SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 5, 2025 – Turin is stepping firmly into a new era of Italian mobility as production of the new Fiat 500 Hybrid gets underway at the historic Mirafiori plant, paired with an ambitious redesign of the site’s iconic Office Building. Together, the two projects celebrate the city’s deep automotive roots while pointing clearly toward a more sustainable, people-focused future.
A new Fiat 500 Hybrid, born in Turin
Production of the Fiat 500 Hybrid started in mid-November at Mirafiori, with more than 6,000 units planned by the end of 2025 and first customer deliveries set for January 2026. Orders opened on November 21, and Italian drivers will be able to see the car up close during the first “Open Days” at dealerships across the country this coming weekend.
The 500 Hybrid represents a strong emotional reconnection between FIAT, Mirafiori and the city where the brand’s story began. It’s not just another model launch – it’s a nod to “popular Italy,” the everyday creativity and optimism that the 500 has symbolized for decades.
Olivier François, Fiat Brand CEO and Stellantis Head of Global Marketing, noted: “The 500 is much more than a car: it is a symbol of creativity, passion, and the Italian spirit. With the new 500 Hybrid, we want to offer a mobility that combines tradition and future, celebrating popular Italy and the unique bond between FIAT, Turin and Mirafiori. This model represents our vision of a car that is accessible, sustainable and can excite, just like its host city.”
An icon refreshed: versions, trims and the ‘Torino’ tribute
Built in the historic “Carrozzerie” plant at Mirafiori, the new Fiat 500 Hybrid is offered in three familiar body styles that fit easily into modern urban life: the classic Hatchback, the clever 3+1 with its extra side door, and the breezy Cabrio. Drivers can choose between three trim levels – POP, ICON and LA PRIMA – each offering its own mix of comfort, style and technology.
There’s also a special “TORINO” series, an exclusive edition that pays direct tribute to the city that has always been FIAT’s home. With its updated design, more comfortable cabin and smart onboard tech, the 500 Hybrid is designed to feel timeless on the outside while quietly modern underneath, carrying forward the spirit of accessible, joyful mobility.
Editorial Extra: 3 ways the new Fiat 500 Hybrid fits real life
- City-friendly by design. Compact dimensions, multiple body styles and a familiar 500 silhouette make it easy to park, easy to live with and instantly recognisable in any Italian street.
- Everyday comfort, not just nostalgia. Improved comfort and smarter technology mean the 500 Hybrid is built for daily commutes, quick errands and weekend escapes – not just Sunday drives.
- A feel-good choice. By blending FIAT’s heritage with a hybrid power concept and production at a historic plant, the car speaks to drivers who care about both style and the future of mobility.
Mirafiori’s Office Building becomes a ‘grEEn campus’ hub
The celebration in Turin wasn’t just about the car. On the same day, work officially began on the redevelopment of the Mirafiori Office Building – 86 years after it first opened. By 2027, thousands of people are expected to work there, reinforcing Turin’s central role for Stellantis and the wider automotive world.
Part of Stellantis’ European grEEn campus program, the project aims to transform workplaces in Turin, Poissy (France) and Rüsselsheim (Germany) into more sustainable, collaborative environments. At Mirafiori, the renovation covers 61,000 m² across five above-ground office floors and two basement levels. The iconic 200-meter Finale stone façade will be carefully enhanced, while 1,670 new windows will bring more light and comfort into the interior spaces.
The goal is a building with a positive annual energy balance, thanks to integrated photovoltaic panels and a smart centralized energy management system. High-level sustainability certifications, advanced energy efficiency and lower CO₂ emissions are all part of the blueprint, making the Office Building a model of “responsible innovation” that respects its past while embracing future challenges.
John Elkann, Stellantis Chairman, stated: “Today represents a new impetus for Turin and Mirafiori, symbolic locations in our history and our future. With the renovation of the Office Building and the launch of the new 500 Hybrid, we celebrate FIAT's ability to innovate while remaining faithful to its roots, to contribute to the sustainable development and growth of the city that gave rise to the Italian automobile.”
Antonio Filosa, Stellantis CEO, added: “The relaunch of Mirafiori and the production of the 500 Hybrid serve as concrete evidence of Stellantis' willingness to invest in Italy and its excellence. This project integrates innovation, sustainability and attention to people.”
For drivers and residents alike, the message is clear: Turin is not just preserving its automotive legacy; it’s actively writing the next chapter – with a hybrid city car made at Mirafiori and a reimagined office campus ready to host the next generation of talent.
