Charm and personality can get you pretty far, but eventually shoppers will need legitimate capabilities and sensibilities. While the Fiat 500e is adorably petite, it lacks the range and space that similarly priced EVs deliver, and it's also well behind the curve in regard to technology. It may be a perfect fit as a city-centric fashion accessory, but not much else.Read full review

Overview

by the Edmunds Experts

3/18/2025

The Fiat 500e is a tiny all-electric hatchback and the only model sold in the U.S. by the storied Italian carmaker. It's a dead ringer for the last Fiat 500 that was discontinued in 2019, though it was redesigned just last year. Both are heavily inspired by the original Cinquecento from the 1950s, with an abundance of charm packed into a small vehicle. Like its predecessors, the current 500e is more at home buzzing around city streets, offering just enough practicality and convenience for the daily commute.

Edmunds spotlight: Inimitable Italian charm

There's no doubt the Fiat 500 rode on the retro-chic coattails laid down by the Mini Cooper and VW Beetle over two decades ago. It's difficult to see one without feeling a little joy, and its minuscule footprint is the automotive embodiment of "cute." The 500e is also appropriately fun to drive and a cinch to squeeze into a tight parking spot. With the debut of a special-edition model from the House of Armani, this little Fiat doubles down on the lovefest, then goes all in by having Andrea Bocelli tune the audio system. If it were any more Italian, you'd need a passport to drive one and it would come preloaded with Duolingo.

Competitors to consider

The most direct rival to the Fiat 500e was the Mini Cooper SE Hardtop 2 Door, but unfortunately, it's been put on hiatus for at least a year. That leaves more conventional small EVs to take up the slack. The Nissan Leaf and Hyundai Ioniq 6 are priced similarly yet lack comparable charm and personality. But both offer more interior and cargo space. The same can be said for the electric versions of the Kia Niro and Hyundai Kona; both provide more space, practicality and range than the diminutive Fiat.

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Below Average

7.1

out of 10

We drove the 2025 FIAT 500e on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

Performance

8/10

How does the 500e drive? The 500e is smooth to drive and relatively quick around the city. The 8.1-second 0-60 mph sprint is slightly off the pace when compared with other electric vehicles' performance, but overall acceleration is about what we expect from small cars in general. The 500e does excel when it comes to braking performance, with shorter panic stops than rivals. As with most EVs, the 500e allows one-pedal driving, with the regenerative braking system slowing the car down when you back off the accelerator.

The 500e performed well in our handling tests. The battery is mounted below the cabin, helping lower the center of gravity and reducing body roll. The steering doesn't offer much feedback, but it's quick and light enough that parking is a breeze.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the 500e? The ride quality is better than you might expect for such a small car. It's not plush, but the 500e never feels harsh or overly firm when driving over bumps. The front seats offer decent padding, though lateral support is lacking. The seats feel flat compared with the more supportive and well-bolstered ones found in rivals. The 500e isn't as quiet as its rivals either. While the electric powertrain is nearly silent in operation, there's a noticeable lack of insulation and sound-deadening material. There's more wind and road noise than we expect from an EV today.

The 500e's climate controls work well. Not everything is relegated to a touchscreen, and there are real buttons for adjusting the temperature and fan speed. You can also adjust the vents manually rather than having to use the touchscreen as you do in vehicles like the Tesla Model 3.

Interior

7/10

How’s the interior? The 500e's controls are within easy sight and reach. The driver's seat offers a decent amount of adjustment, even for taller drivers, and the tall windows and short overhangs make it easy to see out of. There's no need to stretch to tap on the far side of the screen, as you do in some larger cars with wider displays. The infotainment system's menus are fairly straightforward to use, though we noticed a bit of lag when using the touchscreen. The resolution is lacking, too, making the whole interface feel dated compared with those of some tech-forward competitors.

Space is a concern. The front seats offer plenty of headroom, legroom and elbow room, but the rear seat is barely large enough for children and is a nonstarter for adults. The seats slide forward far enough to make getting in easy enough for a two-door vehicle, but it's still a big compromise considering that rival EVs offer rear doors with adult-size rear seats. Given the lack of space inside, we think the back is better used for cargo than for people.

Build & Price

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? The infotainment system's maps are easy to read and use, though there's less detail than in other navigation systems. Wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is standard. We didn't have any connection issues during our test, something we can't say every time we use wireless smartphone connections.

Fiat includes a number of driver aids as standard features, including adaptive cruise control, lane centering assistance, automatic emergency braking and parking sensors. Everything worked well during our time with the car, with no false readings or random stabs of the brakes.

