The '''Fiat 126''' (Type 126) is a [[Rear-engine design|rear-engined]], small [[Economy car|economy]] or [[city car]], introduced in October 1972 at the [[Turin Auto Show]]<ref name="fiat126.co.uk"/> as a replacement for the [[Fiat 500]]. The majority of 126s were produced in [[Bielsko-Biała]] (Poland) as the '''[[Polski Fiat]] 126p''', where production continued until year 2000. In many markets Fiat stopped sales of the 126 in 1993 in favour of their new front-engined [[Fiat Cinquecento|Cinquecento]].
At a vehicle length of 3.05 metres, the Fiat 126 is almost exactly the same size as the original British [[Mini]], and although it came to market 14 years later, production ended in the same year (2000), and its total sales of almost 4.7 million units were in close range of the Mini's 5.4 million.
