Over the years the 500 range expanded to include the 500X and 500L models and has seen a variety of derivatives of the original 500. Continuing on this trend, Fiat has added two new variants to the range, the 500 Star and 500 Rockstar. Appealing to a younger market the Star and Rockstar which is based on the traditional Lounge and Sport trim levels receive some additions. On the interior, you will find a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system installed with the Uconnect interface on both variants as standard and allows for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-196895\" src=\"https:\/\/northglennews.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2020\/03\/190513_fiat_500-rockstar_10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"506\" \/><\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>Although the Fiat 500 has offered over 40 exterior colour options to its customers, the Star will see a new ceramic-look mica colour with pink tints added to set itself apart while the 500 Rockstar will come with a new matte green exterior colour option, each developed over 52 weeks. Sportier in nature, the 500 Rockstar sees the addition of a tailored pin-stripe suit inspired central band on the seat covers with eco-leather featuring at the top of the seat. Grey-blue materials are incorporated into the door panels with a variety of matching materials in the interior.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-196896\" src=\"https:\/\/northglennews.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2020\/03\/190612_fiat_500-rockstar_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>The 500 Star also see exclusive trim added with the option of either white sand and black theme or a new Matelass\u00e9 finish with details in eco-leather and an embroidered 500 logo. Both new derivatives are available in either hatchback or cabriolet body styles and each features unique 16-inch wheels. Under the bonnet, you will find Fiat&#8217;s TwinAir, turbocharged, two-cylinder 875cc motor which is capable of 62.5 kW and 145 N.m of torque.
