The 2024 Fiat 500e Is A Cute Little Italian Electric City Car

[@theredline]

Happy Friday everyone! This will be our last video from CES, thank you all so much for watching all the videos we show from Vegas! This was actually our first time seeing the new Fiat 500e in person and it really impressed us! We're hoping Fiat will eventually bring the just revealed new 500e Abarth to the US at some point as well. Looking forward to seeing the US spec version at the end of this year.

[@JDMSwervo2001]

Thanks for giving us a car to roast

[@directorjustin]

I sat in the previous generation 500E and loved it. The interior space is amazing for the size of the vehicle. The large doors make it easy to get in and out. I'm glad Fiat isn't giving up on the small EV in the US.

[@Jgjginkg244]

Just came back from France and saw this one on the road and it is super cute!! Great city driving EV!!

[@scottxiong5844]

When I was working at an internship, I drove the first generation of the Fiat 500e. I liked the size. I didn't like the winter range though. I really hope battery technology and overall vehicle efficiency has come a little further to improve the winter range on the Fiat 500e. We really need more small EVs in the US for commuting. I understand there are very few small EVs out there for commuting that I do not want to name. I think many Americans really don't want to or can't afford the current $30,000+ USD EVs. Overall, I am glad Stellantis is brave to bring back the Fiat 500e. Thank you for covering this and to bring awareness to small EVs.

[@MegaDante5]

I just read this little car is starting around 30000 k

[@brian0410]

I imagine this will be priced around what the current mini Cooper SE is at. Which is $30k ish. Still not bad though. I would consider this to drive too and from work which is 12 miles round trip.

Love this refresh (although Stellantis is stating it's a new model for 2024, we all know..). It makes sense that they are pushing the 500 towards an electric route this time around. Curious to see what else FCA has in store for FIAT USA!!!

[@shockthemonkey7046]

It is a new model - built from the ground up - height width and length is around 2inch bigger than the ICE 500 of which production for the European market will continue for the foreseeable future.

[@alfonsotatto8365]

It's a totally new model. New platform, chassis, and engine.

[@tctc2803]

I had the first 500e in 2013, that's really practical small car for city living. Like it alot, except the 85 miles range. Will certainly redo again if the range can be more reasonable. 😅

[@yanyanjay]

I honestly do miss my 500 very much. Although the car had lots of flaws… but I enjoyed driving it very much~

[@Natethegreat200c]

You must didn’t like it that much. All cars have flaws but it’s a cheap reliable very small car. Fiat owners normally don’t say their car has a lot of flaws, they normally associate that with personality which the fiat has in spades . I’m sure whatever flaws it has were due to the price of the car .

[@yanyanjay]

@@Natethegreat200c I agree all vehicles have flaws, and it's a cheap car, but not to the point like as cheap as Kia or whatever. And I believe you didn't have one, cause if you had one, you must had experienced their kind of unique flaws. The flaws that I'm talking about aren't the normal flaws that you were expected. Give you an example, the door handles broke, I mean the actual handle broke off when you open the door. You can Google this topic and see how many people needed to replace the handle for many times. Anyways~ God Bless!

[@glamrockretiredfan6829]

I am assuming it was the TwinAir Dualogic. Mine was brand new from the factory so I knew who drove it ... and it died after 3 years. That gearbox was not right for that engine and Fiat knew it. It was then discontinued and brought back about 4 years later ... a better gearbox, one that creeps forward.

[@dha588]

500 is completely different from a 500e.

[@tommac5411]

Agreed

[@Chockster612]

Very attractive little car. I think a great choice for Rideshares. One concern is the mileage range in colder climates but at the same time understanding it's a small vehicle so the battery pack is going to be smaller.

I want one as soon as possible to park next to my Abarth.

I own a 2016 Fiat 500e, it's a great city car and drives like a Mini. They've been in the US from 2013 - 2019 when they were disconnected. The range in 2024 model is double what the previous generation got. It was disappointing that you didn't compare the previous generation 500e to the updated 2024 generation.