Storage

5/10

How’s the storage? It's no surprise that cargo space and storage are among the Fiat's biggest weaknesses. While the hatch is useful, the 500e's 7.5-cubic-foot cargo space is paltry compared with everything else in the class. The rear seats fold down, but they don't fold flat and, in all honesty, don't massively increase the Fiat's utility. Storage up front is hardly any better. There's a small bin between the front seats, but it's not good for holding much beyond your phone and sunglasses. The narrow door pockets don't add much to the equation. The lack of cupholders is a letdown too, with just one up front and one in the rear.

The 500e does have anchors for installing a child's seat, though we wouldn't want to be the parent who has to hook everything up. There are only two doors and a limited amount of room to maneuver in. Larger rear-facing seats are going to be a tight fit, and that's before you actually get a kid inside. The 500e really isn't an EV for families.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Range and Efficiency

5/10

How are the range and efficiency? The Fiat 500e has an EPA-estimated range of up to 149 miles, which is far less than nearly every other EV on sale today. In the real-world Edmunds EV Range Test, the 500e traveled 159 miles on a single charge. Consumption was better than the estimate of 31 kilowatt-hours per 100 miles. We measured 25.9 kWh/100 miles, making it relatively efficient as electric vehicles go. (Lower figures are better when it comes to consumption.) Still, with a small battery, good efficiency will only get you so far.

Value

6.5/10

Is the 500e a good value? The 500e is one of the lower-priced EVs on the market. Yet compared with rivals in this class or at this price point, the 500e offers less range, less cargo and passenger space, and fewer features. Our test car had good fit and finish, with no rattles or squeaks from ill-fitting panels, but the interior felt cheap, with lots of hard plastic on the dash, doors and console. We do like Fiat's four-year/50,000-mile basic and eight-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranties, but that's not nearly enough to earn good marks when it comes to value.

Wildcard

8/10

The Fiat 500e's appeal lies in its charm and overall design. It's a car that you pick because it's fun and cool-looking, not because it offers good value or range for the price. Quite the opposite. That might be OK if it were more fun to drive, but it's not the electric hot hatch we were hoping for. It won't leave you bored, but it's no more fun than most other electric cars.

Which 500e does Edmunds recommend?

We rarely recommend a special-edition model, especially one with mostly aesthetic changes, but the new Giorgio Armani Collector's Edition simply captures certain Italian intangibles that make those vehicles unique. One only has to look back to the previous Gucci edition to see how it stands out from the regular 500e models. Thankfully, the upgrade isn't outrageously expensive.

2024 FIAT 500e (RED) Edition 2dr Hatchback (electric DD)

Disclaimer: I leased the FIAT 500e (RED) Edition (base model) about two months ago. This is my initial impression. The Good: I’ve completely fallen in love with this car. With my company shifting to five days in-office, my stressful commute on Los Angeles’ 405 freeway led me to seek an electric vehicle (EV) with HOV lane access. I wanted a lease, as BEV residuals are poor, and I …

