Fiat said that the new family, which produces from 65 to 105hp, has 43% less CO2 emissions than an engine of similar performance. This new TwinAir 85 HP two-cylinder engine is expected to complement other solutions in the Fiat 500 that has reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Start&stop, a system which temporarily stops the engine and starts it again when the car is stationary with the engine idling, is featured on both the 500 and the 500C. It’s a system that cuts the urban cycle average consumption by up to 12%.
These models also feature eco:Drive, an innovative software that analyzes driving behavior and assists motorists in optimizing consumptions and emissions by using the USB port of the Blue&Me system.
Furthermore, Blue&Me – TomTom, the latest evolution of the Blue&Me system, will be featured on the Fiat 500 together with the new TwinAir engine.
Blue&Me – TomTom is a fully integrated infotainment system that presents the car owner with a practical color touch screen interface to manage telephone, navigation and useful driving information functions.
