FIAT 500 ACTION - CHEAP, BUT IS IT CHEERFUL?

EV Channels Review

The Fiat 500 Action presents a compelling case for budget-conscious electric car buyers, offering a significantly lower entry price by sacrificing some specification and range. The reviewer highlights that despite its basic trim, the Action model retains the stylish design and quality interior feel of its more expensive siblings, with seats made from recycled materials being a particular plus. The primary drawback is the smaller 24kWh battery, offering a real-world range closer to 100 miles, which proved limiting in one specific instance requiring a longer journey. However, for the vast majority of daily use and urban driving, the range is deemed sufficient, especially given the car's quick charging capabilities. The reviewer strongly recommends opting for the 'radio pack' to include a proper infotainment screen, as relying solely on a phone mount is found to be inconvenient. Ultimately, the Fiat 500 Action is praised as a "cracking little car" that closely captures the spirit of the original classic 500, offering substantial savings over higher trims and competitors, making it a strong contender in the affordable EV market.
