Fiat unveils 600 Petrol with manual and 600 Street edition

Fiat introduces the 600 Petrol with a manual gearbox and limited 600 Street edition, expanding its B-SUV lineup alongside electric and hybrid versions.

FIAT has expanded the 600 lineup with a new petrol version paired with a manual transmission, bringing a more traditional and familiar configuration back into a range shaped by electrification.

The new Fiat 600 Petrol is equipped with a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo engine producing 100 hp and around 205 Nm of torque. It is paired with a six-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive. The powertrain incorporates solutions already used across Stellantis models, including a variable-geometry turbocharger, a high-pressure direct injection system up to 350 bar, and a timing chain. In comparable applications, this setup delivers 0–100 km/h acceleration in approximately 10–11 seconds and a top speed of around 180 km/h.

The introduction of this version shifts the balance within the lineup. The Fiat 600 was initially offered as the all-electric 600e and later as a hybrid, and now gains a conventional petrol configuration. This expands customer choice, particularly as hybrid models in Europe often show more stable demand compared to fully electric vehicles.

The car belongs to the B-SUV segment, one of the most competitive in Europe. With a length of about 4.17 metres, it sits between the compact Fiat 500 and larger crossovers, offering a 385-litre boot and a more versatile format for everyday use. The model is built on the CMP platform, shared with several Stellantis vehicles including the Jeep Avenger, Peugeot 2008 and Opel Mokka, and is produced in Tychy, Poland.

Alongside the petrol version, FIAT has introduced the limited 600 Street edition. It will be produced in 2,000 units and offered in a fixed configuration. The model stands out with a two-tone exterior, black accents on logos, grille and door handles, as well as 18-inch black alloy wheels. Inside, it features contrasting black-and-white seats, a black dashboard and a dark headliner.

The addition of the petrol version reflects Stellantis’ strategy of maintaining multiple powertrain options. In the case of the Fiat 600, this results in a multi-energy lineup that now includes electric, hybrid and traditional petrol variants designed for different usage scenarios.
