Following the launch of the Panda Hybrid and 500 Hybrid in January 2020, Fiat now further expands its range of electrified models. The new 500X Hybrid and Tipo Hybrid join the brand’s hybridized family with a new mild-hybrid powertrain, promising to deliver up to 11 percent better fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions. Fiat also proudly explains this new tech requires “no complicated instruction booklets to be used to its full potential.”
Both the Panda Hybrid and 500 Hybrid feature a new 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with an output of 130 horsepower (95 kilowatts) and 177 pound-feet (240 Newton-meters) of torque. A 48-volt, 20-hp (15-kW) electric motor supports the combustion engine and works in tandem with a new seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox
