2016 Fiat 500 (facelift) spotted testing in Turin - Spied

Will feature minor exterior and interior changes.

Fiat is currently working on a facelift for its classic, retro model - the Fiat 500. Although the classic design will remain intact, the facelift includes certain updates that will keep the 500 fresh in the competitive market.

The facelift will feature a revised front and rear bumper, LED headlights (first time for the 500) and new alloy wheel designs. The interior will also receive a facelift in the form of a better design, materials and equipments, say reports.

Changes include a new multifunction steering wheel, Fiat's Uconnect 5 touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, MP3 radio, Bluetooth, redesigned buttons for power windows and new HVAC controls, an earlier spyshot revealed.

Being simply a facelift, it may not feature an all new engine lineup. Expect Fiat to revise the current engines for better fuel economy and emissions.
