Fiat car insurance

How much does a Fiat cost to insure?

When you think of a Fiat, you’ll probably think of the Fiat 500. And it’s no surprise that it’s one of the most popular models people get Fiat car insurance quotes for.

One of the most popular versions of the Fiat 500 is the Lounge. The Fiat 500L Lounge which costs around £543* a year to insure.

This popular hatchback isn’t one of the priciest Fiats available, which again probably adds to its popularity. The Lounge is no longer in manufacture but used models start at around £4,300.

If you want something with a little more pizazz, the Fiat 500 Pop might be more your flavour. It has the same engine as the 1.4 litre Lounge but with a different trim. It features 16-inch titanium semi-gloss wheels, bifunctional halogen projector headlights and power heated mirrors. The average insurance premium for the Fiat 500 Pop is £404*.

The car’s performance and engine power are just two factors when working out the car insurance quote for a Fiat.

But there are several more that could influence how much you pay for your Fiat car insurance. This includes your claims and convictions history, where you live and whether you use the car for business. Your occupation could also have a hand in whether your insurance costs are higher or lower than normal.

Fiat history and facts

Fiat Automobiles, originally Fabbrica Italiana Automolil Torino, was formed in 1899, when the Fiat 4 HP rolled off the production line. In recent times Fiat merged with Fiat Chrysler and has subsequently become part of the Stellantis group.

Throughout the later part of the 20th Century, and at least up to the late 1980s, Fiat was the third largest automobile manufacturer in the world behind General Motors and Ford. A deepening crisis in the motor trade as the millennium drew near saw the Italian firm withdraw from some markets, but it remains in the top ten worldwide car makers.

The Fiat has been around for years, but still surprises with its style and verve. In fact, the Fiat 500 was named Auto Express City Car of the Year 2021, along with the Hyundai 110 and Volkswagen up!

What's next for Fiat?

With Fiat moving into the electric car space, ahead of the proposed ban on new petrol and diesel cars from 2030, these are exciting times for the manufacturer. Aside from the 500 series, Fiat has also introduced the Concept Centroventi, which it describes as a blank canvas.

This electric vehicle got its name in recognition of the company’s 120-year anniversary in 2019. Its compact look and customisable styling – with a multitude of colour options for roof, bumper, wheels and bodywork – is intended to standout.

The Concept Centroventi pre-empted the 2021 40th anniversary edition of the Fiat Panda. This is a 4x4 with a 0.9 litre 85 horsepower engine and joins the 1.0 litre 70 bhp hybrid, which launched in 2020.
