#fiat #electric #new - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Not everyone is 6' 3". I have a 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth. My family maxes out at 5' 8" (I'm 5' 5"). Four of us fit just fine. I wouldn't take my family on a cross-country trip in it, but it's our go-to vehicle for a trip into Manhattan. I park in all those spaces that are too small for everyone else.
sneaky hobbitses
I'm 6'1" and Fiat in my 2015 Abarth just fine. 6'3" people should not be making generalizations that a car is too small. They are the exception not the rule.
As a 6’ 4” person, I’m height handicapped for MOST of the cool fun cars 😩
@@AlvinBrinsonThumbs up.
@@J.W.W. -- There are advantages to being vertically-challenged.
Fiat 500e was my first EV (early 2014). Barely 90 mile range, but so quick from 0-30 mph. Great city car.
So quick off the line
Nice to see actual buttons! Could be a good little around town car running errands since most cars have just one person in them most of the time.
Exactly.
Or long work commute or moderate trips
I just bought a 2014 500e. I'll buy this model in another 10 years 😁😁😁
It's a fun car!
Hope you got a deal, most fun I've every had in an EV was my Fiat 500E. I'm driving a Chevy Bolt now, and its incredibly quick and efficient and more grown up, but i still miss the Cinquecento!
Same, 23 Bolt, more practical
Love seeing these come back better than ever.
Jeep Avenger, would be a much better fit for NA.
I like some of the old styling better. The contrast mirrors & wing
6:23 "Rather than only putting a battery in the back of the vehicle like the old car had" Incorrect. Someone is not familiar with their past offerings.
The original 500e had a battery pack that ran the length of the cabin like most modern EVs.
Yeah that's weird for him to even say that. Maybe he's never seen the previous model before. /s Or maybe shouldn't be making assumptions.
Im in Canada and have mine on order in Tuxedo Black. Where i live it will be about 30k after rebates. Hopefully will have it soon
Nice! Love my 2015
Playing a tune every time you go over 20mph is going to get old REALLY quickly.
Since it makes it so much harder to run over pedestrians, when they can hear you coming.
I already hate the noise makers on EVs. They are too loud and totally unnecessary.
@@nc3826 what victims? Pay attention when your are driving and walking and you won't have accidents. It's that kind of attitude why cars cost $10k more than they need to because we have to put 2 foot thick doors and 20 air bags in them.
Since noise is so terrible, we agree that we should outlaw every ICEV....
But noise serves a very important purpose... it warns us when something dangerously stupid is coming at us....
Such as scared luddite trolls, who are scared of the inevitable future.... and who sadly doesn't have a productive life... Victims of their own ineptitude.....
Have fun down the pointless rabbit hole, that's going nowhere fast....
Good idea for safety, but some gas cars are very quiet at low speeds t o o. Making selectable sounds would fix it come on my EV sounds are boring
Have one of these over here in Europe for more or less a year now and put already 23k kilometers on it without a single issue. Great daily driver.
kilometers? what is that in football field lengths?
@@BoopSnoot 23.000km are 14.300 miles. ;-)
It was nice to see someone from the manufacturer that KNOWS his stuff, including shipping issues!
I own and drive a 2016 500 E, I got it in 2019, and while it is true that it only has about 80-85 miles of range, I think you’re underselling how well that range can get you around Los Angeles where it was originally sold. I can get from one side of town to the other twice without too much trouble, meaning from the westside to the valley and back. 17 miles, 34 miles round-trip, so two days of work not just one.
Also, I think it’s hilarious that the “parcel shelf“ in the sample they have there is broken. That’s something that happens on a lot of these 500 vehicles, that’s kind of hilarious that they didn’t swap it out for this photo op.
I want you guys (or Out of Spec) to buy one and do some I-70 range testing! They are missing out if they are only marketing toward city dwellers. Lots of Rural Coloradans have small EV's to compliment their 4Runner or F-150, and 160 mile range is plenty for day trips if you don't need the ground clearance that day.
I’m not in Colorado or even in the USA but I run a 2023 Defender D250 alongside a Mini Cooper S E - 90% of my motoring can be covered in the Mini, but it’s pretty well useless for off-road stuff - but then the Defender cannot get into most of the multi-storey car parks in town where there are 1.90m headroom barriers……….. to stop vans and commercial vehicles using the car parks
@@timoliver8940 Car makers need to stop pretending that EV's are for city people. It's the people in the suburbs and the country that have garages and places to charge and usually have 2 cars anyway!
