What is the Fiat Barchetta?
The Fiat Barchetta is a compact, two-seat roadster with an open top and front-wheel drive. Its name means “little boat” in Italian, a fitting match for its rounded shape. Fiat’s Centro Stile designed the car, giving the range a distinct open-air sports car alongside its practical models.
Generations and engines
The Barchetta kept its two-seat roadster character through a later styling update, which refreshed details inside and out.
The UK VCA figures cover two petrol versions with a 1.7-litre engine. They do not specify power output.
Fuel consumption, CO₂ and markets
The UK VCA listing covers 2000–2004 and gives a lowest official consumption of 7.6 L/100 km on the NEDC test. The listing describes this as the lowest figure across petrol, diesel and hybrid versions, while the Barchetta itself is listed with petrol engines. No CO₂ figure is given.
The Barchetta was sold in the United Kingdom as a left-hand-drive car. Its low, open two-seat layout made it a compact roadster focused on the driving experience.
