Stellantis has decided to breathe new life into Fiat showrooms, offering Americans a chance to experience the highly acclaimed small electric car – the Fiat 500e. While there are lingering questions about the car’s range, size, and price, Fiat remains confident that they have a hidden gem on their hands.
This week, I will be jetting off to sunny Miami after spring break to explore the Fiat 500e in what seems like its ideal environment – a trendy urban downtown setting with upscale stores and proximity to one of the best beaches in the U.S. The 500e caters to individuals looking for a stylish second car for quick trips to the shops, work, and more.
The Fiat 500e is truly a second car, as its 42kWh battery offers only 149 miles of range, not built for long-distance journeys. At a starting price of $34,095 (including destination), a Volvo EX30 can go nearly double the distance for a slightly higher price. Furthermore, Fiat’s pricing strategy pushes the 500e to almost $38,000, posing a challenge for the car to justify its price tag.
However, the Fiat 500e’s unique charm sets it apart from other vehicles in its category. Despite its limitations, the 500e retains the charm of the older gas-powered model while incorporating enhanced luxury features and refinement. While other cars may offer better mileage for a similar price, the Fiat 500e’s appeal may resonate with a specific group of buyers. The car has received positive reviews in countries where it is already available.