I honestly wish they would stop that and do a proper city test with these kinds of cars. They're not meant for highways
They need to bring the convertible! As silly as it sounds it would take the car from dead on arrival to instant buy for me. A lifestyle car like this needs a sunroof at a minimum
I agree 100%. Convertible option is a must for this car.
If the convertible gas version didn't sell, neither will an EV version.
As a former Fiat X/19 owner this is an exciting little car. I'd definitely get one as my first EV.
I love the guy in the background pushing around the blue FIAT.....made me feel like I was back in the old country 😂
34000 with 150 mi is a bit rough. Especially where it's usually smaller cars that are even cheaper.
Granted, it's not fighting new Bolts anymore for now, but still rough.
Very cute car though
Well said!
You are buying this car because you want it. You aren’t cross shopping a 500e. It will look awesome next to my Mini SE
My Rogue S was under $30K, way roomier, can tow 1500lbs, and has a EPA rated range of 537 miles highway. Gas tank charges from 0 to 100% full in 3 minutes.
@@BoopSnoot ok?
10 years from now someone will be buying these and putting motorcycle engines in them
Product red! Love it! Thanks for the support
Just saw a second gen 500e in my local area here in upstate NY finally, Michigan plates so they made a journey lol. Great looking car though I have the first gen 500e and it’s been one of the best cars I have ever owned and after 10 years of age the battery is still doing amazing with little range lost. Can’t say that for many EV’s. The Bosch drive train really has held up. Let’s hope the new one lasts just as long. Go Fiat! Let’s make a comeback
Ppl r so dumb, they just want to say unreliable because it's a Fiat, not knowing anything about it
Another great video from Roman and the TFL team, packed allot into it. Look forward to a deeper dive on the battery. What battery chemistry and curious about bidirectional charger. Next time getting some matching red shoes. 😅
Video molto carino, ben dettagliato... Appena arrivata, fantastica! Non credevo nell'elettrico, presa come seconda auto della famiglia e devo dire che la adoro! Super soddisfatto!!!!. finalmente un veicolo cittadino...💚💚💚
I had a 2013 500e which was the first year for the EV version and it was the best of the compliance EV’s, but Fiat lost money on every sale, so they really didn’t want to sell them. Mine had been leased in California and then the dealer was bringing them up to Washington by the truckload and people were buying them as fast as they could get them out of the truck. It was a great commuting car. I think the furthest I ever drove it was 57 miles to the airport. The airport had 50 outlets in the parking garage, the car was full when I came back.
I put 20k miles on it before I decided I wanted a car with fast charging and sold it.
They have become kind of cult favorites because I paid $6500 for mine in 2017 and I doubt they could be found for that now.
At the time I wished that it had fast charging and 150 miles of range. That’s not really enough for a long trip, but for me a trip to downtown Seattle was almost 50 miles, so I pretty much plugged it in anywhere I went.
With the seats down I could fit my folding e-bike in back and I could easily park in spots where pickup trucks couldn’t
For $99 monthly lease I would consider it.
For $199 a month I’d do it.
Not even for $1 a month.
@@Digikidthevoiceofreason you're bad at math or don't have electricity. Maybe both.
The original 500e was like $89/mo or something on a lease deal.
@@anthonyc8499 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Nah I just think Fiats are one of the UGLIEST little shitboxes ever.
Virginia would like these also ❤😊 as a former Enterprise employee this was my favorite run around car . I’m 6ft 5 in 202lbs and never had any issues driving or riding in the back.
The original 500e was offered for a $50/month lease, absolute steal!
A car dealer near me imported dozens of these California 500e to sell them in our country. He told me that these sold terribly in the states and were never meant to be really used by people. They just had to be sold to meet Californian laws.
perfect city car, college kids car and first-timers car
Or country car, for people w a job etc
Cheers guys
Nice update, but for me the range is still insufficient... Give me a solid 225 ml. range and quick charger and it will be a consideration. I do like the overall looks.
I think fiat has hit a home run with this 500e, especially if they bring a cabrio out that’s affordable , they’ll sell as many as they make . I’m looking for an open air electric car here in South Carolina and this if it’s affordable that’s less than 35,000 it’ll sell!
I love how they’re just pushing the old school 500 around
This is such a good car, people bash it too much but if you already have a big SUV this kind of tiny efficient car is a great addition, only problem is the price being a bit too high to justify it over a dirt cheap used Leaf or something of that sort.
Update. Stelantis is considering a hybrid propulsion for Fiat 500 as EV sales are collapsing.
Love it.
