Do you find the step back into the current 500 very inconvenient and do you therefore fear the new Fiat 500? Don’t worry, Fiat comes with a version of the 500 with a rear door. The new 500 version has now appeared for the first time!
A first image of what is most likely a Fiat 500 with an extra door is circulating on the internet. Indeed, one extra doorman. The Fiat 500 will get a variant where the brand adds a door on the passenger side, on the right side. A handle is not visible, which indicates that the rear door opens ‘incorrectly’. A so-called suicide by So.
According to previous rumors, the arrival of the extra door will lead to a weight increase of about 30 kilos compared to the regular new 500. It also seems that the 500 with extra door will be given the name Trepiùno. Trepiùno translates to something like ‘three plus one’, which would refer to the number of doors. Incidentally, Fiat already used the name Trepiùno in 2004 for a concept car with which it looked ahead to the first reborn 500. In time, the 500 range will be expanded with a Gardiniera variant, a small ‘station wagon’. However, nothing more has been heard about this for some time.
Mini Clubman
The 500 ‘Trepiùno’ is of course not the first car with two doors on one side and only a single copy on the other. The Hyundai Veloster is a striking example. Remarkable: Hyundai was kind enough to move the ‘extra’ door to the left side in right-hand drive markets. A solid investment to prepare a niche model for a select number of markets. The previous generation Mini Clubman is also an example of a model with an asymmetrical door partition. That car, just like the 500 in this picture, also had a small door that opened the other way around. Fiat is said to present the new variant of the 500 to the world very soon.
