This iconic car has sold over 2 million units since its debut in 2007, and the latest iteration, the New 500 (also referred to as 500e in some contexts), marks a significant evolution with its all-electric powertrain​.

The 2024 Fiat 500e features unique collaborations and editions, such as the (RED) Edition, which contributes to global health initiatives, and special one-off models created in partnership with Italian designers like Armani, Kartell, and Bulgari, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and sophistication​. These special editions highlight the 500e’s status as a fashion accessory and a statement piece, albeit not all models may be available in every market.

The New 500 offers two battery options: a 24kWh battery with a 94bhp motor and a 42kWh battery with a 118bhp motor. The larger battery model provides a significant range of up to 199 miles (WLTP), outperforming several competitors in the segment. It also supports rapid charging, with the capability to recharge from 20% to 80% in about 30 minutes with an 85kW charger, emphasizing its practicality for both city driving and longer journeys​.

Despite its electric propulsion, the New 500 retains the essence of the Fiat 500’s design, albeit with a modernized look that feels less «cartoony» than its predecessors. It offers both hatchback and cabriolet body styles and comes with a range of trim levels, including a special launch version, La Prima. The interior sees a significant upgrade with a comfortable driving position, a 10-inch touchscreen system, and modern amenities such as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The cabin materials include innovative touches like fabric made from recycled ocean-waste plastic​.

On the road, the New 500 is designed to deliver a fun driving experience. Its light steering and tight turning circle make it ideal for city driving, while the electric motor provides sharp acceleration, ensuring the car never feels underpowered, even during overtakes​.

In conclusion, the Fiat 500e (New 500) is a stylish, eco-friendly option that combines the iconic design of the Fiat 500 with the benefits of electric driving. Its range, charging capabilities, and interior upgrades make it a compelling choice for those looking to transition to an electric vehicle without sacrificing style or driving enjoyment.