Allow the ability to turn off "features" like driving assist, location and bluetooth so its not always on
Bring the 500e abarth cabrio over to the US please
I’m with you. No Abarth trim, no sale.
They get some points for not having a goofy mechanical gear selector for an EV like some of the other brands.
Did he say the navigation is powered by Tom Tom? Wow I forgot about that company.
I hope they've updated their system because in the past there were several states that didn't work with Tom Tom such as rural Wisconsin.
Roman pretty tight huh. Can’t wait to see Roman getting in and out of the Porsche.
Looks great. If this shipped with NACS, it'd be a killer offering.
Not necessary. Almost nobody except a CZcamsr would drive this any distance. It's for local use only, which is all that is needed for 97% of buyers.
@@davidmccarthy6061 Lol, that's why I said 'killer feature'. Try and keep up, Dave. Who says no to something that would completely unlock your ability to conveniently travel anywhere they wanted to go? Also, it's crazy that you know how all these people are going to use their cars haha 🤡
@@natebaird NACS??? You must mean J3400, which is the correct current official designation.
Looks great??? The slightly larger boxer Jeep Avenger. Would make much more sense for the North American market.
I will grant you that looks are subjective. So I'd love to see both sold in North America. To see which one would sell better?
Can’t wait for the convertible version to be available. I’ll buy one!!
I own a 2017 and love it. I was hoping that they would come with the 199 mile range like the European version has, but 150 is almost twice the range I currently have. I'm curious to see if the Abarth version will come after these or the 600e. That would be a great car since it has the range and space most Americans prefer.
What do you mean? Most Americans complain 300 mile battery range is not enough for their endless cross country trips to local Walmart and office commute. Do you ever read the comments?
Lol...I've only had 84 for 5 yrs and never once did I get stranded on my local commutes, errands. And that's with a compliance car that has no fast charging. Definitely looking to another EV with 200 plus range because that is all I really need.
@@mxmillo wow you are just shaking up 90 percent of Americans with these comments. All of these people that want everyone to believe in their active lifestyle, constant boat towing and daily cross country skiing trips all while working a boring office job actually commuting 20-30 miles per day. But they will never admit 100 miles of daily range is all they need 99 percent of the time.
@@00_UUI need my vehicle to work 100 percent of the time. Not 99. It's why I kept my diesel Ram even though my 300 mile rangish R1T is good for the 95 percent of what I do. The 5 percent I use dinosaur juice.
@@ericjarvis3051 my 99 percent comment referred to the distance, not reliability. ICE vehicles are not 100 percent reliable, if it was the case repair shops would’ve gone out of business. Since your 95 percent are met with an EV, what are those 5 percent that you still need? If I had to tow a boat two times a year, I would just rent a truck for those days. You still agree 300 mile range is plenty for absolute majority of Americans.
I didn’t know “American” was a language. 😂
Love it - only thing it’s missing is J3400! 🎉
very nice! needs cabrio, abarth horsepower, and 250 miles of range.
If it had a range of about 225-240 I would consider replacing my 2013. If they could push the the battery up to about 52kw.....then it would be good for the states.
What did you use to record the video? It was pretty stuttery.
When do these go on sale
If they came out with a RWD/AWD I would be very interested.
I started my journey through FIATdom why selling them, with a new 1974 128 2 door, then a 131, then a 124Spider, followed by some unfortunately unreliable Alfa Romeos... until a 2018 FIAT Abarth 500... that was a fun car as I was selling them again for that year. Now I saw a European 500e Abarth is on sale in the UK. Any chance of it coming here?
Is this an LFP battery?
I like the product but for one thing - over the air updates. Thus means the potential to remotely brick the car. If they can prove the ECU/ECM can’t be remotely touched (almost impossible) then I’d consider it. The price isn’t really that bad at a 5 year amortization.

I do feel as a city the original 500e would really hold up for just small trips and stuff
14-19 - if they upped it to at least 100mi range, it would have been a major improvement in practicality.
The 0-60 doesn't explain the performance, 0-40 mph is exciting.
Mine has been super reliable.
6"2"" plenty xtra headroom.
$25k was the magic number. $32.5k is too expensive, considering you can get a well equipped Bolt EV for probably less...
The Chevy Bolt is discontinued so no, you can't.
@@ducktails1695 they still have 2023 models in stock.
@@0oJMPo0 So? That doesn't mean they're always in stock when the Fiat 500 is still sold. If they do then they must not be as good as you say they are. Otherwise they'd be selling out of them.
