Fiat has announced it will lift the veils off the facelifted 500 city car on July 4, the day the original 500 launched in 1957 in Turin.



The automaker promises “a great surprise” for the millions of fans from all over the world during “an unforgettable event.”

The current-generation has remain largely unchanged since its launch in 2007, which means that the changes should be consistent.

While Fiat hasn’t released any information yet, a leaked presentation sheet revealed that the 2016MY 500 gets new front and rear bumpers, similar headlamps to the 500X with LED tech, revised LED taillights, a fresh assortment of colors, newly styled 15- and 16-inch wheels and a personalization option described as “Car Dressing”.

Inside, the facelifted Fiat 500 will get a revised dashboard, steering wheel, new upholstery, chrome trimmings and FCA’s U-Connect infotainment system, possibly with a new touchscreen. The refreshed model will also get new front brakes.
