The new Fiat 500 is the first model in the minicar segment to earnEuroNCAP’s top score for occupant protection. The independent car-testing organization gave the minicar a score of five stars. SuppliersRobert Bosch, Magneti Marelli and Autoliv played important roles in
the 500’s safety success. Germany’s Bosch supplies the car’s ABS andelectronic stability control systems. ESC is standard on 500 variantswith the 1.4-liter gasoline engine and optional other versions. MagnetiMarelli, of Italy, provides the car’s front suspension, which is equipped
with rails for the absorption of frontal crashes. This improves passivesafety. Sweden’s Autoliv supplies knee and passenger airbags.
