The new Fiat 500 has a third body variant, they call it 3 + 1

In the new edition, the stylus from Fiat appeared exclusively with electric drive and in two variants – with a fixed and folding roof. The third to the party is the 3 + 1 version, which refers to the number of doors.

It is an asymmetrical car, access to the rear row is facilitated by a small door on the passenger side. These can only be opened with the front door. Similar to the BMW i3.

To achieve this, the car lacks a B-pillar on one side. Fiat sees the meaning of the novelty not only thanks to better access for passengers to the rear seats, but also for easier handling of the child seat.

In addition, Fiat claims that this solution adds only 60 kilograms and has no significant effect on consumption, range or driving characteristics.
