Fiat 600e (Electric)- This Will Divide Opinions!

[@alexjenkins1079]

I love Harry's "whoah" at 4:55 Yes, more buttons for things like climate control, please! I'm really fed up of so many manufacturers putting so many widely used functions on touchscreens or tactile feel "buttons" (looking at you ID3, ID4, etc.)

[@Jaw0lf]

Another Stellantis EV that needs it’s RRP at where it is selling at! More choice is always good though.

[@RedBatteryHead]

Skoda just got the Charger cable storage right. Under the top shelf! I really want to like this 600. And the Jeep, for that. Can't justify them prices Stellantis keeps asking for them offerings.

[@Brian-om2hh]

Exactly. Such an obvious and simple solution to the charger cable storage issue.

[@davidcolin6519]

I'd suggest that you check with your dealer. Depending on where you are, you might find that prices are MUCH cheaper than the MRP. That is because manufacturers HAVE TO sell a certain %age of EVs, and if they are below that number, the penalties are so big that they'll be doing almost anything to shift an EV. The MRP is so that different markets don't see what is happening in others, and that the companies don't get hit for anti-competetive pricing. I've heard of absolutely INSANE pricing on things like the e308, with in the regiobn of 10+K being knocked off at the dealers.

[@Sam-tx1tn]

Wouod be great to see reviews of some older EV’s to see how they’re holding up

[@Brian-om2hh]

There are plenty of KZbin videos on older EV's......

[@steve_787]

Didn't they do a 10 year review of the i3 a few months back? I might be thinking of another channel.

[@alibro7512]

As someone else commented, not everyone can afford a new car so a few more reviews of used cars showing how well they compare now would be great. I know you've done this in the past but not so much recently. I still think your reviews are much better than most due to the willingness to mention bad aspects of cars that most reviewers shy away from.

[@neilm9400]

I find the comparisons you give to other cars and which you would go with, is very very useful. It keeps the viewer aware of other cars in the price point and potential prices. How does finance work with a nearly new, and tax rebates ... And does it mean the customer gets hammered on the interest rate? Great value videos for the subscription. 🎉 🎉🎉

[@TonyOrc]

Nice on the outside, meaningless on the inside. I love the mocktail analogy!

[@Brian-om2hh]

That flap thing over the storage cubby in the centre console looks a bit pound shop.

[@ewadge]

I really appreciate the comparison with all the other cars which are in the segment/price point.

[@andrewdyson4255]

I surprisingly like the look of the car, but the rear leg room would be a deal breaker for me. If it makes EVs more affordable then good on them

[@e-redj]

All the space you are missing in that 2nd row can be found on the front overhang. Yes, a multi-energy plattform is always a compromise, but I think Stellantis has done a good job in reducing compromises.

[@StephenButlerOne]

This has everthing i dont look for in a car.

[@peteglass3496]

It's a shame Stellantis are stuck on this 50kWh battery across their entire range without that efficiency edge that the S.Koreans have managed, they really need to edge closer to 60kWh or better it - at least on selected models. My guess on a true 70mph highway test it wouldn't do that 3.9mi/kWh and you'd be short of the magic 200mi range.

[@toyotaprius79]

Aero is everything above 40mph Speaking of, the iconic goldilocks Hyundai Ioniq that was killed off in favour for the less practical and less aerodynamic Kona...

[@drfisheye]

The peugeot e-3008 is available with 73kwh and 98kwh batteries, so they do have other batteries in their range. Efficiency wise the Fiat 600 is on par with the Hyundai Kona and Kia EV3 according to the EV Database website.

[@davidcolin6519]

@@drfisheye Given the choice, I'm finding it really hard to think of a reason why anubody'd go with any of the Stelantis offerings when you consider the EV3 as an alternative. I wonder how long the Hyundai/KIA group will continue to sell multi-powertrain options like the Kona. With the Ioniq 3 on the launchpads, and likely to undercut the Kona in the same way that the EV3 undercuts the Niro e, I don't see them continuing with another generation.

[@petesplaneta9340]

Its problem is that there are so many other cars that do the job better. 200 miles of range with 100kw charging makes long journeys less convenient. With that range you stop when you have 40 miles left and then wait for ages (about 50 min) for the battery to fully charge, because of the limited range. If it’s wet then it’s worse. However faster charging encourages you to put some in and move on and extra range gives you more contingency. Either makes a car fine but neither requires planning. So just buy something better in the same segment. That Skoda Enroq wipes the floor with this!

[@JP-gi2pr]

This is heartbreaking. FIAT the maker of the super 128, 124 ...cars made in auto heaven. These are dreadful times.

[@gordonmackenzie4512]

I bought Renault Megane Etech Techno+ 3 weeks ago. I can’t see one single thing where the 600 is better.

