As the high-end option in the FIAT lineup, the 500 Lounge benefits from zippiness, style and size. With three option levels, the Lounge boasts 15-inch alloy wheels, foglamps, fixed glass roof, exterior chrome accents and upgraded cloth upholstery. You won't get the most powerful drive on the road, but the FIAT 500 Lounge certainly benefits from its quiet driving nature and gives drivers the option of a five-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic, the latter coming standard with the Lounge.
A small car does not require a big engine. The 500 Lounge features a 1.4-liter four-cylinder that puts out 101 horsepower and 98 pound-feet of torque, small numbers to be sure, but smaller numbers means greater efficiency. In fact, it gets an average 30 mpg in city driving and 38 mpg on the highway. It's available at Fields FIAT of Highland Park. Visit our website to learn how to buy.
Americans tend to associate small cars with lax safety, but the FIAT 500 Lounge proves that this isn't the case. In terms of accident avoidance, the Lounge comes equipped with stability and traction control, as well as antilock disc brakes. Because it doesn't reach breakneck speeds, the FIAT comes to a stop quickly: from 60 mph in just 119 feet. To protect in the case of an accident, you get a driver knee airbag, front side airbags and side curtain airbags. The crumple zone in the front of the car makes you much safer in the case of an accident.It's hard to ignore the sexy styling of the FIAT 500 Lounge. It's a breath of fresh air on an American market where major auto brands don't often dare to be different. City drivers love the FIAT's size, giving them the ability to grab small parking spaces, make tight turns and handle better than many of the cars on the road.