[@Turtisland]

Believe it or not but a 2017 500e was my first car. I had a HUGE love hate relationship with the damn bugger. It was a terrible first car and had bad range, charging was a hassle with being a level 1-2 only. I honestly don’t think this 2024 will be good either, they need to get their battery range higher or else they’re going to flop again in the states. A smart decisions would’ve been to bring the hybrid 500 to the states.

[@babenkoff]

You are wrong. There are 2 batteries: 24 or 42 kWh. 32 kWh does not exist. And it can accept up to 85 kW of charging not 50. The screen behind the steering wheel is 7" not 8". It is better to learn about the car before filming.

I only wish the new electric Smart was coming to the U.S. (again, short-sighted Americans with no vision, but plenty of ignorance).

ignorant? This thing is not safe in USA with open roads and people driving 80-90 MPH (130ish KM per hour) on freeways. Maybe in a city where space is limited but Smart and Fiat will not sell me a coffin on wheels. My cars I have owned so you don't think I am just some truck drive-n redneck... 337 VW golf, Audi A3 hatchback, 350z, 370z, bmw Z4 current car . I would not even drive a Miata here ( too small to feel safe ). It is just the way it is here. It is not ignorance just reality. Just like your reality is small cars work there. But lets be honest...This thing does not look great. The Honda EV looks way better if I was there where you live and was in the market for a tiny small car.

@@Betazeno ….You’ll get CRUSHED in an accident in a Z4, or a 370Z way worse than my 2016 Smart Fortwo. (Which is much smaller, but infinitely safer).

[@Betazeno]

@@eddieg6436 You are being silly. The Smarts are built so rigid that the the driver will take all the shock in an accident. I have a friend who got into a minor accident in a Smart with his wife and they still have back and neck problems. Normal size cars have crumple zones but Smarts are too small for that so you will take the force of the blow. Like wearing a helmet and being smacked with a sledge hammer in the head. Good luck... Of course any car VS a semi or something heavy and huge will not end well. Z4 and 370Z are not very small. Probably almost 2 Smart for Twos long and wide and any extra room means extra safety. The Z4 is built way better than my 370Z was too.

[@fasdude38]

This is exactly what Canada needs and does not have--an entry level EV that looks like it will actually be AFFORDABLE. I don't need super crazy range, speed or gadgets like self-driving. Just give me a small practical little car to drive in town to work, pick up a few groceries, and make it back home (even in the winter) on a single charge without anxiety. A range of 150-200kms will do that no problem. The problem here is that all the EVs are over $40000 CAD for lower range EVs and $55000+ for EVs that get above 400kms per full charge--both out of range of + 75% of Canadians. (Forget $70K+ "entry level" Teslas) The "well off" are the only ones who can afford EVs and they get the benefit of the 8-15K government rebates (where offered). After 3 to 5 years when they go to sell their EVs or trade the car in for something new, those rebate savings don't get passed along to the poor schmuck like me that's just trying to get away from the ridiculously exorbitant gas prices. It's so unfair. Anyway, please make this available in Canada for less than $25K, and I guarantee these will sell like hotcakes. If you bring in lots--they WILL sell. (Canadians who want to go EV are fed up with being put on 1-3 year waiting lists too.)

Idk why they made it front axle powered, being that the car used to be originally RWD and the convenience of EV platforms, It would have given it a much larger storage capacity. PRND is also located in a strange location for an italian design. I'm hoping the safety figures have improved a lot as well. Do we know if this is just an ICE conversion platform or is it a dedicated EV deck battery?

Stellantis decided to build an all-new bespoke EV platform, but instead of making it RWD like the original 500 and putting a frunk (also like the original 500), they basically came out with a refreshed electrified version of the modern FWD ICE 500 which was based on the Fiat Panda architecture. Why even bother with a new architecture in the first place? The car even has loads of empty space in the back below the trunk where a spare tire would normally be.
