ALL-ELECTRIC FIAT 500e NAMED BEST ELECTRIC CITY CAR BY DIESEL&ECOCAR MAGAZINE FOR SECOND YEAR RUNNING
  • FIAT 500e collects title for ‘Best Electric City Car’ in Diesel&EcoCar Magazine’s EcoCar Electrified Top 50 Awards for the second year in a row
  • Judges commend 500e for its range, affordability, design, and maneuverability
  • Buyers can benefit from FIAT’s new E-Grant and receive £3,000 towards a new 500e

 

The FIAT 500e has been awarded the title of ‘Best Electric City Car’ in Diesel&EcoCar Magazine’s EcoCar Electrified Top 50 Awards for the second consecutive year. This latest achievement further adds to the car’s collection of national and international accolades.
 

The 500e was put to the test by Diesel&EcoCar Magazine’s expert panel of journalists, who compared it to the leading electric vehicles in the market. The judges particularly praised the 500e for its excellent range, affordability, design, and maneuverability, making it the perfect choice for urban driving.
 

Ian Robertson, Editor & Publisher of Diesel&EcoCar Magazine, commented: “The 500e retains its position as our favorite all-electric city car. It is affordable to purchase outright, and with various low-cost financing options available, it will likely be many motorists’ first electric vehicle. It is incredibly easy to drive, with its smaller battery pack providing a range of 118 miles for city dwellers, and the 42kWh version offering a 199-mile range for longer journeys. Its quick acceleration, tight turning circle, and compact size make it an outstanding car for urban areas, and its interior represents a significant improvement from the older 500 models. It is more spacious than it appears and, of course, its adorable appearance cannot be ignored.”
 

Damien Dally, Managing Director of FIAT & Abarth UK, said: “We are delighted to receive further industry recognition for the 500e from Diesel&EcoCar Magazine by winning their Best City Car Award for the second year in a row. FIAT is leading the way in the nation’s transition to electric vehicles, making the 500e more accessible than ever with our new E-Grant initiative, which offers customers £3,000 towards the purchase of a new 500e or 500e Convertible.”
 

The Fiat 500e is the first fully-electric Fiat that has been designed from the ground up. It offers a range of best-in-class features, including Level 2 Autonomous Driving technologies, various battery options, and an impressive driving range of up to 199 miles (WLTP) – the longest range of any electric city car on the market today.
 

To further enhance the 500e’s appeal, the car is equipped with 85kW fast charging, allowing the battery to reach 80% range in just 30 minutes and enabling a range of 30 miles in approximately five minutes.
 

Additionally, thanks to its fully-electric nature, the 500e is exempt from congestion charges and the ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone), making it the ideal vehicle for urban areas. Furthermore, the 500e convertible is the only 4-seater convertible in its segment.
