Fiat 500e Review
The infamous small hatchback makes its second modern comeback, and this time round is all electric.
The legendary Fiat 500 boasts a history dating back to the 1950s, and was revitalised in the mid 2000s. And now, as a 100 per cent electric vehicle with zero emissions and bundles of personality, Fiat has cemented the 500’s future, too.
Read moreThe iconic retro looks of the little Fiat remain firmly in place with the 500 Electric model - which sits at the foot of the Fiat range, behind the larger 500X and Panda.
What’s different is that the traditional engine of old has been replaced with a battery and electric motor that combine to generate power of 118 hp.
Lease customers will enjoy a range of almost 200 miles while the battery is simple to recharge - using a dedicated home wall box you can replenish the energy up to 80% full in less than four hours. Make sure you get the most out of every charge by consulting our guide on picking your ideal charger.
Meanwhile there are two distinct variants of the 500e - a hatchback or ‘Cabrio’ soft top, the latter of which has an electrically-operated sliding fabric roof that allows drivers to feel the wind in their hair.
The entry-level ‘Icon’ models feature a 10.25 inch infotainment touchscreen with sat nav as well as 16 inch alloys and an eco-leather steering wheel.
You can also expect driver assistance and safety systems such as lane keep assist and advanced emergency braking as standard.
Range-topping La Prima models add extras such as larger alloys, an uprated sound system and wireless mobile charging.
The MINI Electric and the Volkswagen e-Up! are close rivals of the Fiat 500 Electric. The 500 Electric also makes sense as a company car, falling into a low Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax bracket.

Smooth process, James was there each step of the way
So pleased with the service from enquiry to delivery. Alex was so friendly and helpful as have been the rest of the team up to delivery. Delivery was great, on time and Lewis communicated throughout abd again was friendly and helpful. I'd definately recommend!
This was by far the best experience I've ever had getting a car. I can only put that down to dealing with Nicola Holmes she made it so stress free and was kept upto date every step of the way. I've personally recommended her since getting the car.
