Discover Fiat's latest 500e models 'Inspired By Music' & 'Beauty' with unique features, Level 2 ADAS, and striking Rose Gold color, available Q3 2024.

FIAT has unveiled two exciting additions to their all-electric 500e lineup, blending Italian culture with cutting-edge technology. The new «Inspired By Beauty» and «Inspired By Music» models not only enrich the 500e range but also celebrate the essence of Italian heritage in unique ways. With these models, FIAT introduces an alluring blend of style, sound, and sustainability to the electric vehicle market.

This model draws inspiration from the elegant rose gold color, offering an exterior and interior design that epitomizes sophistication. With body-color mirror caps, chrome daylight opening moldings, and an interior adorned with beige eco-leather seats and a soft-touch steering wheel, the Inspired By Beauty model promises a luxurious experience. This model is designed to captivate with its style and comfort, priced at $36,000, including destination charges.

Paying homage to Italy’s rich musical heritage, the Inspired By Music model features a special collaboration with the renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli. Wrapped in Piano Black paint, this model boasts an exceptional JBL 7-speaker, amplified audio system with a subwoofer, offering an unparalleled acoustic experience. Unique to this model is the Virtual Venues feature, providing a virtual-reality audio experience that simulates different listening environments, from intimate music rooms to the grand Giuseppe Verdi Opera House in Pisa. This auditory masterpiece also starts at $36,000, including destination charges.

Both models mark a significant technological advancement by introducing Level 2 ADAS to the Fiat 500e in North America, making it the only EV in its segment with this feature. This system enhances safety and convenience by combining adaptive cruise control and Lane Keep Assist, assisting drivers on selected roads.

The 500e remains the lightest passenger battery electric vehicle (BEV) in the market, with an estimated range of 149 miles (240 kilometers), powered by a 42-KWh battery. It supports a Level 2 (11 kW) charge time of just over four hours. With an 85-kW fast charger system, a five-minute charge can add up to 31 miles of range, addressing common concerns about charging time and making daily use more convenient.

FIAT continues to intertwine the 500e with Italian culture, not only through its design and collaborations but also through innovative features like the acoustic vehicle alert system (AVAS) that plays «The Sound of 500», a melody that encapsulates the Italian spirit. These models are set to hit FIAT showrooms in North America in the third quarter of 2024, further cementing the Fiat 500e’s position as a vehicle that combines environmental consciousness with Italian luxury and innovation.
