New 500 Family Hey Google: 500 Style Meets Google Technology

Fiat and Google come together in an exclusive collaboration, known as 500 Hey Google. It is the new special series of the New 500 Family, where Google Assistant technology meets the 500 and its world of coolness, design and iconic style for the first time ever. This has resulted in the creation of the special series that, thanks to the integration of Mopar_® Connect services with Google Assistant in the “My Fiat” Action, enables customers to connect to their car even when they are away from it. Using their own voice, the owner can request and receive information on the car and to interact with it. They can do so via their smartphone or the Google Nest Hub, the smart display bundled with the Welcome Kit received when purchasing a car from 500 Family Hey Google, for user-friendly and innovative connectivity that can make what we do every day even easier.

One of the secrets of the Fiat 500’s success is that it remains always relevant. And now once again, the Hey Google special series offers a smart, user-friendly, intuitive solution, as democratic and inclusive as it always has been, as well as designed to make everyday life easier. The Hey Google special series takes one step further in the interaction with your car when you are not at the wheel. Wherever you are, even from your sofa at home, all it takes is to say “Hey Google, ask My Fiat…” to find out, for example, where your car is parked, how much fuel is left, the location of the nearest authorized workshop or your mileage that day. You can also find out whether you have locked your car doors or have left the boot open.

In its interaction with Fiat’s Mopar_® Connect included in the New 500 Family Hey Google, the Google Assistant not only provides all the information you need on the services to keep your vehicle status under control, find your car’s location and monitor the mileage driven – a service also useful for fleet managers, it can also send commands such as locking and unlocking the doors or blinking the emergency lights.

With the My Fiat Action, staying connected to your car has never been so easy: it can always be controlled with your voice on your smartphone or on Google Nest smart speakers and displays.

With the My Fiat Action you can also activate notifications to be sent to your smartphone if the car leaves a preset area, or even if the car is driven at a higher speed than the preset limit.

The style of the 500 Family Hey Google

In a consideration of the 500, style always comes first. For the Hey Google special series, the stylistic languages of 500 and Google come together, to create a cool livery, a play on two colors as essential as the White and Gloss Black of the roof and mirror caps. A tribute to the blank page of the search engine, where  for the first time ever in the automotive landscape, we find the Hey Google badge, placed on the wheel arches of every model in the New 500 Family. Both central pillars are also embellished with elements inspired by the Google colors. Inside the passenger compartment, the same motif continues on the new seats, with a label embroidered with “Hey Google”, while the dashboard fascia is presented in matt silver with a white 500 logo. The Hey Google signature also features on the welcome screen of the 7” touchscreen display: an animation featuring the characteristic “molecule” , which then moves onto the Google “G” and eventually transforms into the Fiat logo.
With all the components of this special series designed to make the technology in your new car even easier to use, we had to include a Welcome Kit, bundled with the purchase. The bag with the Hey Google logo contains the Nest Hub device, customized with a 500-specific adhesive skin and a key cover, along with a welcome letter detailing the four easy steps to complete the setup and start interacting with your car.

Young and cool: one souls, three versions

With sales of 3.5 million units since 2007, the 500 family is not a newcomer to keeping pace with technology. Although they share the same DNA – that perfect mix of iconic design, freshness and coolness, making up the all-Italian secret of the success of the 500, the three models target different kinds of customers: the 500 has been Fiat’s icon since 1957, the city car par excellence that in 2020 – the year the full-electric New 500 was launched, 13 years after its first appearance – racked up another record market share of 17.7% in Europe. The 500L is the family mover, while the 500X is the Italian crossover. Together, they have demonstrated their ability to respond to customers’ many needs, partly thanks to the special series made in collaboration with major brands. Taking shared values as a starting point and remaining true to the 500, they explore a wide range of fields, from fashion, design and luxury to music and the latest incursions into the world of technology. In 2018, the Mirror special series was launched, aimed at an audience always attentive to technology. For Fiat’s 120^th anniversary in 2019, the new connected and elegant “120^th” 500 Family was unveiled.
To follow up on the resounding success of the last two special series, over 50,000 units of which have been sold, and to meet new mobility needs, Fiat has continued its journey through innovation by launching the more high-tech and connected New 500 Family line-up onto the market in early 2021.
