We contacted Fiat USA to get a confirmation of the price and learn more about the U.S.-spec 500e, so watch this space for updates.<\/p>\n
While it won’t be America’s most affordable EV\u2014the $28,140 2024 Nissan Leaf will likely snatch that title from the outgoing Chevy Bolt EV\u2014the 2024 Fiat 500e will certainly be an appealing option for buyers looking for a fashionable electric city runabout.<\/p>\n
Although the U.S. launch is scheduled for the next quarter, not much is known about the 2024 Fiat 500e. According to order guide data seen by CarsDirect<\/em>, the electric city car is a single-motor, front-wheel-drive EV that comes standard with 17-inch aluminum multi-spoke wheels shod with 205\/45R17 all-season tires, cloth bucket seats with red accents, and a 10.25-inch Uconnect 5 navigation system.<\/p>\n The European-spec model is currently available with two powertrain combinations: a 94-horsepower motor with a 23.8-kilowatt-hour battery pack or a 117-hp motor with a 42-kWh battery. The latter is likely to be the only one offered in the U.S. since it offers the longest range\u2014it’s WLTP-rated at almost 200 miles (320 kilometers).<\/p>\n The previous-generation Fiat 500e had a very low EPA-estimated range of 84 miles, and it was only sold in California, Oregon, and Maryland. That’s because it was a “compliance vehicle” whose main goal was to help Fiat meet emissions regulations in select states.<\/p>\n The original Fiat 500e was also a car that lost the automaker a lot of money. The late Sergio Marchionne, the former Fiat-Chrysler CEO, famously said in 2014 that he hoped people wouldn’t buy the car because the company was losing $14,000 on every unit sold.<\/p>\n Here’s hoping that Fiat has done its homework better this time and the new 500e will be a much more enticing proposition for U.S. buyers. The sub-$33,000 base price is certainly a good prerequisite.<\/p>\n