@ducktails1695 GM will bring it back in 2025. But ok, forget about the Bolt EV. Take a look at the Model 3: they start at $39k. When they become eligible for the point of sell tax credit the price will drop to $31,500. It makes no sense to buy a Fiat 500e at $32.5k when there are better options out there🙃.
@@0oJMPo0 Just keep moving that goal post around....

Wait. They sell a petrol model in Europe, yet I think he said there was no more petrol model. Is that a continuation of the previous model?
That’s ridiculous I wouldn’t pay more then $20,000 for that. $32,500 is insane
Dude said it was a great price... then went on to say it's only good for 149mi lol they're in Ford Lightning Territory with that price
can you tell me any electric car on the market today that is below $25,000 ?? and remember those are made in Italy with very good workmanship, quality, reliability. I know they are reliable, i own a 2022 jeep renegade made in italy, very very reliable trouble free for almost a year, not a single issue. The inspirational nomad here in youtube has over 200,000 miles on a renegade and its still on the road.
Anyone that thinks that a good value for that car has some mental issue! There’s no way that car is worth $32k and only gives 149 miles. You can get a Chevrolet bolt for $26,500 same size if not bigger gives you 259 miles or you can step up to the bolt EUV that’s definitely bigger then that fiat for $27,800 and gives you 247 miles of range. Stelantis products are complete garage!
Just take my money !
Ask him why Fiat NA decided to scrap the 124 spider and leave us with no dealership support
My 6 ft frame says i never will even if they gave it to me, is it THAT hard to make a small car with leg room and a taller roof line.
Yes, when they are going for the familiar profile of the 500. It is just like a Miata that fits a smaller amount of people. Not every car has to be for everyone.
"Good things are not new, and new things are not good". Gioachino Rossini.
They sell maybe 10k of these a year if they are lucky. Warm climate city cars are what these are
So almost everywhere because we are at the end of this ice age. The 50-70 degree Chicago winter this year was quite nice.
@@davidmccarthy6061 yeah, but we also had temperatures near zero too. It's just more bipolar now
I didn't hear if it was front or rear wheel drive??
The previous generation was front wheel drive, so I'd expect this one to be as well.
FWD.
Why did they remove the 3rd door?
Federal regulations don't allow it I believe was the answer in a different review where it was mentioned.
This will be made in Serba where Yugo was made.
Every Ram 1500 comes with a free 500e.
Bring the 24' ABARTH GAS Model to the USA!
They need to import into Jacksonville Port… or Tampa
I dont like them. An indian scout is way cooler and its just missing a roof
What an absurdly long and convoluted answer to the NACS question! Dude, SHUT UP with the marketing speak! Why did you have to mention a new CEO in your answer? List all the partners?
Stellantis, EV strategy in NA, shows no appreciation for NA sensibilities.
For example to sell the tiny rounded Fiat 500e, but not the slightly larger boxerJeep Avenger in NA is illogical. Is one of many examples.
Lol 35-40k for 150 miles when you have a used Nissan Leaf under 15k for the same range 😅. That battery is pretty "big" for a low range
That screen looks honestly the same screen that is in the new jeep wrangler/gladiator
it's the same family so you will have part share. not a bad thing, though.
@@mixedbyfiatcat oh yeah I see where you are coming. Makes sense
They're all from Stellantis so of course it is. It's the same screen that's in my Dodge Hornet too and this car has some of the same exact features of my Hornet.
@@ducktails1695 oh okay cool man thanks. How do you like your hornet? I personally like the way it looks
@@stavystevenson7419 I really like it a lot. I have a Hornet R/T Plus. It's so much fun to drive, it rides well, handles well. It's very easy to see out of and maneuver around where I live. It's premium feeling inside. I just really like it and it's a shame everyone puts it down because it's a Dodge or a rebadged Alfa. It really is a nice vehicle. I'm leasing mine so I got the EV credit which dropped the price around $6500 on top of what the dealer took off plus my trade so I'm paying around $138/mo for a $51,000 vehicle.
I've had it since mid-january and have only put gas in it 4 times I believe. I just went nearly 4 weeks without having to put gas in it as I mostly use the EV portion and I can charge it for free at work.
When it adopts nacs sae 3400 it’ll be so much better!!
I loved my fiat 500E. Might have to treat myself to a new one
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Take some free advice. Tuck in your shirt. Looks like someone shot the curtains at the days inn.
A lot of fools dropped in to trash a car they know nothing about
So strange to call this car all-new when it has been out since 2020 in europe 💀
Looks like a go-kart.
A really ugly one
Go-Kart(s) are fun.
