The stylish and sophisticated Fiat 500 GQ is the result of a collaboration with GQ, the premier men’s magazine, owned by Condé Nast, which sets style and culture trends across the world.

Aimed at a predominately male audience, the new Fiat 500 GQ is dedicated to those customers who love the metropolitan lifestyle and are fans of sophisticated aesthetics and uncompromising style.
