FIAT, Abarth, and FIAT Professional are participating in the 101st edition of the Brussels Motor Show 2025 – the largest car exhibition in Belgium for car enthusiasts and professionals – running from 11 to 19 January 2025 and showcasing the latest product innovations.
Queen of the stand is the new Fiat Grande Panda, in the spotlight after its preview on 11 July during FIAT’s 125th anniversary celebrations in Turin. In addition, in conjunction with the motor show, orders for the new model will open in Belgium in electric version – continuing the order opening in France, the Netherlands, Germany, Portugal and Austria – and, first country, the hybrid version. The Grande Panda Hybrid will be equipped with a turbo 1.2 liter, 3 cylinder engine with a maximum power of 100 HP and a 48 volt-electric powertrain with eDCT transmission and it will be available in three trims Pop, Icon and La Prima.
Moreover, visitors will be able to admire the fascinating 500e Giorgio Armani, the result of the partnership between Giorgio Armani and FIAT. The two globally renowned Italian brands, that have already partnered in 2020 with the launch of a unique, 500e one-off, have once again joined forces to create the ultimate embodiment of Made in Italy design on four wheels.
Also on display will be the Pandina, the top of the range of the Panda with a hybrid engine equipped with the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), designed to assist the driver both in and out of the city.
The 600 Hybrid La Prima offers style, technology, and comfort to ensure an immersive Italian Dolce Vita experience. The secret of its performance lies in the synergy between the 3-cylinder 1.2-liter ICE engine that can deliver up to 100 hp, the 48-Volt Li-ion battery and the new 6-speed electric dual-clutch transmission which includes the 21-kW e-motor, inverter, and transmission central unit, providing the best optimization in terms of compaction and a smooth and real electric driving experience. Packed with state-of-the-art safety and assistance features, it brings all the associated benefits to urban and extra-urban mobility with Level 2 Assisted Driving.
And the Fiat Topolino, the quadricycle devoted to sustainable and accessible urban mobility, that thanks to its electric nature and its ultra-compact size (2.53 metres long) provides reduced carbon footprint and reduced sound footprint, respecting the sustainability of urban centres.
The spotlight is also on the Abarth 600e Scorpionissima and Abarth 500e, two fascinating models that perfectly embody the values of passion, innovation, and boldness that have distinguished the brand during its first 75 years, and that will certainly set the course for an even more exciting future. Notably, the limited-edition Abarth 600e Scorpionissima, displayed at the Brussels Motorshow 2025 in the exclusive Hypnotic Purple colour, is the most powerful Abarth ever with 280 HP and acceleration from 0 to 100 in 5.85 seconds.
This revolutionary model is the result of a challenging project that not only involved Abarth’s experts but also the expertise of Stellantis Motorsport engineers. Together, they developed a state-of-the-art sporty BEV platform: the Perfo eCMP where the technological transfer takes place giving birth to the new model. The strength of this powerful vehicle is also represented by the significant collaborations Abarth has forged to realize this project. Together with the racing experts Michelin, Sabelt, JTEKT Torsen, and Alcon, Abarth studied and tested under many conditions the most suitable solutions to obtain the perfect combination for the most powerful Abarth ever. The reason the new Abarth model is the most powerful ever lies in some essential elements inside the car. Among these “hidden” components, the beating heart of the vehicle is Abarth’s own 207 kW 280 HP e-motor, tested on the FORMULA E test bench with a real track simulator. In addition, to provide greater power, this monstrous car includes 345 Nm of torque and can reach a 200km/h limited maximum speed with a battery range of up to 334 Km WLTP combined cycle, according to tires equipment.
The fascinating Abarth 500e, exposed for the occasion in an exciting Acid Green, stands out for its eye-catching design and bold yet soft shapes, making it a unique and appealing vehicle. Thanks to its electric architecture, better weight distribution, excellent torque, and wider wheelbase, the New Abarth 500e is faster and more exhilarating in both urban and extra-urban driving, preserving Abarth’s fun essence. The first electric Abarth ever satisfies the performance needs of all customers, offering an irreverent, gritty yet bold style and a thrilling driving experience thanks also to the unique Sound Generator, designed to achieve the realistic Abarth sound that amazes enthusiasts all around the world.
Finally, on display is the Fiat Professional Ducato, positioned on the area dedicated to Stellantis Pro One the Group’s Business Unit dedicated to commercial vehicles. The vehicle on exhibit is an L2H2 van with a 140hp thermal engine and manual transmission to allow visitors to gaze at the highly successful model, in continuous production since 1981 and sold in over 80 countries worldwide.
The new Ducato retains its best-in-class cargo capacity of up to 17 m³ and a payload of up to 2 tons for the Diesel version, making it the top-selling vehicle in its segment. Finally, the Ducato offers superior cargo space efficiency, providing over 21 cm more capacity for the same external length – compared to its competitors – meaning less external footprint and more interior space for business. Even when carrying the heaviest loads, the Ducato ensures exceptional comfort, precision, and handling in all driving conditions.
The Ducato has also been named best base camper of the year sixteen times in a row according to the specialized magazine Promobil, affirming its 40-year-long leadership in the industry and undergoing constant improvements to keep its top-tier position.
