It seems that the rumored 5-door version of Fiat is getting flesh and blood 500. The new model will probably be called Ellezero and it is certainly of great interest.

As we have emphasized before, in Fiat's intentions is to invest directly in more compact models and the ideal platform for this is the commercially successful 500. The 5-door version of the mini model will have a slightly elongated body and elements reminiscent of both a crossover and an MPV, such as e.g. the increased body height. According to the information so far, the name of the new model will be Ellezero and it will be officially presented at the Geneva show in March. So, its well-known and very popular retro-modern aesthetic will not be affected 500. In the field of engines, as in the existing one 500, under the hood of the Italian model we will initially find the 2-cylinder turbocharged TwinAir 0,9 liters with 85 horsepower, but also a little later, its atmospheric version with 65 horsepower.

In terms of aesthetics, unique differentiation we will meet as it makes sense at the rear end of the car.

If we look for differences in the broader philosophy of this new 5-door model in relation to the logic of the new Panda, it is true that we will hardly find them. Nouns, this exuberant little 500 will offer a more practical alternative to today's 3-door 500 with the strong personality and special stylistic approach.

End, from the second image of the model leaked online (they are in no way official and we publish them with reservations), it seems that at least part of its production will take place at Fiat's facilities in neighboring Serbia.
