The Fiat 500 has just been named the Greenest Car for Women in Australia in the Women’s Car of the Awards, which were presented jointly by AutoChic, the web site dedicated to women car buyers, and BP Renewables, the division of the energy giant dedicated new energy solutions.

The Greenest Car for Women award was based on all areas of environmental concern, as well as emissions and fuel economy.

“Winning this award is a clear recognition that the Fiat 500 is much more than a cute face and a great car to drive,” says Andrei Zaitzev, General Manager for Fiat in Australia. “Under the 500’s skin is a car committed to the environment, with the best fuel economy of any car sold in Australia, a car that is 95 per cent recyclable, which is made from as few PVC and thermo-setting plastics as possible and it is part of range of cars that have been independently shown to have the lowest range wide CO2 emissions. This unique combination of style and driving pleasure, along with benchmark environmental performance and a price that is up to 50 per cent less than some other environmental cars, means that the Fiat 500 truly is a car that you can buy with your heart and your brain!”
