Have Fiat stopped making the 500 petrol?
After the petrol Fiat 500 was discontinued and the fully electric Fiat 500e became the only option, Fiat has confirmed the 500 will return in 2026 with a new hybrid system. In a nutshell: The Fiat 500 is a neat city car, but it’s known for a few repeat trouble spots, especially gearbox/Dualogic automatic faults, plus power steering sensor failures and the occasional TwinAir oil leak. Electrical glitches and suspension knocks also crop up on older cars.
