Fiat 600 Hybrid Wins EcoCar’s 2025 'Best Mild Hybrid Compact SUV' Award

The Fiat 600 Hybrid has claimed the title of ‘Best Mild Hybrid Compact SUV’ in EcoCar Magazine’s Electrified Top 50 Awards 2025, praised for its cheerful character, urban practicality, and impressive fuel efficiency. This prestigious accolade reflects FIAT’s ongoing commitment to delivering innovative, accessible, and sustainable mobility solutions.

Available in both fully electric and hybrid powertrains, the Fiat 600 combines style, versatility, and cutting-edge technology—all wrapped in unmistakable Italian flair. It's a standout option for customers looking for a compact SUV that’s family-friendly, fuel-conscious, and fun to drive.

A Smart Step-Up for Growing Families

Launched as part of FIAT’s re-entry into the B-segment, the 600 Hybrid brings together the charm of the Fiat 500 with the space and utility of an SUV. As EcoCar editor Ian Robertson puts it:

“The Fiat 600 brings grown-up practicality to the brand’s iconic small-car ethos. It’s cheerful, efficient, and family-friendly… a great step-up for those who have outgrown their Fiat 500.”

With fuel economy of up to 58.9mpg (WLTP) and emissions as low as 109g/km CO2, the hybrid powertrain balances driving enjoyment with environmental responsibility. It's offered with two power outputs—100HP and 136HP—mated to a six-speed electrified dual-clutch automatic transmission (e-DCT6), providing strong acceleration and smooth shifting.

Intelligent Hybrid Power

The 48V mild-hybrid system features a compact 0.89kWh lithium-ion battery, a 1.2L three-cylinder turbocharged engine, and a permanent magnet electric motor integrated into the gearbox. This configuration enables short, low-speed electric-only driving—ideal for urban use—and delivers extra torque during acceleration, improving both performance and efficiency.

Drivers can expect:

• 0–62mph in 8.5 to 10.9 seconds (depending on output)

• Top speeds of up to 124mph

• Electric-only driving in stop-start conditions (up to 1km)

• Regenerative braking for energy recovery

Design Meets Tech and Safety

The Fiat 600 Hybrid doesn’t skimp on comfort or connectivity. Features include:

• Uconnect infotainment system with real-time navigation and voice commands

• Ambient lighting and massage seats for a premium in-cabin experience

• Level 2 driver assistance including Adaptive Cruise Control, Autonomous Emergency Braking, and Blind Spot Detection

Available in two trims—600 Hybrid and the upscale 600 Hybrid La Prima—buyers simply select their powertrain, trim level, and colour. With on-the-road pricing starting at £25,360, the hybrid delivers exceptional value. The fully electric Fiat 600e starts at £30,035.

The Fiat 600 Hybrid is more than just a compact SUV. It's a symbol of FIAT’s future-facing design, built with purpose, comfort, and performance in mind.
