000 hybrid units annually to maintain Mirafiori plant productivity, with CEO Olivier Francois stating it offers "accessible electrification and style."
- Despite enthusiasm for manual hybrids, Fiat has no plans to bring the 500 Hybrid to the U.S. Due to limited market demand and regulatory costs.
