History & Heritage

Fiat was founded in 1899 by Giovanni Agnelli, and is headquartered in Turin, Italy. Over the decades the brand has grown from its early roots into a name recognised by drivers around the world, shaped by its engineering choices, design language and the people who build and drive its cars.
