Yes there is indeed a 4-door one that has sneaked into the photo shoot.
Nowadays even so called small cars are bigger.

Ruth and I have been in France for the last 2 weeks. On our travels we visited GVR member Spotwobble (Andy) and his lovely wife Lusha at their new home in the Dordogne. There's talk of a small wireless museum in the room over their garage.
What's all this to do with cars? We travelled to/from France by train but for our travels we rented a car. I'd ordered a car described as Peugeot 308, Ford Focus or similar so was a bit surprised when I got to Avis in Amiens to be told I was getting a Fiat 500. It turned to be the version on steroids, something pretty close to a Focus or Golf in size. It was a deluxe model, leather seats, satnav, cruise control. Tous les cloches et siffles It worked well enough, looked ugly (in our eyes anyway) and wasn't very fuel efficient. At a rough calc it was only about 35mpg with most gentle driving on country roads. At one point I parked next to a small Fiat 500 (still bigger than the original). Could have almost put the small one in the boot!

You should have hired a 2CV Jeffrey and had some proper fun.
The 500x is big and shares the floorpan with the Jeep Renegade, some of the 500x engines are only 1.4 but produce 170 bhp, heavy car though for 1.4.

That mini should not get a parking ticket as it is not parked on the yellow line
