First Look: 2026 Fiat 500 Hybrid Rolls Out of Turin – What to Expect!

Fiat is taking a big step forward with the first pre-production units of the all-new Fiat 500 Hybrid rolling out at its Mirafiori plant in Turin. This milestone signals that Fiat is right on schedule to start full production by the end of the year, aiming for November.

This is more than just another car launch. The Fiat 500 Hybrid is about keeping Italy’s automotive spirit alive while offering affordable electrification. Fiat is not only investing in its hometown roots, it is also making electrified driving accessible for a broader audience. For those who love Italian style and care about sustainability, this is a promising blend of both worlds.

According to Olivier Francois, Chief Executive Officer of Fiat and Global Chief Marketing Officer at Stellantis, the new 500 Hybrid reflects the brand’s mission of social relevance and iconic design. Mirafiori is being reenergized as a core production hub, while the Panda continues its journey from Pomigliano. These two models together represent Fiat’s strongest identity markers.

With over 70% of Fiat 500s produced at Mirafiori being exported, the hybrid version is ready to reassert its global influence as a “Made in Italy” favorite. These early builds are the first real glimpse into what will soon become a familiar sight across European streets and beyond.

Fiat is proudly anchoring this journey in Italy while reaching out to a world moving toward greener driving.
