The models are based on the Fiat 500 Pop and the Fiat 500L Trekking, demonstrating the potential for personalization and self-expression with FIAT vehicles.
“As the FIAT brand continues to expand its presence in North America, we are always looking for opportunities to enhance the personality of our vehicles,” said Jason Stoicevich, Head of FIAT Brand for North America, Chrysler Group LLC. “Personalization and self-expression is part of who we are as a brand, and the Fiat 500 Ribelle and the Fiat 500L Urbana showcase that so well.”
At the Miami International Auto Show, the FIAT brand will also display the full lineup to highlight updates for the 2015 model year, including an advanced instrument panel with a 7-inch cluster display for the Fiat 500 line, and automatic transmission options for the high-performance Fiat 500 Abarth and the five-passenger Fiat 500L.
Fiat 500 Ribelle
The 2015 Fiat 500 Ribelle shows its rebellious nature with a Rosso (red) roof, spoiler and mirror caps, complemented by Nero Puro (Gloss Black) headlamp and tail lamp bezels and Nero-painted wheels with Rosso wheel caps. The Ribelle is available in four exterior paint colors: Bianco (white), Billet Argento (Billet Silver), Grigio (gray) and Nero Puro.
