NEW FIAT 500 ELECTRIC REVIEW - BETTER THAN THE HONDA E?

EV Channels Review

The new Fiat 500 is a stylish, all-electric city car that retains its iconic Italian design while offering a significantly updated interior with a modern infotainment system. The reviewer praises its cute aesthetics, compact size, tight turning circle, and the convenience of one-pedal driving. However, the interior quality and fit-and-finish are noted as being somewhat cheap, and rear passenger space is extremely limited, making it impractical for adults. The boot capacity is also modest. On the driving front, the steering is very light, and while it's nimble in town, the suspension can feel fidgety on rougher roads, and there's noticeable wind and tire noise on faster roads. The real-world range achieved was approximately 153.5 miles from the 42kWh battery, which is considered adequate but not class-leading. The reviewer concludes that while it's not the best small electric car available, its standout design makes it a compelling option to shortlist.