They need to sell the electric Abarth in north America
$32k!? No way it's worth that much. Maybe if a used one can be found for less than $10k in a year or two it might be worth it. Or a dirt cheap lease
They should've kept the 2nd gen 500 electric, scandalously we didn't get it in Europe
I've driven a 2018 500e for about two and a half years now. I had to stop watching this video. The 1st generation 500e was introduced in 2013, not "2015-ish" (I'm looking at a 2013 on CARFAX as I type) and had a battery pack running the entire underside of the vehicle, not "just in the back". Many of the reviews of the 1st gen 500e said it handled better than the ICE version because of the battery placement and low center of gravity. How is the head of Fiat NA so wrong about their own car?
More range to allow the owner to have a better chance of getting back to the dealer for repair.
Hmmm I didn’t even know Fiat still sold cars in the US.
Soon we start our 50000km European Tour in a 53 year old Fiat 500R, check it out!!!
The All-New 2021 Fiat 500e Is Now Bigger And It Has THIS Much More Range!
at that price it's going to flop, given the range and size. i first leased a 2015 fiat 500e because it was $90 a month and $0 down, and then bought a used one for $7000 a few years later. i loved both, never any issues.
It's about 10k too expensive. Put the gas motor back in it.
sorry, they are priced very very reasonably
❤❤❤
Just needs a lil more range 😭
34k is insanity
no, quite the contrary, that price is very reasonable considering the equipment you get, and how the car is beautiful, electric and dont forget the italian cachet, just like italian women, they are the best looking girls,
IDK why people STILL to this day expects vehicles to be in the upper teens to lower $20,000 range. Those days have long passed and if you do happen to see one it's an absolute POS.
Ok, but why would you buy this when a base Model 3 only costs $3.5k more?
You will get some discounts!I can buy one here in Europa for around $25k if i am looking for the best deal!
@@brunoheggli2888 maybe a discount after depreciation, but owners can’t apply for the federal tax credits because it’s built in europe.
1:13 Cracking little old car
umm 32grand? you know bolts euv like almost 300 miles and same price more room... 500e need to be no more than 25... price competition wise.
The Bolt is discontinued...So it doesn't really compete anymore.
Fiat is charging $1500 for destination. You can fit at least 10 of those cars on a car hauler. And the truck driver is going to get paid, maybe $1000 for the whole load.😢😢 So what is fiancée doing with the other $14000?
these cars are made in Italy. I didnt know you could cross the atlantic ocean on a car hauler, lol.
I like the car, bit it's far from practical. For sure it's Not the most populair city car in Europe. Probably in Italy, but not outside Italy. I never see them in Germany or the Netherlands.
Not for $32k . $22k, yes.
How about 24.5K after the credit? Even thousands less than that in some states.
@@davidmccarthy6061 Correct me if I am wrong, but Fiat does not qualify for the $7500 federal tax credit.
avg. car price is $50k these days.
@@gregpochet4812 if you lease it, you will get tax credit.
@@mixedbyfiatcat Not for a car that is a 2 seater and only gets 150 miles of range. My ID4 was only $6k more than this, Bolt EUV was $4k less. The 500e is not priced well for the non cult followers of this car.
People were smaller.
The range is similar to a base model Gen2 Nissan Leaf (2018+) with 40 kWh battery. And you can buy one of them for around 15k, not going to be as cramped. Agree that the Fiat is cute, but cute doesn't mean a lot.
New Leaf is also very comfortable, better than most Nissans. Even the interior quality is higher in the Leaf, which is a very old model by modern standards
Old one kinda sucked, new one kinda sucks. I'd rather have the F56 MINI SE. 114mi vs 149mi isn't a huge difference, at least have it be well built and not so slow. You can get those pretty cheap used or heavily discounted on lease. Classy little thing instead of whatever 500e is trying to do.
I am also salty because at the time of the original 500e (then FCA) didn't care about it, want to service, or maintain these things. It had DCFC in mules, removed before launch. Infotainment was trash, plagued with dead modules. Their app and telematics literally had a 3 year time limit with no option to renew. It used a bespoke CAN system that made any kind of diagnostic temperamental. Repair parts were insanely expensive. It was also built like the after thought compliance EV it was. Not the kind of company I'd give money to twice.
Well I have a 2014 500e with 80,000 miles and other than a wheel bearing it’s been nearly perfect in terms of reliability. The Bosch designed battery is over 10 years old now and still doing great with minimal range lost so I say they did a good job with the old model. Not many EV’s can say the same. Hopefully the same will be true for this new one.
It's called 500e everywhere bro, not used in the uneducated USofA!