[@hamshackleton]

I was thinking it looks like a Mini!

[@Koulis_]

Production of the 500 electric has been suspended due to low demand says Stellantis. I have a feeling that they are not making profit on these cars and even losing money on each sale; their production efficiency is not up to scratch. The 600 needs to sell in good numbers to allow for mass production but the prices are just too high, it may go the same way as the 500e.

[@carlarrowsmith]

2:50 B pillar being in the wrong place is a problem on a lot of Stellantis cars, the Corsa is even worse.

[@VipreNZ]

Would it kill them to remove the "Engine" from the start/stop button when their cars don't have one?

[@fidesvani]

It s the best car I ve ever had

[@oliverstemp9132]

Its got a nicer interior than the Corsa, i love the design of the 600 as well. Good with all types if engines.

[@richmaniow]

I guess manufacturers have decided that if you can afford a new petrol car costing £25k you can probably afford a new EV costing £30k..

[@nervousfrog101]

I'm not convinced it looks that unique. It reminds me of the new shape Niro, especially from the back.

[@David-bl1bt]

tbh, my first thought was that it looks like the original kia niro from the side....with a mini esk front and tail

[@rtfazeberdee3519]

Does that size make it more of a MPV rather than a SUV?

[@chrishart8548]

Probably actually a crossover. I mean a Honda jazz is an MPV apparently

[@jameskrell4392]

I wonder if Fiat are going to retro fit a petrol engine in this like they are with the 500?

[@gileshalliwell3591]

Yes, there is a mild hybrid version now…

[@oliverstemp9132]

Dont compare the top spec 600 to the cheapest version of its competitors

[@tubularap]

My opinion about those retro-cars = Every time the name of the original is used (e.g. "Fiat 500"), the original itself should be shown alongside the new 'mutant'. For size and style comparison. One can fit two original Fiat 500's in this bloated blob. The original can hold 4 people and is fun. The only fun this fake namestealer gives is that it has you two guys in it, but that makes any car Oké. For this new "compact SUV" Fiat should just find a new name.

[@duncanbuchanan218]

It does not look like any other EV. The interior is rational (aside from the plastic cover thingy) for a couple with occasional people or kids in the back. At the right price, in the right spec it would be a contender for me. BUT, the Fiat dealer is miles away. That does not matter until something goes wrong... I have been brave in the past with 3 Alfas, 2 good, 1 great but faulty... Lets see where we ar in 2 years, might be a nearly new buy for me...

[@StephenButlerOne]

I think the seats look too fat, they look more like armchairs. Probably very comfy but If they put better designed seats in. Hollow the back out of them, the rear would be opened up. For a car of its size, there is no excuse for the lack of rear space.

[@thomasjpuleo8112]

And who are you, Mario Andretti?

[@StephenButlerOne]

22k dosnt buy you naff all ATM. I have a nissan Micra sport as a loner earlier in the year, amazingly I found it a fun car, after driving larger autos for years. However I seen one at my local nissan dealer and it was £26k . 26k for a Micra 😢 Ford stopped the fiesta and they was 20k, in my head, a Ka is 5-8k, fiesta 8-15k and an focus 12-18. And the vauxhall tree mirrors that. But life has moved on for the late 90s, but my car financial campus hasn't. I've just ordered a Cupra Born, £39k. 40k for a focus sized car🫣

[@peterb2272]

[@mrdrgonzo]

These cars are mainly for families imo and that back is underwhelming to say the least.

[@toyotaprius79]

Not worthy of the 600 moniker, nor the 500X or whatever forgetful crossover that came before it. It's just another cynical crossover. A 500e Giardinia estate would be worth more of an effort (for both 500 and 600 buyers) or any more variation of that FCA architecture. Of course, when it's built alongside luxury Maseratis in Turin it hasn't have a hope.

[@eclecticcyclist]

Thank god my partner would divorce me if I got her this Fiat 600 .... The Kia EV3 will knocked this Fiat into a cocked hat. The MG4 remains the most unreliable BEV in UK.

[@mikadavies660]

Before I get into the video.... I bet it is overpriced! ALL Stellantis BEVs are stupidly over priced. Until they have sat in the showrooms for 6mths and get discounted to a realistic level.... Knew it £28,000... 👎 OK its cheaper than a Mini but it is at least £5,000 overpriced.

And your Fiat Sales Data as evidence?

[@Beyondact]

@@nigelrowe2204 Apparently comments with links get automatically blocked, I replied some hours ago with some. But there are Forbes and a few car magazines that show numbers variating from 65 to 75% depending on year on sales for FIAT 500 to women. Single or not is not in those numbers but since you can't really transport more than 2 adults at best and if you do it isn't super comfortable, also 2 person cars of that size there are cheaper and far better options. All sales pitches and material are aimed at the single woman or "the wife car" market.
