The 500 can be equipped with an optional Dualogic transmission. This is a semiautomatic transmission that can shift by itself automatically or if the driver desires, be shifted manually without a clutch pedal.

It is a manual transmission equipped with a conventional clutch and an added automated controller used for shifting and operating the clutch.

The automatic mode of the Dualogic system offers two settings on the 1.2 version: Normal and Economy.

The Normal setting provides outstanding driving comfort, with brilliant acceleration and gear changes in all conditions. The Economy setting, on the other hand, is used to reduce fuel consumption, while still maintaining outstanding handling and comfort.

On the version for the 1.4 16v engine, the two settings are Normal and Sport (with the Sport button on the facia).

The Sport setting activates a faster gear change logic that minimizes the torque gap and thus makes the car more fun to drive.

The Fiat 500 with the 1.2 liter engine has a five speed manual transmission as standard equipment.

The Fiat 500 with the 1.4 liter 16V engine has a six speed manual transmission as standard equipment.

Both versions of the 500 can be optionally equipped with the Dualogic semi-automatic transmission. The Dualogic can shift by itself automatically or be shifted manually.
