2024 Fiat 500e adds special models for fans of rose gold and sweet tunes

The 2024 500e is nearly here, and before its grand launch, Fiat revealed a pair of special editions that’ll be joining the lineup toward the end of the year. TheyÂ’re called the “Inspired By Beauty” and “Inspired By Music” models. Starting with the 500e Inspired By Beauty (seen in the photo gallery at the top), itÂ’s painted in an exclusive Rose Gold color you wonÂ’t be able to get on any other 500e. The shade is rather stunning, so itÂ’s safe to say the name matches its actual appearance. This model also gets body-color mirror caps and chrome molding to differentiate it from other models. Inside the Inspired By Beauty, Fiat treats you to beige “eco-leather” seats and a contrasting black dash also wrapped in eco-leather.  The Inspired By Beauty model adds new driver assistance features that other versions of the 500e donÂ’t have, including adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist. Thankfully, the second special model Fiat released today also has the above driver assistance features, too. 2024 Fiat 500e Inspired By Music front 3/4 View 23 Photos This one (directly above) is called Inspired By Music, so listen up, audiophiles. This model gets a JBL premium sound system consisting of seven speakers, an amplifier and a subwoofer. It has four unique sound modes in the infotainment system including My Music Room, My Recording Studio, Giuseppe Verdi Opera House Pisa and Open-air Arena. Each have their unique characteristics and are meant to represent the sound experience you might have in each location. Appearance-wise, the Inspired By Music wears a shiny coat of Piano Black (yes, another intentional music reference) paint and the same beige eco-leather color combo as you see in the Inspired By Beauty model. Both of these special models have the same starting price of $37,595, including the $1,595 destination charge. Fiat says you can expect them to hit dealerships in the third quarter of 2024, but theyÂ’re both available for ordering today. Related video:

Fiat-Chrysler shows its SEMA lineup

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles already previewed its 2014 SEMA show lineup with some slick renders. Now, the automaker has finally showed us the actual cars, and among the group there are definitely some that stand out more than others.
Dodge is really showing off its muscle at this year's show with four concepts that all pump up the power of the brand's models. Perhaps most interesting among them is the Challenger T/A Concept (pictured above) in striking Sublime Green and matte black. It's meant to resemble the classic Trans Am racer from the '70s. Under the hood is a 6.4-liter V8, and to fit the vintage style there's a pistol-grip gearshift inside.
The Charger R/T also gets some attention with the Mopar concept that shows off what FCA's aftermarket performance arm can do. Mods include an updated body kit, cold-air intake for the 5.7-liter V8 and a coil-over suspension kit. Beyond that, the Dart R/T Concept looks a lot meaner with a black hood with duct work that leads straight to the air intake. The rest of the compact sedan is dolled up in O-So-Orange paint and is fitted with upgrades to improve handling like a coil-over suspension and big brake kit from the Mopar catalog.

2015 Fiat 500L Living [w/video]

Turning The World's Largest Fiat Into A Larger Three-Row MPV
We've explored every offering of the Fiat 500 family meant for the United States, plus all of the Abarth variations. But the 500 now also comes super-sized; we recently attended a drive of the larger 2014 Fiat 500L people-mover and its Trekking edition, and found them both to be generally enjoyable. We Americans, however, are suckers for anything that comes in an even bigger size than Large, so witness this Fiat 500L Living, which will be landing on our shores sometime in late 2014.
The essential benefit here is that this 500L is bigger (i.e. longer) by 8.3 inches, thereby adding cargo space and, to our eyes, filling out the natural profile of the slightly scrunched design of the standard 500L. You can maximize your 500L Living cargo space to 59.7 cubic feet by knocking down all the seats, or you can opt for the "+2" seating arrangement that sacrifices 3.5 cubic feet of volume for a tantalizing third row of chairs that seems to turn some consumers into dogs of Pavlov, no matter the degree of usefulness of said added row.
