The current Fiat 500 is 142.1″ long, 64.2″ wide, on a 90.6″ wheelbase, weighing 2,456 lb. Since 2011 it has grown 2% in length and gained 4% in weight. At 11.8 feet it fits a standard garage and fits a street parking space.
Every Fiat 500 generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.
| Generation | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2011–2012 | 139.8″ | 64.2″ | 59.8″ | 90.6″ | 2,355 lb |
| 2013–2019 | 142.1″ | 64.2″ | 59.4″ | 90.6″ | 2,456 lb |
From 2011 to today the 500 gained 2.4″ of length (2%) and 101 lb of weight (4%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.
500 year by year
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 9 years on record. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are new platforms.
| Model year | Length | Width | Wheelbase | Curb weight | Body styles |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 142.1″ | 64.2″ | 90.6″ | 4 | |
| 2018 | 142.1″ | 64.2″ | 90.6″ | 4 | |
| 2017 | 142.1″ | 64.2″ | 90.6″ | 4 | |
| 2016 | 142.1″ | 64.2″ | 90.6″ | 4 | |
| 2015 | 142.1″ | 64.2″ | 90.6″ | 4 | |
| 2014 | 142.1″ | 64.2″ | 90.6″ | 4 | |
| 2013 | 142.1″ | 64.2″ | 90.6″ | 4 | |
| 2012 | 141.3″ | 64.2″ | 90.6″ | 3 | |
| 2011 | 139.8″ | 64.2″ | 90.6″ | 1 |
Will a 500 fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep; a street parking space is about 18. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 11.8 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 11.8 ft | Fits comfortably |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 5.3 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 48 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 64.2″ | 64.2″ | +0.0″ |
| Wheelbase | 90.6″ | 91.3″ | -0.7″ |
| Curb weight | 2,456 lb | 2,293 lb | 163 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. Lighter than typical for its size generally means better fuel economy and shorter stopping distances.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and a table of forty near-identical rows helps nobody. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation.
