A total of 2.5 million Fiat 500s have now been produced at the Stellantis plant in Tychy, Poland. The record-breaking model, ordered by a customer from France, is a 500 Hybrid equipped with a 70hp mild-hybrid engine.
The Fiat 500 has broken the Polish factory’s record for total single-model vehicle production, ahead of the second-generation Fiat Panda (2,168,000 units) and the Fiat 126p (2,166,000).
Produced in Poland since 2007, the Fiat icon was met with great success in international markets, so much so that it has reached customers in over 100 countries around the world — almost 80% are sold outside Italy, making it the most international car produced by Fiat.
The main markets, besides Italy, are the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Japan. The Fiat 500 has even reached markets as far afield as the Cayman Islands, Curaçao, Saint Martin, Senegal and Ghana.
The Fiat 500 ended 2020 as the European leader in the city car segment with an impressive best-ever market share of 17.7%, having increased its share in the segment by 3%. Since the debut of the first generation in 1957, over 6.7 million 500 units have been sold worldwide.
