Punchy little sports car
The 2020 Fiat 124 Spider is a revival of the original version from the 1960s and 1970s. Its turbo engine makes for a fun roadster where you can enjoy the wind in your hair. All 124 Spider models come with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine for 160 horsepower in Classica and Lusso models and 164 horsepower in the Abarth. The 2020 Fiat 124 Spider is great if you want a swift convertible operation and the sun-and-wind feel in an athletic car with comfortable seats. It’s great for agility and precision around curves.

5 reasons to buy the 2020 Fiat 124 Spider
1. Sharp handling
Brembo® brakes make for a reliable and stable braking performance, even during sudden stops. It features even tighter handling on the sportier Abarth version. If you want good responsiveness while you change direction and zip around other cars, you'll enjoy the 202 Fiat 124 Spider.
2. Fun six-speed manual experience
Look out for the standard six-speed manual transmission or available six-speed automatic transmission. Both make for a great driving experience but if you like the feeling of rowing your own gears, the manual is the way to go. If you're looking for a fun, sporty experience driving a convertible on a windy road, you'll be happy with this 2020 Fiat 124 Spider.
3. Fresh exterior styling
The 2020 Fiat 124 trims include leatherette and cloth as standard. The Urbana edition has leather and suede seats to further elevate the feel of this classic-looking roadster. Abarth models have side-stripe and hood-decal packages to be on the lookout for.
4. New interior looks
The 2020 Fiat 124 Spider has leatherette and cloth seat options depending on your preferences. The Lusso and Abarth models have heated seats and automatic climate control. The monochrome seats that match the console and interior door panels make for a sleek, sexy style.
5. Nice acceleration
Base models with manual transmission go from zero to 60 mph in 7.0 seconds for a nice little “get up and go” when you’re merging onto highways. You'll also get an EPA-estimated 30 mpg on the highway and 25 mpg in the city.
You'll appreciate that it's easy to put the top up and down relatively quickly, giving you more time to have fun out on the open road.Shop with your budget in mind