Wonderful little car, high price, petty omissions

HPD, 01/26/2025

2024 FIAT 500e (RED) Edition 2dr Hatchback (electric DD)

I'll never understand why Edmunds or other reviewers judge all cars on the same metrics. Not everything is a 3 row midsize SUV. Not everyone has 3 kids, 2 dogs and builds a new deck every weekend. Knocking this because it's small is ridiculous, it's *SUPPOSED* to be small, dummies. It's like taking points off an F-350 because it's too big to park in most garages, can't make a u-turn … in 4 lanes or gets 12mpg. If it does what you need that is what matters, compare it to other cars in the same segment with the same use case. The total cargo space isn't huge, but the hatch opening relative to that size sure is which is more useful to many people than the total volume or length. I go to Target and come home with huge packages of TP and paper towels all the time but only need to haul plywood maybe once a decade. We put a 54qt Igloo cooler and 4 bags of groceries in the back without folding the seats or removing the cargo cover just fine. The rear seat folding is pretty awful though, it's not that they don't go level with the floor that bugs me but that they don't even fold in the neighborhood of flat, more like a 30 degree angle. Removing the seatbacks completely is something I might try. There are plenty of storage areas around the cabin to satisfy drivers, remember this is never going to have more than 2 adults in it so why do I need 10 storage bins, it's not a 7 passenger minivan and nobody is taking this cross country, how much crap do you need to stash in a daily commuter? A second cupholder up front would have been good, that *was* dumb. Materials are on the cheap side, though the dash still looks cool, but I actually seek out cars with lots of hard plastic interior bits as they smell less toxic right from the beginning, the softer the material the longer it takes to outgas. Hard plastics are also a big reason this weighs under 3k lbs and gets 150 miles of range from a tiny battery. My only complaint about the materials is the seat/door fabric IS really budget, better suited to a car half the price. There is no getting around that though as the "better" seats (remember when vinyl was gross and not premium?) only come on the more expensive models which don't have cheap leases available and nobody in their right mind is going to pay $37k for one of those. I'd get the front seats recovered in something much better if we keep it but considering Fiat at least and likely Stellantis as a whole will probably cease to exist before lease end I don't think I want to own this long term. On the seat subject, not having heated seats (and steering wheel) is a horrible kick in the teeth to an EV owner as that is pretty much the only way to be comfortable when it's cold without killing your range. Those should both be mandatory equipment in any EV. This alone should take it off your list if you're in a frequently cold climate. The heater in the 500e does do a good job though, better than our Honda Prologue by a good margin but that's because it's not a heat pump so it will hurt your range a lot in the cold. Performance is fine, good even. How can anyone consider 7.8 seconds to 60 as painfully slow? I guess nobody writing reviews remembers the 70's or 80's as 7.5 seconds was mid 80's IROC and 5.0 Mustang territory. Run of the mill econo cars back then were taking 20+ seconds to get up to speed, anything under 10 was legit quick. Yeah, you won't win any street races against other EV's but at no point does it feel inadequate, it gets the jump off the line and up to 45 over most cars with little effort. It's a total blast to drive in the city, like a go cart. The handling is excellent, and the ride is far better than you'd expect in such a small car (under 60mph) and has some of the best outward visibility of any car sold today. Things get a bit busy, buzzy and loud above 65 but it can go 85 with ease. Judge it for it's intended use, it can u-turn in a bowling alley, park in a coat closet. Using only level 1 takes just 24 hours to go from 10% to completely full and 10 hours overnight will get you 60+ miles of daily commute range. At 32 amp level 2 it's 5 hours from 0-100%. Even the DCFS speed isn't bad, sure it's only 85kw but given the size of the battery you'll never spend more than 20 minutes at the charger. Nobody is road tripping this other than to make ridiculous social media content. Tech is a bit of a letdown. They clearly want to push the higher models as the only way to get radar cruise, lane centering, heated seats and decent stereo. Radar cruise makes stop and go traffic so much less stressful, the 500e would benefit more than most and $34k isn't cheap, adaptive cruise should be here. LKAS isn't as important for something you won't road trip much if at all but it would be nice, the cameras are already here. It doesn't allow you to set a charge % limit for some reason yet there is a 1-5 charge level limiting setting that is not only not explained at all but also doesn't seem to do anything at least for American electrical standards. From what I can tell it's only purpose is to game free parking while charging scenarios so you slow the charge rate to keep the green light blinking. The lowest level 1 still allows at least 12 amp 120v charging so anyone needing less due to a circuit limit will have to buy another EVSE that can itself be turned down. The stereo is weak, again they are trying to bump you into a higher trim. While you can't change the head unit on a modern car I might look into getting the speakers replaced with something not so garbage if we keep it. You can't shuffle songs from a USB drive on this, why? Some decisions make you wonder if any of th design team has ever driven a car. There is no way to see your efficiency in miles/KWH. Instead there is a useless display that shows MPGe which has no purpose beyond comparing different electric cars. If you want to know your m/kwh you have to divide the MPGe by 33.7, everyone can just do that in their head, right? There is also a pointless guess o meter miles to empty that anyone familiar with an EV ignores completely. It *needs* a trip meter with current m/kwh and state of charge you can see on the main speedometer screen, the other things are useless. The Fiat app is pretty bad and unreliable but that's par for the course, our Honda link app is even worse. If you want to set a schedule for cabin preheat or charging schedule do it in the car or don't expect it will actually work. For free it sucks, as a paid sub no way. The actual downfall of this car is the price, it's laughable, pure comedy, but not good comedy...more like Gallagher in a wheelchair hitting lemons with a Fischer price plastic hammer. For our lease price that totals $5,500 all in for 36 months it's great and if we like it enough to buy it in 3 years for the $15k residual it might still be an ok deal but at $34k sticker (RED) or at some of the lease rates I've seen advertised, no chance, get out of here with that nonsense. If you pay more than $22k out the door or lease for more than $150/m sign and drive you are doomed to a life of poverty from poor decision making. It's really a great car for it's intended use which is commuter/grocery getter, plenty of space for 2 adults and normal cargo, easy to park and a blast to drive in town. Just be honest about what you really need in a car and definitely get one cheap if you do get one.
