Product Overview

Fiat 500 facelift is an affordable subcompact hatchback in production from 2015. It is available with a range of inline-2, inline-3, and inline-4 engines that displaced 0.9 to 1.4 liters.
The 500 is one of the few cars that uses parallel-twin engines that are more often found in motorcycles. Interestingly, this is not the base engine, with weaker I3s on offer.
Owners may find that at speed the vehicle consumes a lot more than the numbers indicate, thanks to a disappointing 0.36 coefficient of drag to show for it. The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.
Another plus is the small 9.3m (30.5ft) turning circle.

For a still-unfinished car, the new 500 already feels a remarkably complete product. The Turin drive showed a car of great potential, albeit one with question marks over it. Pricing and specification are as yet unknown, save for the £26,995 (after government grant) of a fully loaded La Prima launch edition.

Pros
  • Powerful electric drivetrain
  • Decent range-saving mode
Cons
  • Not the most comfortable to drive
  • No infotainment

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:
The 500 appeals as a finely wrought, thoroughly practical evocation of the original 500, and backs that up with a good finish and tempting customisation options. In the case of the TwinAir it appeals with advanced engineering as well, its two-cylinder engine putting out the power and torque of a diesel, but with more refinement.

Pros
  • Punchy and fun to drive
  • Lots of standard equipment
Cons
  • Lack of fun and style

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The new Fiat 500 is a superb all-electric city car, and one that should be at the top of your shortlist if you're in the market for a stylish and immensely capable small EV. The 500 retains all of its familiar Italian flair, and is now even more appealing with updated on-board tech along with a practical real-world range. Throw in the government’s plug-in car grant incentive and the new 500 offers tremendous value for money.

Pros
  • Superb all-electric power
  • Excellent practicality
Cons
  • No kerb appeal

The Fiat 500 maintains the old car's fashion accessory image. But it's also a small EV with usable range, the latest charging tech and crucially it's offered at a very tempting price. Priced from £19,995 after factoring in the Government's plug-in car grant, the line-up kicks off with the low-range model that's capable of 115 miles.

Pros
  • Fantastic powertrain
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Good range
Cons
  • More expensive than rivals
  • Not as comfortable as rivals

The new Fiat 500 is a huge car for the Turin car maker. In top-spec ‘Icon' trim, the 500 electric hatchback looks like a winner on paper. With the larger 42kWh battery, you can achieve a WLTP-rated 199 miles on a single charge. Thanks to 85kW charging capability, this 500 electric can recharge from 0 to 80 per cent in 35 minutes. On the move the new 500's light steering and small wheelbase make for an excellent city car.

Pros
  • Bigger battery
  • Good range
  • Decent infotainment
Cons
  • Lack of practicality
  • Cabin feels cramped

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The 500 continues to impress; it’s effortless to drive, while a lot of thought has clearly gone into its overall design. The charging issues we encountered can’t be blamed on the car, but the problem is exacerbated by the 500 struggling to match its urban efficiency while travelling at motorway speeds.

Pros
  • Impressive infotainment system
  • Impressive electric powertrain
  • Decent range
Cons
  • Battery life could be better
  • Charging issues
