Fiat 600 (2024 onwards) | Expert Rating

Summary

The Fiat 600 is a compact SUV/crossover with similar exterior styling to its smaller 500 hatchback sibling which shares its foundations with the Jeep Avenger crossover. This is the petrol mild-hybrid version – we cover the all-electric 600e separately.

Like its electric twin that launched in the UK a year prior, British reviewers conclude that the Fiat 600 is stylish, competitively priced and offers a comfortable driving experience, but that it is ultimately hard to recommend.

“The 600e ticks the rational boxes”, says the Top Gear team, praising the crossover for its “comfy” driving experience and its good value-for-money, before ultimately concluding that the 600 “doesn’t really break the mould, and it’s not as good to drive as several other small SUVs.”

Carwow’s Darren Cassey adds that the Fiat is agile and well-suited for inner-city driving, and that the car’s performs “admirably” on a motorway cruise, but that “the light steering and lack of punch from the engines means there’s not much enjoyment to be had” and “alternatives are much more spacious.”

As of March 2026, the Fiat 600 holds a New Car Expert Rating of C, with a score of 60%. Beyond the car’s rather average set of review scores, this overall score is helped by the car’s low running cost estimations and hindered by average new car warranty coverage.

The Green NCAP programme measures exhaust pollution (which is zero for an electric car) and energy efficiency. Electric cars are much more energy-efficient than combustion cars, so the 600 is likely to score very highly in Green NCAP testing if and when it takes place. Check back again soon.

Running cost rating

The Fiat 600 is a relatively affordable car to own and run, according to whole-life cost numbers provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our data partner, Clear Vehicle Data.

The petrol mild-hybrid crossover delivers 58 mpg on average, which makes it quite fuel efficient when compared to its piers. The car’s insurance premiums are predicted to be in one of the cheapest brackets too, and the 600’s estimated servicing and maintenance costs over the first five years of ownership are affordable when compared to mainstream rivals.

Warranty rating

New car warranty information for the Fiat 600

Fiat’s new car warranty is fairly boilerplate, a duration is three years and with a limit of 100,000 miles being match and bested by similar rivals.

Warranty on a used Fiat 600

• If you are buying an ‘Approved Used’ Fiat 600 from an official Fiat dealership, you will get a minimum six- or 12-month warranty included.
• If you are buying a used Fiat 600 from an independent dealership, any warranty offered will vary and will probably be managed by a third-party warranty company.
• If you are buying a used Fiat 600 from a private seller, there are no warranty protections beyond any remaining portion of the original new car warranty.

If you’re looking to buy any used car that is approaching the end of its warranty period, a used car warranty is usually a worthwhile investment. Check out The Car Expert’s guide to the best used car warranty providers, which will probably be cheaper than a warranty sold by a dealer.

Recalls

Official DVSA safety recalls that have been issued for the Fiat 600

As of March 2026, we are not aware of any DVSA vehicle safety recalls affecting the Fiat 600. However, recall information is updated regularly, so this may have changed.
