Navigating the bustling streets of Midtown Sacramento in the 2024 Fiat 500e RED, I couldn’t help but appreciate the vehicle’s nimble handling and compact size.
The electric motor’s instant torque made darting through traffic a breeze. Swiftly changing lanes for the hard to find parking spots that would challenge larger vehicles was effortless.
The 2024 Fiat 500e is powered by a single permanent-magnet electric motor that produces 117 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque.This front-wheel-drive hatchback features a 37.0 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, providing an EPA-estimated range of 162 miles.
The seats feature subtle “FIAT” patterns, “Made in Torino” mentions, and the overall design includes various Easter eggs reminiscent of those found in Jeep vehicles (both brands being under the Stellantis umbrella).
The car’s compact size, adequate range, and distinctive Italian design make it a compelling option for city dwellers seeking an electric runabout with personality.
The Fiat 500, an iconic Italian automobile, has a rich history spanning over six decades. Its story began in 1957 when Fiat introduced the Nuova 500, designed by Dante Giacosa.
