It’s an immersive, human-driven journey into the world of FIAT.Simple and easy to use, it pursues the idea of ’tech it easy’ and its technology makes it accessible to everyone.” said Olivier Francois, Global Stellantis CMO. – “In short, it is our way of tailoring and further simplifying the customer experience thanks to human interaction, and our society of meeting people’s current needs for a simplified life. For the first time ever, our customers will be assisted by humans to find and buy their new 500 La Prima by Bocelli from the comfort of their own home thanks to an instantly realistic and stress-free process. This unique experience will be extended to the entire New 500 lineup by the end of 2022. By the first semester of 2023, customers will be able to explore the various models in the Metaverse store.

The FIAT Metaverse Store was developed in collaboration with Touchcast and Microsoft, who designed the FIAT branded experience.
