Fiat 500 2017

With more fantastic sedans to choose from than ever, it can be hard to decide which one is best for you and your family. At the top of that list are the Fiat 500 and the Hyundai Golf, two industry leaders in design, automotive technology, and vehicle safety. There’s no bad choice here, which is a great problem to have, but if you’re having trouble picking your next new car, or just want to do some extra research, don’t worry: we’re here to help.

As you can see from the specifications compared on this page, it would be difficult to choose based on numbers alone. The price difference at most trim levels is negligible, as is gas mileage and under-the-hood power. Instead of focusing on numbers, you may want to take a look at the more subjective differences between the two to help determine just what it is you look for in a car.

Design

Both vehicles feature sleek, modern designs that stand out on any road. While the Golf has a rounded, subdued look, the Fiat 500 takes things to a bolder level with strong hood lines and a sport mesh front grille that make it as stylish as it is comfortable.

Technology

No matter where you’re driving, both the Fiat 500 and the Golf will make sure you stay connected from the moment you turn on your car in the morning until you pull back into your driveway at night. Select trims of the 2017 Fiat 500 feature Remote Keyless Entry, Alpine® Premium Audio System, Uconnect® 5-Inch Touchscreen and 7-Inch Driver Information Cluster Display. Meanwhile, all trims on the 2017 Golf feature App-Connect, keyless access with push-button start, Bluetooth® technology, and SiriusXM.

Vehicle Safety

Both the Fiat 500 and Golf feature top of the line proactive and reactive safety features to help you reach your destination without incident. The Fiat 500 has ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System, seven airbags, Electronic Stability Control, and a 48 month/50,000 mile warranty. The Golf, on the other hand, has ten airbags, and features similar optional safety systems to the Golf with its own lane departure and pre-collision alert systems. All Golf trims come standard with Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS), rigid safety cage, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and Automatic Post-Collision Braking System.

Still not sure?

These are just some of the differences between the 2017 Volkswagen Golf and the 2017 Fiat 500. While these comparisons may have helped your decision, the only way to be sure is to get behind the wheel and see which one feels right for you. Be sure to stop in and test drive a 2017 Fiat 500 at 10400 Auto Park Ave in Bethesda, Maryland before you pick. You’ll be glad you did.
